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?

#people #levels #violence #films
It is true that the increasing number of violence is shown regularly in the
movies
 today which cause many issues to society. There are several solutions to resolve these
problems
 and both government’s and parents’ responsibility are important. Too many violence images in
films
 will lead to negative effects on society.
Firstly
, children are more likely to be influenced by those
films
 because they are too young to distinguish right from wrong so that they might imitate the bad behaviours that showed in
films
.
For example
, the majority of children think the
people
 who fought or killed somebody else in the film is very cool and they may use the violence method to solve
problems
 when they are in trouble.
Consequently
, there will be a dramatically increasing in crime rates which make our society less safe.
Secondly
, lots of violent scenes enable
people
 to suffer from mental health
problems
. To be more specific,
people
 watching those scenes for a long time will cause
people
 to be confused between the virtual world and the real world, and they will even think that those violent methods are normal in reality.
However
, some measures could be taken to tackle these
problems
.
Firstly
, parents should spend more time observing and restricting their children from watching
such
 bad
movies
.
In addition
, they should pay more attention to children’s physical and mental health.
Secondly
, the government should introduce a law to limit the numbers of
this
 kind of
films
 to avoid safety
problems
.
Moreover
, the government should release more good
movies
 and encourage the public to watch those ones. In conclusion, violent
movies
 will cause the rising of social crime rates and bring safety issues.
However
, these issues could be addressed by the association of parents and authorities.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
