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. What is your opinion?
Opinions diverge regarding the negative effects of
violence
in mass media
and video games on public welfare and safety. While
it is apparent that these mediums can have harmful influences on aggressive behaviour, I contend that there are other factors at play in this
issue.
There is no denying that people are exposed to a lot of violence
in entertainment. This
exposure might lead individuals to consider such
actions normal and potentially become desensitized to the extent of disconnecting from reality, even resorting to real-life violence
. For example
, in Vietnam, a teenage male addicted to a shooting game assaulted his grandmother, imitating the in-game character. Moreover
, excessive exposure to violent content can hinder a child's emotional and psychological development, affecting their ability to empathize or understand the consequences of their actions.
However
, other factors should be considered regarding the increase in aggressive behaviour. Firstly
, violent media
may not be the sole cause but rather one of several contributing factors along with
environment, personal experiences, and mental health issues. Research indicates that mentally unstable individuals or those who grew up in areas with high crime rates are more likely to commit violent actions. Secondly
, instead
of reducing violent media
, more stringent regulations can be enacted. Clearly, this
content is intended for adults who can distinguish between fiction and reality. Efforts should focus on preventing violence
from reaching immature audiences. Finally
, addressing this
issue by mitigating real-life violence
would be more prudent. Movies and video games largely depict societal norms, including violence
, and are not the primary cause of such
behaviour. In terms of preserving public safety and well-being, society should prioritize improving education and deterring crimes.
In conclusion, I believe that society should prioritize educating people and preventing aggressive acts rather than solely condemning the media
and video games.Submitted by anhpham.712688 on
