Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aggression Theory From his experimental observations on children, Bandura discovered that children are highly influenced by what they see. If they consume violent contents on television, there is a tendency that they are likely going to be violent by practicing what they have seen on television.

Detailed explanation-2: -Censoring Media Violence is Necessary To Protect Children (From Violence in the Media, P 57-58, 1995, Carol Wekesser, ed.–See NCJ-160238) Violent television programs promote violence and aggressiveness in children; to prevent this harm, violence on television must be regulated and censored.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is used to counter espionage. Political censorship occurs when governments hold back information from their citizens. This is often done to exert control over the populace and prevent free expression that might foment rebellion.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to the SLT, “aggressive behaviors are learned through reinforcement and the imitation of aggressive models” (Gross, 2020, p. 489).
