Topic > Violent media - 1657

IntroductionThe violent influence of the media on the attitudes and behaviors of young people has been a hot topic of debate for decades. Critics say violence on television, in movies and video games desensitizes children to the real effects violence has on society and themselves. The problem is that teenagers tend to act on behavior seen in the television programs they watch and the video games they play every day. They shoot someone in a video game and can't understand that it's morally wrong to kill someone but influencing them every day doesn't affect them and they will grow up and become savage. This topic is debated due to the profound effect violence can have on the future of society. The introduction of televised violence has led many to theorize that chronic exposure to the act will desensitize some adolescents and cause them to develop more aggressive characteristics.

Current research has confirmed the link between violence presented through a variety of media and aggressive behavior.

Objective Exposure to violence in the media, both online and offline, is significantly associated with a greater likelihood of concurrently reporting severely violent behavior. Compare… half of the article… even after decades of extensive research, the findings are still weak as there are intense arguments on both sides trying to prove that violence in the media is one of the factors contributing to behavior violent in adolescents or not. The reason is that violence is a crucial component of the lives of many individuals. In youth culture it is a major factor that results in an increased rate of criminal activity as society is manipulated by the images they see, resulting in them imitating the portrayals shown by the media. We also hope that our research can go some way to creating awareness among adolescents about the dangerous effects of media violence in their daily lives. The government should also take action to control the media content shown in the media so that it is not easily exposed to the minds of young people and teenagers..
