Essay about violence It is known that the last 50 years violence amid the young has been growing. Some people connect this with the increased number of violent media. But the real cause is hidden in human character, not the media. On the contrary, violent media are the effect of an aggressive human nature and the processes that are taking place in human society. Here are some arguments below. Firstly, not all media aim to raise violence, and those who do are forbidden in most of civilized countries. For example “Mein Kampf”, the product of one of the darkest and the most violent minds in history, is prohibited all over the world, except some countries, such as the USA. In the United States the freedom of speech is considered as one of the main human rights, but if such words become an agitating, or an actual action, the punishment will be severe, according to the laws. For this reason violence in the media is only the tool to show or indicate something but not to make young people cruel and aggressive. Moreover, not the media makes human character, but the experience, environment, upbringing. There is a fat line between playing the game “Hitman” and actual crime, killing people. How would the young man become a criminal or even a killer, if he was raised in a good family, if all his life he was learning languages, for example? Some special events must happen in his life, and the game “Hitman” would not be the cause. To reiterate, it is more probable that the violent media can be produced by an aggressive people’s behavior. Young people commit crime because of their choices, some events, that take place in their lives, not because of some media with violence. If the society become more peaceful and sensible, the media pointing at the aggressiveness and other human vices will disappear.
