specially pronounced trend can be traced in the age group from 12 to 18 years, respectively. Films containing scenes of
violence
, cruelty to animals, and propaganda of criminal ideas have a strong influence on children of
this
 age. According to the Social University of London, children's susceptibility to

 fully confirms the fact that watching films negatively affects children. The solution to

 problem must be radical. A prime example is North Korea, where television is sovereign and films that are released are censored. According to statistics, the crime rate in

 and one of the reasons is the restriction in watching movies with violent scenes.

 in society, which began to have a dramatically negative impact on society in China, especially in the age group from 12 to 21 years old. In conclusion, it should be noted that social problems are largely caused by the propaganda of cruelty on TV screens, and especially children who find it difficult to distinguish between truth and fiction in
such
 films fall under
this
 influence.
