“A lot of people believe that the amount of violence shown on TV and in the cinema affects the actions of our young people and therefore increases the amount of violence in our society today. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? What can be done to reduce violence in our society today?“

In
this
modern era, social media plays a vital role in society especially towards teenagers as it is easy to influence the younger generation through different platforms, e.g. television, cinema, etcetera. In my opinion, the drawbacks of telecasting violence on these platforms affect young people drastically. In the upcoming paragraphs, the detrimental ramifications of
this
issue will be explained and I would
also
like to share some measures that could help to minimize them.
To begin
with, during the teenage, teenagers are not quite mature to distinguish the pros and cons of things shown on
TV
or in the cinema because they prefer to follow the celebrities who admire them in spite of understanding that the moral values they are achieving from them are either good or bad for them.
For instance
, There was recent news about 18 years old teenager from Rajasthan, India, who committed 12 murders of his own class fellows not because of some personal issues but
nonetheless
happened as of getting influenced by his role model in the "Tooth Fairy" series which is quite popular in Netflix since 2 months.
However
,
programs
in particular
WWE, and Khatro K Khiladi, which show dangerous tasks done by a group of people make great impacts on young people because they are not aware of the fact that those are conducted by taking a lot of precautions.
On the other hand
, to diminish violence in the community, the film industry needs to take some steps.
For example
,
programs
or
movies
which involve an extreme level of violence must not be available on
TV
regularly and when
movies
are available in the cinema, there should be restrictions to avoid youth entry.
Moreover
, parents have to keep an eye on their children on a daily basis and what their offspring are watching on
TV
, social media or even online. Adding to it, governments can take a big step to stop these kinds of
programs
or
movies
to be telecast on
TV
.
To conclude
,
according to
the above-aforementioned argument. I believe that a huge impact is created through numerous platforms in form of
movies
, series and
programs
on teenagers
due to
which crime in public has
also
increased unexpectedly.
Therefore
, the government and film industry needs to consider the disadvantages and have to take some strict actions to reduce crime-related activities in the world.
