it is irrefutable that the films and TV programmes today are filled with violerice and as a result violence in ecreasing in our societies. I agree that by censoring such programmes and films, some amounts of violences be deceased in the following paragraphs, I shall put forth my arguments to support my views
Reducing the amount of violence on TV and in the cinema would certainly be a good start to decrease the fear and violence among people. It is a well-known fact that the media possesses a lot of power to influence people So, those in the media must be judicious about delivering news in a balanced manner that brings the stereoti consumer without showing too much violence. Journalism is a profession like any other, and certain standards of quality and professionalism need to be maintained
There are many harmful effects of such programmes on the individuals and society. The most disturbing effect is on the children and youth. Media violence can stimulate fear in some children, and frighten them. As children see such programs more and more, the effects can become long lasting. Children are in a growing phase and their personality, values and beliefs are being shaped. They can withdraw into a shell, and not bloom properly because of this fear deep down in their minds
Moreover, young people imitate what they see, and it is logical that they see glamour in what they do when they commit violence. Consequently, the society suffers, as the streets are full of violence Finally, too much portrayal of these also leads to immunity among the people and they are not affected by the disasters any more. Disasters like Tsunami and earthquakes don’t make people shed a tear any more.
Summing up, having a check on the violence in TV programmes and films, would certainly be a good start to decrease the fear among people and also lessen the violence and crime in
