Violence in the society is largely promoted by violence shown in media. To what extent do you agree?

It is a fact that TV shows and movies, influence the thoughts and attitudes of

people

regardless of their

age

.

However

, I do not agree with the notion that

violence

portrayed in

media

is the main reason for

violence

in society. There are several reasons

such

as abandonment at a young

age

,

lack

of

education

, unemployment, and

drug

abuse

that contribute to the crime. In my opinion,

abuse

and abandonment by parents in the formative years and the

lack

of proper

education

at a young

age

are the major reasons for

violence

. Young children thrive on the love and emotional security they receive from their parents or caregivers. It shapes their personalities. It is scientifically proven that the core character of an individual is formed from the womb up until the

age

of 5 years. Sadly, in many cases, children go through a lot of

abuse

and trauma during

this

age

which negatively impacts their thinking and outlook.

Lack

of

education

is another important cause. Many kids drop out of school even before they complete basic

education

. They try to find lucrative jobs and make a living. Unfortunately, they will soon realise that they are unable to make ends meet and, have a poor quality of life.

This

can lead to resentment and a whole lot of other destructive emotions and, different

people

vent these in different ways. Some resort to

violence

and crimes. When we compare the rates of crimes in society, it is clear that shootings and killings are predominant among the

drug

users who live on the streets. Most of the time, an act of

violence

is committed under the influence of a recreational

drug

.

Drug

abuse

alters a person's thinking abilities to a great extent.

This

forces them into acting without thinking through the matter at hand. Even small disagreements or arguments tend to flare up into verbal abuses and physical fights. Now, a lot of content shown in

media

is supportive of good behaviour and sticking to good morals.

For example

, in most movies, the protagonist is always selfless and has only good intentions. Even when they go through hardships, they tend to have a good conscience.

Also

, the final victory is always the

hero's

Change the noun form

heroes

hero

show examples

. The villain, who is bad-natured and evil, always ends up losing. So, if

people

have to get influenced by

media

, they should opt to adopt more selflessness and good conscience for themselves.

Hence

, it is my view,

there

Correct word choice

that there

show examples

are numerous deep-rooted causes

such

as emotional abandonment,

lack

of

education

, unemployment, and

drug

abuse

that contribute to

violence

than what is merely shown on television shows or movies. If

people

have the right emotional well being and

education

, regardless of what they are exposed to in the

media

, they will use their good judgement to not imitate and execute

violence

or demeaning acts in real life.
