It is irrefutable that the films and TV programmes today are filled with
violence
 and
as a result
violence
 is increasing in our
societies
Suggestion
society
. I agree that censoring
such
 programmes and films, some amount of
violence
 can be decreased. In the following paragraphs, I shall put
forth
Suggestion
Forth
 my arguments to support my views. Reducing the amount of
violence
 on TV and in the cinema would certainly be a good start to decrease
violence
 among people. It is a well known fact that the media possess a lot of power to influence people. So, those in the media must be judicious about delivering news in a balanced manner that brings the story to the consumer without showing too much
violence
. Journalism is a profession like any other and certain standards of quality and
professionalism
Suggestion
Professionalism
 needs to be maintained. There are many harmful effects of
such
 programmes on the individuals and society. The most disturbing effect is on the children and youth. Media
violence
 can stimulate fear in some children as it frightens them, making the effects long lasting.
This
 can become traumatic in our children as they see it more and more. Children are starting to grow and are shaping their personality, values and beliefs. They can become aggressive or they can lose a sense of reality and fiction of what they are seeing.
Moreover
, young people imitate what they see and it is logical that they see glamour in what they do when they commit
violence
.
Consequently
, the society suffers as the streets are full of
violence
.
Finally
, too much portrayal of these
also
 leads to immunity among the people and they are not affected by the disasters any more. Disasters like Tsunami and earthquakes don’t make people shed a tear anymore. To put it in a nutshell, I pen down, saying that, having a check on the
violence
 in TV programmes and films, would certainly be a good start to decrease the
violence
 and crime in society
