Some people believe that violence in the media, such as in television programs and films, directly results in violent behavior. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There has been an argument recently that brutality in the

in the real world. Personally, I disagree with
this
statement because it mostly depends on how strong someone is mentally and liking violent things does not necessarily mean you are brutal yourself.
Firstly
, violent

has been around us for many years and most likely for the rest of society’s existence.
However

is that probably everyone has seen an explicit film but no one has ever picked up a knife and

on a massacre after watching a violent movie because nobody would react like that unless they are already mentally ill in the first place.
For example

and not because of violent films.
Secondly
, you would be surprised that a lot of
people
enjoy brutal things not because they have a sort of sick pleasure but because these types of
media
feed their curiosity and provide genuine entertainment for them. The proof

is that there is a large

savage because as we all know violent or scary
media
provides a sense of suspense and fear, not violent for
people
which not many other types of

gives so
this
is the reason why there is
such
a big following for
this
genre.
For instance
, I am a devoted follower

gore films but I am still a scaredy cat and would not hurt an ant. In conclusion, I do not agree with the statement mentioned because violent

Furthermore
, most

just view violent

as a means of entertainment, not as something to replicate.
