VIOLENCE

The society has a specific taste for entertainment and media group provide  the same. It seems that the society gets what it wants. Just because the society gets, what it wants, does not mean that it gets what it needs.

The violence shown in the movies affects the individual negatively. The social evils, bloodshed, crimes, terrorism and mental abuse on the media destroy the innocent minds. Since 1950, the violence in movies are doubled. The word “rating creep” has lead to more violent and sexually explicit content. Just for the fame, the content shown is destroying the little minds, making them desensitized and brutalized. The repeated exposure of the violence, provide the new technique for the crimes hence promoting desensitization.

Impact Of Violence:

The media shows violence including, child maltreatment, sexual violence, intimate partner violence, suicide, youth violence or gang violence all destroying the new generation. This affect their decision making ability hence making them mentally weak and feeble. Instead of living in reality, they live in their own fictional world, making it their reality world. Now the public also love the movies with violence and which are easily available on any media network like Netflix etc. Movies like Kick Ass which include ultra violent actions, Joker, Gangs of New York, Once upon a time in Hollywood, Irishman, and series like Daredevil, Bad blood and especially Game of Thrones which include sexual violence and horrible disgusting death scenes which may disturb some viewers.

The violence promote aggressive and hatred behavior among the young ones. In recent, many cases were recorded in the higher school boys killing. Research Center have shown that by watching violent programs causes adverse affects on our brain that suppress aggressive behaviors making brain less active. The binge watching in children can cause overweight and watching the acts of violence can make them fearful and that the world is scary and something bad will happen to them. The aggression in teens had reduced overall activity in the area of brain that controls attention, emotions, and impulses. Long term viewing reduces higher brain activity and promoting lower region activity hence making us less intelligent. They target the region of the brain known as reptilian brain. The continuous viewing makes the frontal lobe region underdeveloped due to which individual losses the ability to control its behavior which results in uncontrollable anger and lack of self-discipline. Along with it the video games have shown a great impact in youth which has trigger out the psychological disorders like,

• ADHD(attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)
• Autism spectrum disorder
• Bipolar disorder
• Conduct disorder
• Schizophrenia
• Intermittent explosive disorder
• PTSD(post-traumatic stress disorder)

The research has shown that brain activity is so low when watching television while it is more active when you are sleeping. The reason why brain is not so active during watching is that because you don’t really have to do any thinking. While when you read anything, you usually started creating its images in your brain which increases the brain activity and makes you more creative.

The reality from the media is distorted, thus leading the viewers to fictional and unrealistic world. Hence anything that promotes, can be called propaganda. Media promote their mission through subliminal messages through songs, advertisement, movies, and series.

In a nutshell, what we call entertainment is really a propaganda for violence. Manufacturing industries don’t need to advertise their weapons, because that is done by our entertainment industry.

 The above video shows the impact of violence on children’s psychology. The experiment conducted by the American-Canadian psychologist, Albert Bandura, who explained children’s behavior after watching adults violence. This proves that children’s do what they learn from the adults.

Here it doesn’t mean that you can’t watch movies etc, what I mean to say is that age limit should be made for each content to avoid these problems so that it can not effect your brain negatively.
