A few individuals argue that the fictional violence visible on television does no harm for entertainment, while others think that it is harmful and may inspire violent habits in some people. Both of the opinions of individuals are true to some extent, but in my opinion, violent movies or television can be harmful to children. All the views and my opinion are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Action movies may be harmful to children as at a young age, children tend to copy whatever they see and hear from the surroundings. If a child is exposed to a significant amount of action or violence, he might think that it is normal in the real world and try to impersonate it. For instance, recently there was a case of a child who jumped off from the terrace of the building he lived in and was severely injured as he thought that he could fly just like some movie character he saw on television. Additionally, adults also get inspired by the illegal activities shown on television. A person can learn how to pick locks just by watching it in some movies where it is shown how to do so.
Contrary to this, violence when portrayed correctly can be a harmless way of entertainment. Movies which show unreal scenes of violence can be entertaining to all the audience and are do not do harm of any kind. For example, Avengers, a popular movie series, has violence which cannot be replicated in the real world. Moreover, these kind of television shows also tend to attract huge number of audience and generate massive amount of revenue.
In my opinion, these genre of movies and TV shows not only does harm to physical health of people but also the psychological health of individuals. People can get indulged in illegal activities which are violent and do harm to the rest of the population, if not themselves.
In conclusion, although fictional violence is a great way of entertaining people, but it also encourages individuals to be violent. I think that there should be more censorship toward these kind of shows and movies to decrease their impact on the population.
