Computer games and films containing violence are popular today. Some people think that these are harmful to our society and the government should ban them. Others argue that such games and films are fine for entertainment.

Is there a link between

video

games, films and violence? An ever-increasing number of teens incline more to play harsh

video

games which are gaining popularity these days. It is widely argued that these types of films and games should be prohibited as they promote aggressiveness in the community as opposed to others who consider them as pastimes. Through the

first

lens, violent films and

video

games may incite teenagers to commit criminal offences. Some studies have shown that there is a positive correlation between watching films and physical aggression against another person. If adolescents or even adults are consistently exposed to a certain amount of aggressive behaviour or foul language, it will be normal for them to do

such

behaviour in their real life. Having been normalized, improper conduct would not be counted as a

crime

by individuals.

Hence

,

this

trend predisposes teens,

in particular

, to commit a

crime

and increases the

crime

rate in society.

On the other hand

, despite being the number one source of violence, computer games and films have been a form of escapism from the real world. Watching violent actions and playing aggressive

video

games is believed to help people release their stress and suppressed emotions. They not only become a hobby for people who are

bored but

Accept comma addition

bored, but

also

give winning and fighting spirit to players and audiences, which allow individuals to learn how to tackle violence in their future. To sum up,

although

exposure to violent computer games and movies have detrimental effects on children and escalates juvenile

crime

, in my opinion, limited access to these types of entertainments could improve our cognitive functions and ward off anxiety.
