Many people believe that the high levels of violence in films today are causing serious social problems. What are these problems and how could they be reduced? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
The increasing amount of
violence
that is
shown regularly in films has been a cause of concern for some time. Such
films make violence
appear entertaining, exciting and even something to be copied. However
, it seems to be increasingly clear that this
development is causing problems in our society.
First
of all, those who enjoy such
films eventually stop associating the violence
with any real consequences. TheyAdd the comma(s)
, therefore,
therefore
lose their sense of reality and no longer take violence
seriously or have any sympathy with the victims. This
is bad for both individuals and for our whole society. Another worrying trend is that in these films the heroes are shown as people to be admired, even though they are very violent characters. This
leads impressionable people to believe that they can gain respect and admiration by copying this
aggressive behaviour, and so the levels of violence
increase, especially in major cities throughout the world.
What is needed to combat these problems is d
efinite action. The government should regulate the film industry on the one hand, and provide better education on the other. Producers must be prevented from showing meaningless Add an article
a
violence
as 'fun' in their films. Instead
, films could emphasise the tragic consequences of violent acts and this
would educate people, especially young people, to realise that violence
is real.
To conclude, I think that viewing violence
as entertainment may indeed cause serious social problems and that the only way to improve this
situation is by regulating the industry and educating the public about the real human suffering that such
violence
brings.Submitted by sreekanth2sreekanth on
