Many People believe that the increased presence of violence in film and Television these days is responsible for the rising incidents of violent crime among youths in society. They argue that government have a duty to control the media so as to reduce this phenomenon. Do you agree with this argument?

Youth
violence
is a problem that many people blame on the media, which they believe should be supervised by the
government
. I disagree with
this
idea and believe that society itself should fix
this
problem. In today's world young people are influenced by many things, like television, films, and websites. It is
thus
unreasonable to accuse only movies of increasing
violence
.
In other words
, today's youth come across all human
behaviors

equally,
such
as
violence
and kindness and greed and generosity. They can witness these things in one news broadcast just as much as they can in an action movie.
Thus
, blaming the entertainment industry is not only unfair, but it is
also
wrong because it ignores the root cause of these
behaviors
manner of acting or controlling yourself
behaviours
. To suggest that the
government
should control
this
,
then
, is to avoid taking responsibility for ourselves. Indeed, a
government
should not act as parents to its citizens. It exists to ensure society can thrive, not to tell people what to do.
On the other hand
, parents can and must control what their children see online, in movies, or any other resource.
Consequently
, parents must decide whether they want their children to watch horror movies; it is not a

government
controls one sphere, it will be free to act in all areas of our lives because negative influences are everywhere and have always been so. Not only will
government

, but they will

likely increase it as people fight for their freedom. In conclusion,
violence
can be triggered in many ways, including, but not limited to media influence. The
government
should
therefore
not be allowed to restrict what

produce because they will

have to spread their control to all areas of society.
