Films and computer games containing violence are popular. Some people say they have negative effect on society and should be banned. Others say they are just harmless relaxation. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is sometimes thought that
movies
and computer
games
containing violence ought to be banned as they are harmful to society, but other people
suggest that the negative effect is neglectable. In my opinion, I agree that entertainment with violent content is acceptable and should be retained despite the drawbacks it may bring to society.
On one hand, some people
believe that the outbreak of violent crime rate and the high popularity of bloody films and computer
games
are correlated. Nowadays, the sophisticated visual effects in computer
games
are close to reality, and virtual reality game, for instance
, gives players an extraordinary immersive experience. Some think players, especially youngsters, will mix up the virtual world and reality after a long playtime and, in the long run, would become violent. Fans love to mimic movie stars, some people
are afraid it will include violent behaviour in films. Therefore
, some suggest that movies
and computer
games
with these elements should be banned.
On the other hand
, some people
think the freedom of creation should be persisted, and I agree. There are a lot of great movies
with aggressive killing scenes that are considered great pieces of art. Some people
claimed that playing computer
games
is the best way to release stress from busy life. Recent research shows that 90% of violent criminals are not big fans of violent movies
or hardcore gamers. In other words
, people
who enjoy entertainment with violent content will not become violent. Moreover
, in numerous countries, there are laws to protect children from violent content well.
In conclusion, while
people
may vary in their opinions, I think that there are certain justifications for the former statement, albeit I am of the opinion that violent movies
and computer
games
should be banned. I recommend that especially immature people
should not be interested in these kinds of films and games
