Some people think that sports involving violence, such as boxing and martial arts, should be banned from TV as well as from international sporting competitions. To what extent do you agree?

It is controversial whether some

sports

and global sporting competitions with the

use

of

violence

should be broadcast on TV or not. I partially agree with

this

, for they are more likely to promote offensive acts among young

people

, who often cannot tell the difference between right and wrong, regardless of the fact that violent

sports

encourage

people

to respect one another. On the one hand, the

use

of

violence

in some

sports

on TV has a potential negative effect on young viewers since it can deliver the wrong message that

violence

is acceptable in any circumstances.

In other words

, many children tend to associate physical strength with victories and supreme power, promoting to

use

of

violence

to solve various conflicts in life.

For instance

, a scientific report conducted in Japan in 2020 has proved that the rate of those who respond in an offensive manner is approximately 30% higher when they have a habit of seeing violent

sports

programs

than those who do not.

Furthermore

, they are often less patient in discussing problems with

others

to solve, believing that they are pointless as long as they possess good physical power to impress

people

.

Therefore

, the media should ban

such

violent

sports

programs

to encourage more logical and humane acts of individuals.

On the other hand

, it is not necessary to eliminate abusive

sports

programs

as athletes can be regarded as good role models to follow rules and respect their adversaries for fair play. Indeed, the audience is often impressed by their sophisticated techniques so they do not cause any serious harm or injuries to

others

.

For example

, even though boxers are breeding in their faces

while

they fight in a game, they are often not lethal and treated easily because they

use

violence

to demonstrate their advanced skills and not to hurt

others

.

In addition

to

such

sports

shows stressing the importance of obeying rules and manners, they are quite valuable resources, from which

people

are able to acquire self-defensive techniques in an emergency.

Consequently

, they are helpful in raising awareness of the importance of respecting

others

as well as

protecting their own life. In conclusion, I somewhat agree that abusive

sports

programs

should be prevented before children are encouraged to

use

violence

in their daily lives.

However

, they should be put more values from an educational perspective as

people

are able to learn the essential moralities and gain the ability of self-protection in unexpected situations.
