These days, many people find that violence in media has a negative effect on the population. While others claim that it has no damaging effect on society. I believe that there are no proven connections between increasing illegal activities and violence in the media.
To begin
, I think human actions come from persons character and personality.
Also
, many may develop aggressive characters due to unhealthy family relationships.
For instance
, children who have been abused or sexual assault may become criminals when they grow up.
Although
, it is possible to treat their behaviour by showing love, acceptance and education.
Moreover
, playing video games could be very useful for those who had violent behaviours.
In other words
, fighting in video games may reduce violence in the community by allowing them to express their aggressiveness in an imaginary field
instead
 of the real world.
In addition
, some researches show that players who achieved upgrade levels had a strong satisfaction feeling. In my opinion, watching television or playing video games will not influence people to attend an illegal activity.
For instance
, if anyone attends harm to someone ,
that is
 due to their character and education not because of what they hear or see throughout the media. to conclude, I strongly believe that media has a great effect among people and it could be a safe outlet to express aggressiveness or reach achievements for some people.
