. What is your opinion? Opinions are divided on whether
violence
 in
media
 has a positive or a negative
influence
 on
society
. In my opinion, violent
behaviour
 on
media
 is responsible for the serious problems in the community, since the crime rate is increasing day by day, as well as, in the coming generations,
people
 are becoming indifferent towards each other.
First

rapidly rising crimes ubiquitously.
This
 is mainly happening because

. As

Moreover
, owing to the emerging violent nature of
people
 in the community, cold and indifferent

 is flourishing.
For instance
, in the past,
people
 did care for each other, neighbours shared sorrows and sufferings of others, the young generation took care of the elderly.
However
, nowadays, everyone has adopted selfish and arrogant

Thus
,

influence
 of
violence
 on

. In conclusion, I believe that the
violence
 on
media
 is causing serious repercussions on
society
 in terms of exponentially rising crimes and rapidly increasing selfishness everywhere in the community.
Therefore
, it can be predicted that the negative
influence
 of
violence
 on
media
 will keep on escalating in the future.
