ESSAY 29

Films and computer games containing violence are popular. Some people say they have negative effect on society and should be banned. Other says they are just harmless relaxation. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Popular media might contain violence act as shown in many films and computer games. This issue becomes a hot debate as people seem to have different opinions about it; one looks at it as fun stuff while the other argues that it promotes violence. It is apparent that both sides clearly have merits to their argument and they are reasonable.

People are generally interested in things they know little about. Looking at the glimpse of violence offered in the display satisfies their curiosity and gives them knowledge on the violence itself. It can be understood that people need a certain maturity to act this way and not everyone can be considered as mature. Violence exists and the display of violence should only be regarded as a representation of things that exist and not as a support to the act itself.

On the other hand, some people believe that the display of violence has a connection to the rising numbers of dangerous actions in the society. They argue that people might imitate things that they see if such things are presented regularly. However, such opinion simply ignores other factors, such as poverty and the failing role of society as a community. Shifting the blame to the display of violence on TV and PC games will be a failure in understanding the root of the problem.

In conclusion, I believe that people need to be more mature and understand that displaying violence is not the same as advertising it. Banning games and movies, therefore, will simply be a wrong move based on a faulty reasoning.
