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?
The incrementing incidence of murderous antisocial acts has provoked that the content depicting such activities should be prohibited in various forms of media. I completely fail to subscribe to this suggestion and shall elucidate my stand in the following paragraphs.
To start with, those advocating for this policy profess that the current upsurge in unlawful incidents showcasing brutality finds its inspiration in films and programs being presented on television. The violence in such mediums is portrayed in a highly glamorized form, and those partaking in such undertakings are depicted as performing heroic deeds. Consequently, the audience, especially the youngsters and those with perverted mindsets are likely to emulate such precedents. To corroborate, nearly fifteen percent of juveniles injuring themselves or their peers, in the USA, every year is attributed to WWE since a majority of youngsters mimic the acts of professional wrestlers, during quarrels, and hurt themselves in the process.
However, those skeptical are unconvinced by the rationale presented in support of this suggestion; as per them, criminal activities of brutal nature have plagued humans ever since they manifested on this planet, while the electronic entertainment tools appeared only about a century ago. Moreover, most of the presentations on all audio and visual mediums simply reflect what is happening in the surroundings by presenting it in the form of drama. Likewise, the audience, regardless of its age, is quite smart in differentiating between real and reel life, seldom blurs the boundaries between the two, and uses modern audio-visual content to simply entertain themselves instead of apeing it.
In hindsight, a few sporadic incidents of murderous felonies cannot represent the aspirations of the majority because portrayal for entertainment and real world events have no parallels or similarities. Thus, this view cannot be supported.
