Nowadays, The number of people who are watching films has increased drastically. Cinemas come with many subjects varying from horror to comedy. It is believed by some individuals that movies should only be meant for entertainment while, where is other whole the view that entertainment should further have elements which can contribute to education. In this essay I intend to discuss both view points I believe that films can do either or both entertaining and educational
On the one hand, there are certain reason why some opine that movies should only be meant for entertainment. Firstly, in this past moving contemporary world, everyone is so much occupied with work and merely have any time in life to grape fun. They also look at it as a means to refresh their minds. Furthermore films and television programs are part of the entertainment industry. The purpose of this industry is for entertainment, and it is multi billion dollar industry that creates jobs and generates a lot of money in many countries.
On the other hand films and TV programs can have very strong effects on the mind of audiences and their for people should be careful about how the content of the films that they watch affect them and their families. For example, many peoples moral and values are shaped by whate watch on TV and in films. In addition children can learn about right and wrong through watching films. For instance, watching a film about war may cause people to have a strong sense of patriotism for their country which could be seen as a positive educational effect.
In conclusion, it is generally seen some view movies in attitude to amuse themselves however, there are others who wish to see them only if they think these have some educational value. I strongly opened that we should keep our thinking very flexible while one watches any movie as they are not always directed with an objective to cater to education.
