Some people think that the fictional violence portrayed on television is harmless entertainment. Others disagree and think that it encourages violent behavior. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

In the context of a modern world, the advent of advanced technology has facilitated virtually every aspect of lives with no exception regarding the field of media. Some

people

assume that humans are being bombarded with a plethora of virtual

violence

on

television

which exerts a potential detrimental influence while others insist on its negligible drawbacks. Personally, I am consummate in accord with the former viewpoint. And

this

essay will outline what is considered to be the analyses of the two aforementioned perspectives as well as the motives for my opinion. On the one hand, there is a multitude of reasons why

violence

illustrated on

television

do no harm to

people

. There is no gainsaying that

people

are endowed with the ability to develop their own consciousness, thereby differentiating right from wrong.

In other words

, it is believed that there is a least a driving force behind a person’s violent action. To cite an example, according to a survey, many teenagers committing juvenile delinquency

admit

Add the particle

to admit

show examples

that lack of education and their family breakdown laid the foundation for their crime, not what they see on

television

.

On the other hand

, it is apparent that

television

programs represent potential hazards to a special section of society –

children

. Consciousness is regarded as an instinct of human; notwithstanding that,

children

at

such

tender age have not reached their maturity.to discriminate between good and evil.

Consequently

, improper access to

violence

without parental guidance would be synonymous with severe damage to

children

’s cognitive development in a foreseeable future. To illustrate

this

, some researchers have it that

children

have a tendency to emulate their favourite actors who commit violent acts on film scenes inasmuch as those actions stimulate their curiosity.

As a result

,

children

convert virtual

violence

into reality, leading to a deterioration of ethical aspects. To recapitulate

this

, fictional

violence

undoubtedly does serious harm to

people

who are exposed to it.

People

may have the consciousness to resist their wrongdoings;

nevertheless

,

this

principle is not applied to

children

.
