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?

Recently, extreme violence in

movies

and dramas is contributing to a growing number of social issues.

This

leads

teenagers

to copy the violent actions in the

movies

without noticing what is wrong. To deal with

this

problem,

teachers

and

parents

should be responsible for teaching them what is acceptable and what is not in the real world.

To begin

with,

teenagers

always look up to celebrities in the

movie

and they dream of themselves being just like key roles in the

movie

. For

this

reason, they are likely to follow their role models in the

movie

recklessly without noticing what they are exactly doing. If they have a chance to watch

movies

related to severe crime, they can easily imitate the convicts because they are too young to consider how their actions might cause severe problems.

For example

, a famous

film

“Sunny” was released in 2009 in Korea. The

film

was an incredible hit among

teenagers

, and copying key roles’ fashions and gestures was a trend in the number of

teenagers

.

However

, there was a scene in the

film

where some kids have drugs and do violent

behaviors

Change the spelling

behaviours

show examples

. And the

teenagers

who were motivated by the

film

also

did the same things and attacked their classmates. To prevent

this

severe problem,

parents

and

teachers

should teach

children

to recognize the difference between reality and fiction. Since

children

recognize situations in the

movie

as real, they have little ability to distinguish what is accepted in the real world.

Therefore

, adults (

parents

and

teachers

) are responsible for teaching

teenagers

which actions are not appropriate to follow and which are possible. By teaching them,

teenagers

will be mature enough not to follow any reckless

behaviors

Change the spelling

behaviours

show examples

in the films.

For example

, since 2012, elementary schools in Seoul have shown

children

a documentary about the victims attacked by

teenagers

who were imitating violent activities in the

film

. Through

this

program,

children

could learn not to copy any harmful activities in the

movies

.

As a result

,

teenagers

’ copycat crimes have been reduced by 30%. In conclusion, as the level of violence goes up in films,

teenagers

are more likely to do copycat crimes. To cope with

this

problem,

teachers

and

parents

should be in charge of teaching them what is appropriate in the real world.
