Computer games and films containing violence are popular today. Some people think that these are harmful for our society and the government should ban them. Other argue that such games and films are fine for entertainment. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Nowadays, violent behaviours are prevalent in video

games

and

movies

.

While

a group of individuals presents the view that engaging in

such

entertainment is a great form of leisure, I strongly agree with those who believe that since these

games

and

movies

have several adverse effects on our community, they should be restricted by the

government

. On the one hand, some people justifiably argue that

such

games

and

films

can lead to an increase in the crime rate. Individuals, especially youngsters, can be easily influenced by

such

films

and

games

;

therefore

, they are very likely to mimic the characters of

movies

and

games

and turn to criminal offences from an early age, without being aware of the consequences of their actions. In my opinion, encouraging aggressive behaviour, these

movies

definitely should be banned by the

government

. If the governments enforce new laws, it not only has positive effects on crime rate but

also

helps us create a compassionate society.

On the other hand

, another group claims that participating in these activities can be ideal for those who are in search of a cheap way to escape the fast pace of life

games

compared with outdoor entertainment.

However

, I do not find

this

argument as convincing as it appears to be based on inaccurate information.

According to

recent research findings, producing action

movies

/

games

is nearly twice as expensive as other genres. Since

this

money is usually provided by the

government

and taxes, it can be a complete waste of resources, resulting in a deficit budget, that should be avoided. Were people aware, they would think twice before making the decision to engage in them.

To conclude

, in my view, video

games

and

films

that include violent behaviour should be limited by the

government

because they can reduce the crime rate, which can assist in making our community a better place to live.

Moreover

, manufacturing these

games

and

films

is not logical because they waste resources.
