The government should control the amount of violence in films and on
television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society. To what extent do
you agree or disagree with this issue?
Violence appears more and more often in films and on television. Requests
are made that the government should take action because it leads to the rise of
violent crimes in society. However， some people think differently.
They say that instead of inducing people to commit a crime， violence on TV
helps people to release the stress put on them by the fast pace of the modern
society and thus reduces the chance for them to break the law. The employee who
was severely criticized by the boss at work may feel relieved when he returns
home and sees a strong man being punched in his face on TV.
Admittedly， that may be one little good effect of violence on screen， but
the side effect of it is much 123ious and should not be ignored. As was
mentioned in the beginning of the essay， violence on screen does result in more
crimes in real life. For one thing， teenagers are good at intimating and they
have a strong desire to release their extra 123rgy. One good example of this is
the notorious campus gun shot case in the US. The criminal， a university
student， who shot several of his teachers and fellow students， confessed that a
violent movie inspired him. Lastly， violence in films and television fills
people's mind with evil and hatred. We certainly should be shown the better side
of our society if we want to decrease the violent crimes.
To sum up， in order to have fewer violent crimes in society， violence on
screen should be controlled. (292)
