Nowadays, we are living in a time when many people may say that the level of
violence
 in television and movies  is extremely big and it might affect our social
life
.  Honestly, I do not think that it is a big problem and I do not really think we can change it for somehow.  It is true that people love

 and action, as we can see in our history we always did it. Back in the days in Rome empire there were the gladiator battles and people were

show
. Of course, we still have some problems with
violence
 and sometimes children might understand it wrong, but I strongly believe that it is a problem of parents to describe for their children what is wrong and what is bad.  From my point of view, we did a great  step from the middle ages, now we do not need to see how knights are killing each other in real
life
, we can see it on TV sitting on the sofa. I hardly believe that we did a great step on the way to humanism, of course we still have some disadvantages, but I hope we can improve it in the near future.
