A lot of people believe that the amount of violence shown on TV and in the cinema affects the actions of our young people and therefore increases the amount of violence in our society today. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? What can be done to reduce the violence in our society today?

It is commonly believed that the violent

content

shown on TV and in the cinema, which are the two most favourite source of entertainment, affect the mindset and actions of our youth.

Therefore

, I agree with the fact that it is the major cause of

the amount

of violence around us.

Firstly

,

the society has witnessed a major change in the

content

shown on televisions and in the theatres over the past two decades.

This

can be easily exemplified with the recent stats which depict a change of 70 percent has been observed in the

content

of television shows during the

last

10 years, with a major drift in broadcasting from family-

rated to adult

. In my opinion, the shows broadcasted on our televisions and the movies released in the cinemas are no longer suitable to be watched together with the families as they mostly contain pornographic, violent and scenes related to crime, which

impacts the thinking of a young individual

for whom all

such

shows are easily accessible on the press of a button.

For instance

, now-a-days, the lyrics and the videos shot by the artists talk mainly about the drugs and weapons. The immature mindset of the children fails to differentiate between the fabricated

content

shown in these tracks and real life.

Hence

, it results in more violence as they try to

imitate

the artists by considering them as their idols. In a nutshell, the

content

shown on the TV and in the cinemas should undergo various levels of screening by the censor board.

Also

, parents, who play an

role in fostering a child and building his/her character, should filter the TV programmes for their children and teach their children about the difference between the reality and fantasy

This

can surely help each one of us to build a better society to live in
