films and computer games which contain violance are popular.Some people believe that they have a negative effect on soceity and so should be banned. Do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, a debate regarding the effects of violent

entertainment

media

has emerged.

In particular

, some

people

argue that these

media

can have detrimental consequences on communities and should be forbidden. In my opinion, it is not true and there is no proven correlation between crimes and these means of

entertainment

. In

this

essay, a brief explanation of the matter will be given. As stated above, some

people

believe that violent

media

could have negative effects. First and foremost,

games

and movies can influence

people

, especially the younger ones. Given

this

, youngsters could be inspired to replicate what they see on TV or the actions of characters with which they play, and if these actions are violent ones, they will start reproducing criminal actions.

For instance

, there have been some cases of violent felonies committed by someone who enjoyed playing these kinds of video

games

and some aspects of the crimes committed, reflected what they did

while

playing.

For

this

reason, there is a growing amount of population that advocates for a ban on violence from

entertainment

.

On the other hand

, there is no evidence that crime in society is spiking

due to

games

and movies. In fact, the reason for the stated correlation with crimes is probably because these

media

are now so spread among the population that someone who enjoys them is already a criminal or would have committed a crime anyway.

In addition

, playing these

games

could be beneficial, because many

people

can release their frustration through them,

such

as is done with combat sports.

For instance

, some research suggests that consuming violent

entertainment

products decreases the probability of committing a crime. In conclusion, I strongly disagree with the possible prohibition of violence in

entertainment

. As noted previously, the possible negative effects, that are cited by the ones in favour of a ban, are either spurious correlations or exaggerations by the

people

who argue in favour of prohibition. Meanwhile, the benefits are backed by scientific evidence and regarding possible influences of

media

on children, if a child is more influenced by what he sees through a computer than what parents tell him, the issue is an educational one.
