Do televiosion programs, movies, and video games influence young people behaviour?
A considerable number of people believe that the information from TV, films, not to mention video games, influence young people's behavior in a big extent. Others, on the other hand, hold tenaciously the idea that the aforemetioned factors do not make a significant impact on the way of thinking of youth. As far as I am concerned, the former holds merit. Thus, I take this view on account for the reasons scrutinized below.
My first and foremost reason in favor of holding such an assetion lies in the fact is that the level of violance is constantly growing the same as the quantity of an agressive content on TV. In my observation, more than a half of movies have a plot, which is connected with delinquency and different types of crimes. A lot of TV programs tell about real crimes, such as kidnapping, assault, and most notably murders. For a supporting example one needs to look no further than at TV Listings and analyze its content. In other words, media and cimenatograph, not to mention video games, are overwhelmed with various displays of violance. Therefore, day by day people get used to be surrounded by the criminality; they do not consider it to be something extraordinary anymore. As a consequence, the crime rate is constantly growing.
To add further credence to my assertion I wish to note that television news also makes a strong effect on the opinions of young people, their believes and views. In my view, a lot of mass-media make propaganda instead of reporting honestly about the actual facts. The degree of its gravity can be illustated by the situation in third world countries, where the level of corruption is very high and media world is usually controlled by political parties. Stated succinctly, the information which gets the brains of young people is distorted in the way which is beneficial to the certain political force. Thus, we can see the undecisiveness of young people when the question is about some global issues. The situation takes part because youth is influenced by the information provided my the mass media which is often not true. As a result there is a lot of controversion between what people see in actual life and what they are said from TV. Hence, the confusion is caused by the fact that TV is capable to influence greatly.
In a nutshell, I am a staunch advocate of the view that young people should try to limit the time spent in front of TV, watching TV-programms and playing video games because first off all it causes negative result
