We are sheltered. Those images do have to be accompanied with contextual appropriate information. Otherwise it's just images.
As a child and teen, how I even understand the atrocities of Auschwitz if I didn't at least see a few photos? Or even what happened with bombing of Hiroshima.
I also remember as a child occasionally seeing dead bodies on tV during Vietnam War.
I don't agree with the established press doing anything that means constantly flashing images like that every hr. or even several times per day.
Am I traumatized? No, but became more sensitized at that time as child that it truly motivated me to read more about some of the "crap" during WW II to understand...and hope it is never repeated again.
It does become problematic with digital cameras, social media dissemination of images. So that facet is problematic.
