people, especially
 children, others believe that they are a good source of entertainment. In my opinion, their influence on people is pernicious, and
hence
, they should be regulated. According to one view, the violent films, serials and online games are mere medium mediums of enjoyment and relaxation. It is believed that watching violent actions or playing aggressive videogames is psychologically helpful as they allow the viewer or user to release their suppressed violent emotions in a safe way.
On the contrary
, studies have shown that consistent exposure to foul language and bad conduct adversely influences people, and they begin to perceive violence as normal.
For example
, according to a recent study, children who regularly play aggressive video games, tend to be more aggressive and impulsive. Once violence becomes normalized in their psyche, they stop seeing it as a crime. Unfortunately,
