Violence in the media promotes violence in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#violence #media #society
There has been a controversial issue about whether brutal
content
 results in violent behaviour. In
this
 essay, I will argue that having excessive exposure to violent media can lead to aggressive behaviour. One of the primary reasons is that
people
, especially children and adolescents, tend to imitate what they see on the screen. Most violent
content
 is very popular among young
people
 as it makes
people
 excited to watch. Due to the lack of proper intellectual development, children and teenagers have a tendency to copy what they perceive as interesting and attractive.
For example
, consider the film "Squid Game," which has become a worldwide phenomenon not only because of its story, but
also
 because of its brutal scenes, and many
people
 have begun to imitate what they have seen.
Hence
, the more aggressive films they watch, the more violently they behave.
Furthermore
, due to the popularity of aggressive movies and games,
people
 have started to assume it is normal to act violently towards others. Movies, in recent years, have become more aggressive as audiences’ tastes have
also
 developed over time and
people
 tend to only watch certain types of films that have violent
content
.
As a result
, some TV shows have influenced
people
 to become more aggressive and it is acceptable to deal with problems by using violence. In conclusion, violent
content
 is one of the main factors that contribute to aggressive behaviour as
people
 tend to imitate what they see on the screen, and it can lead to the assumption that violence is the best way to deal with problems.
