Violence In Media
In recent years media use an increasing numbers of frames which contain violence content to attract viewers. Media violence increases a trend of crime which aroused the awareness of general public. Media violence is not the simple cause of teenagers’ violent, it also the main reason of social violence. However, every coin has two sides, some video games and movies which include violence can help some children to develop survival skills and ability to deal with violence. Even this knowledge may save their lives when they are threatened by others. So there is no doubt that media violence contains some benefits for us. This essay will argue that media violence leads to violent behavior and increase the community spread of violence. From my point of view, media violence has negative effects on youth. Like it or net, TV has taken over the role of passing down the traditional values to our younger generation. It has replaced the role formerly filled by elders. For a long time, elder members of community have passed on family stories, history, and cultural myth. However, children who cannot yet talk can absorb the values transmitted by TV. When the children have watched the movies or experienced games which contain violence, they may imitate heroes’ behavior. For example,
“Crows Zero” a film from Japan use a lot of film violence to describe two high school students in order to control the other party school students and beating
