These days, we are seeing an increasing amount of violence on television and this is having negative impact on children's behaviour. Do you agree or disagree?

There has been an increase in

violence

featured in the mass media in recent times. It is argued by some people that

this

trend has detrimental effects on the way young ones behave. I agreed with

this

view, as

violence

promotes bullying and it desensitizes children's view of

crime

.

First

of all, the rampart

violence

on the television encourages youngsters to bully others. Violent movies promote the belief that a person needs to out power other people with force in order to success.

For example

, action movies

such

as Delta Force make children think that they can threaten or even kill their colleagues with guns.

As a result

, some youngsters imitate what they see on the screen and become bullies and a threat in schools.

Furthermore

, many young ones are attracted to

crime

because of the

violence

they watch on the mass media.

This

occurs owing to the fact that the major characters in the violent movies they watch, play the role of a criminal, which makes them love those roles.

For instance

, a recent Child Psychological report in the United Kingdom linked the surge in juvenile

shop lifting

the act of stealing goods that are on display in a store

shoplifting

and knife attacks to the

violence

featured on the television.

Therefore

, if there have been a reduction in the

violence

on the television, there would have been a significant decline in juvenile

crime

in many societies. In conclusion, while there has been a rise in

violence

shown in the mass media,

this

has resulted in deleterious effects on children's behaviour, as many young ones are motivated to bully others and view

crime

as normal today. Efforts geared toward educating parents about

this

harmful consequence should be promoted.
