Some people believe that violence on television and in computer games has a damaging effect on the society. Others deny that these factors have any significant influence on people's behaviour. What is your opinion?

Visibility of

violence

in media is increasing each day. While some people opine that the television series and digital games full of

violence

have a detrimental impact on the community around us, others claim that there is hardly any danger to the society. I believe that

violence

in the media does influence a lot of people’s conduct and actions, especially children.

Firstly

, I think that many people have a tendency to idolize their favourite actors.

This

makes them blindly follow their acts and

behaviour

, which is shown on screen.

This

is majorly seen in the younger age group between 10-16 years because they demonstrate a strong inclination towards their on screen role models. If the popular celebrities are shown flaunting a gun in their hand or indulging in an action scene, their fans get influenced and consider it as an upbeat culture. Afterwards, similar characteristics are seen in their own

behaviour

and conduct.

Secondly

, playing computer games like PUBG, Minecraft, GTA is another hot potato. Since these games have made use of networking, which makes people sitting in different parts of the world connect with each other, so the youngsters remain engrossed in the game throughout. If people spend eighty percent of the day in playing

such

violent games, gets naturally imbibed in their

behaviour

.

However

, just as a coin has two sides, media

violence

is no exception. If the media shows violent scenes, many series make sure that the moral at the end is against violent activities.

Moreover

, the majority of people are aware of the pros and cons of media.

This

is why, they filter their thoughts based on what is right and what is wrong.

Finally

, their acts depend on their own thoughts and upbringing and not because of watching any violent scene in a television or playing a violent game. In a nutshell, I conclude saying that

violence

in the media does have a big impact on people’s

behaviour

. Undoubtedly, there are many factors which influence a person’s character, but because of the current electronic age, people spend maximum amount of their time using media. So, they do get influenced by what is shown in there.
