Desensitization refers to the process by which individuals become less responsive to stimuli over time, particularly in relation to repeated exposure to violence, trauma, or distressing events. This phenomenon is significant as it suggests that continuous viewing of certain content on television can lead viewers to react less emotionally and with diminished empathy towards real-life situations that mirror what they see on screen.
