Many people believe that the increase presence of violence in films and television these days is responsible for rising incident of violent crimes among youth society. They argue that government have a duty to control the media so as to reduce this phenomenon. Do you agree with this arguments

It is believed that the rising of juvenile delinquency is associated with the widespread violence

content

showing in the mass media;

therefore

, the

government

should control the amount of violence

behaviour

in those media.

However

, I partly agree with

this

argument as the increase of youth crimes is not only the responsibility of the mass media. It is true that the appearance of violence in the mass media may adversely impact on teenagers'

behaviour

.

This

is simply because teenagers are not mature enough to identify violent

behaviour

and understand potential consequences of those behaviours. They may commit a crime by imitating anti-social

behaviour

that they have learnt from criminal programs on television.

Accordingly

, the media

content

should be censored by the

government

strictly, which will contribute to reduce the possibility that teenagers are exposed to those negative behaviours.

However

, apart from

government

' controlling for media

content

, education

also

plays an important role in reducing youth criminals. By telling teenagers right from wrong, parents and educators are both responsible to develop the

next

generations to be upright and disciplined citizens.

In addition

, young people are less likely to commit a crime if they feel to be cared by families and in their schools. In

this

sense, preventing young people from crime cannot be achieved only by the

government

. To conclude, I concede that the

government

should control media

content

in order to reduce the youth

criminal

Suggestion

crime

rates

.

Accept space

.

Nevertheless

, I am convinced that young people should

also

be educated about what they can do or cannot do.
