Violence in the Media
Scientific research during the last decade has revealed the harmful affects that violent views can have on an individual 's formation of character. It is clear that most young children as well as and teenagers attend television programmes containing violence more often nowadays. To my mind, young people should not be exposed to violent scenes as this can contribute negatively in the shaping of their behavior.
To begin with, children attending violent scenes on television are more likely to express aggression in the future. This means they may not only fight with and injure other people but also commit serious criminal actions such as murder. Of course, most of them spend the rest of their life behind bars and when they finally regain their freedom tend to continue their illegal activities.
Morover, there is a possibility that children who used to watch violent views on TV in an early age will probably become afraid of society as they grow older. In other words, being conquered by the feeling that our world is full of criminals, they live with the fear of getting hurt or even killed. That is the reason why they usually avoid or hesitate socializing with other individuals and in some case form agoraphobia, a pcycological disorder related to the fear of coming into contact with other people.
On the other hand, there are some supperters of the idea that violence in movies and other television programmes does attract the viewers' attention and also that a movie without action ends up being boring and tiresome. To this I must answer that action is not necessarily related to violence as a film can be appealing without including violent scenes.
All things considered, I vehemently support that it is not appropriate for young chidren to watch television programmes which contain the element of violence. The spiritual Israeli author, David Grossman, once said: "Today, the data linking violence in the media to violence in society are superior to those linking cancer and tabacco.
