Violence On Television


            In recent years there has been a major increase in the amount of violence aired on television and in films. For some movies like "Charlie's Angels" and "Bad Boys", the entire story involves violence and if the violent scenes were removed there wouldn't be many scenes left. .
             There has been a lot of criticism against violence in television especially in chldrens cartoons recently. Many psychologists believe that violent movies cause kids to become violent. There have been a number of attempts to show a direct relation between violence and criminal activity. Many of these are biased as the criminals who are interviewed after being sentenced are usually more than happy to place the blame of their activities on some other circumstances. .
             I personally believe that the popularity of these movies is due the natural interest of human beings to have some form of violence in their lives. In our highly evolved society, most forms of violence are shunned, except for "American football" and "action movies". Both may seem mindless to some individuals, but in general, they are very popular among most men and women.
             In some very rare cases certain individuals tend to become violent after viewing this form of visual media but this may not necessarily be due to the television and could just be a natural trait of the person. Millions of people watch violent television every day, if this had a direct impact on a person we would be seeing a lot more violence then we are seeing today. .
             A more realistic explanation for the correlation between criminals and violent television would be that the violent scenes just bring out the violent traits in some people, who are naturally violent.
