Some people believe that violence on television and in computer games has a damaging effect on society. Others deny that these have any significant influence on people's behaviour. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

These days, the proliferation of the

industry, including video

games

and television, and its violent-related content have sparked heated debates.

While

Linking Words

some critics argue that violent content has negative impacts on the community, others disagree with

such

Linking Words

a notion.

This

Linking Words

essay will examine both sides of the discussion and provide a conclusion. Advocates of

this

Linking Words

idea argue that exposure to

violence

through television and video

games

Use synonyms

has the detrimental effect of desensitizing young people to

violence

Use synonyms

.

For example

, they may adopt aggressive and violent behaviours from the shows they watch or the

games

Use synonyms

they play and consider them a normal part of life.

As a result

Linking Words

,

this

Linking Words

can lead to an increase in the rate of domestic

violence

and violent crimes,

such

as armed robbery and homicide.

Nevertheless

Linking Words

, others argue that the impact

media

violence

Use synonyms

has had on people’s behaviour is insignificant.

This

Linking Words

is because shows and video

games

only serve as means of entertainment.

Thus

Linking Words

, it is common sense that game players and TV audiences are aware that any activity shown is for demonstration purposes only and would have minimal impact on how they behave. If scenes on television could have had

such

Linking Words

great impacts, other programs with educational values

such

Linking Words

as science, history, and astronomy must have had the same effect on society. In fact, the number of people who work as scientists, archaeologists, and astronomers is still relatively small compared to other professions. In my opinion, even though

media

Use synonyms

consumers can distinguish between real and virtual at a certain level, excessive exposure to violent behaviours may affect their judgment and desensitize them to

violence

Use synonyms

.

This

Linking Words

is because, in order to attract more viewers, show producers often make

violence

Use synonyms

as realistic as possible and include as much of

this

Linking Words

element as possible.

Consequently

Linking Words

, people may be more likely to watch these shows and engage in these

games

Use synonyms

instead

Linking Words

of other types of available programs on TV, which increases their exposure to

violence

Use synonyms

in the

media

Use synonyms

. In conclusion,

although

Linking Words

violent scenes presented in the

media

are for entertainment purposes only and viewers are aware of

this

Linking Words

, I contend that its overabundant consumption may obscure the ability to distinguish and normalize

violence

for the young, which may have negative consequences for society.
