Television injects violence in children, and programs with violent scenes should be banned. Do you agree or disagree with the statement?
Nobody would dispute the fact that many programs on
television
include violent scenes, especially action and horror movies. I hold the view that they should not be allowed, Use synonyms
however
many people disagree with Linking Words
this
opinion. In Linking Words
this
essay, I will discuss both sides and give reasons for my opinion.
Linking Words
Firstly
, research suggests that people who watch violent programs and play violent computer games may worry more about their safety, which can lead to problems in society. Linking Words
For instance
, when people are more worried about their safety, they are more likely to react aggressively towards strangers. Linking Words
Secondly
, few people would contest that some children copy what they see on Linking Words
television
and in computer games. Use synonyms
Hence
, if they are watching and interacting with violence on a daily basis it is likely that they will copy Linking Words
this
type of behaviour. Linking Words
Finally
, there are more beneficial activities that children can participate in Linking Words
such
as playing a sport or reading a book.
Linking Words
However
, there are those who would argue that violence is not something we learn from Linking Words
television
and computer games. Use synonyms
For example
, nobody would contest the fact that there were murders before Linking Words
television
and videogames were invented. Use synonyms
In addition
, it is often claimed that children can not watch violent programs and play inappropriate videogames easily. Linking Words
For instance
, there are restrictions for some programs and games, and many parents do not allow their children to watch Linking Words
television
after a certain time.
To conclude, Use synonyms
although
there are some reasonable arguments against higher restrictions on violent videogames and programs for children, there can be no doubt that the potential disadvantage of children copying what they see and hear in these programs and games far outweigh the advantages of having free access to them. Linking Words
Furthermore
, current restrictions are ineffective and easy to ignore. Linking Words
Therefore
, governments and local institutions should do more to promote alternative activities and to engage young people in their local communities from an early age.Linking Words
