Answer:Perceive the injuries of victims of violence as less severe

Explanation:

Watching violent shows induces a perception in the mind of Fred that the injuries of victims of violence as less severe. Regularly watching violence can mold the behavior of young Fred as he might think that violence is the way to adopt if something is needed.

Most of the shows do not show the consequences of injury so it can make Fred insensitive towards the severeness of injury.
