The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is a prevalent belief that unlawful acts of violent nature stem from brutality showcased in motion films and television programs; thus, to help impede such phenomenon the content in these media should be strictly regulated. This essay shall examine the relevance of this statement in the following paragraphs, and emanate a substantiated conclusion. 

At the outset, the support for this proposal is founded on the assumption( presupposition/postulation/presumption/hypothesis) that cruelty is highly glamorised and tends to impact viewers, especially the young, as it gives a food for thought and persuades individuals to emulate such criminal endeavors. This lobby is often seen citing sporadic cases that followed famous Netflix series like Money Heist. This program was blamed for an increment in incidents  all across the world mimicking similar ideas of savagery, heightening criminal activities. Nevertheless, the producers overtly claimed that the inspiration for this soap opera was drawn from real incidents that took place in various cities of the USA.

However, the opponents of this notion fail to concur as they feel that the audience must not be deprived of a particular genre. They assert that the audience, regardless of their age in contemporary times, have a mind of their own, and will not accept something that does not appeal to them. They rarely blur the boundaries between the reel and real life. Movies and tele-series prove to be a mere source of entertainment and do not coax anyone to resort to illegal acts showcasing blood and gore. 

Therefore, the suggestion that the cinematic industry promulgates violence and should be barred from presenting such content can be vehemently questioned and debunked; the audience is smart enough to differentiate between what is happening on screen and the impact of such undertakings in real life.
