Violence in Film and TV

Does the violence in films and on TV contribute to violence in society?

hi I dont think so. Media affects the society. but the things like romance , fashion , dreams are directly absobed into the soceity. but i guess voilance does not affect that much. ut kids tend to get affected by the wars/guns on cartoon network i guess not mature adults

as for the question dont u think what all is depicted in films is a reflection of all that is happening in the society Did we have such films during WW-I and WW-II to give the world ideas on voilence? It is the hunger for senseless power in man that gives rise to violence films or no films

amuiscute said...
Its just the reciprocal of what the question is!

not at all...gone are the days that real life incidents are supported by reel life...maybe a small fraction of rural teens to the extent of copying the looks and all...otherwise..we are intoa diff time....lot of awareness in today's time..gone is the era of make belief and imaginations...real life has a lot of drama on the contrary

Obviously not.. You never see that hilarious voilence in real life where the hero has killed each and every associate of the villain maybe with a dozen bullets in his own body but still lives to show a smiling face at The End. The Character might have some impact on some blind followers but sheer voilence definitely not.

Interesting question: I respond with another question...By extension, is reading the mahabharat the cause of violence as well? (Mahabharat is pretty graphic in the description of violence - beheading, dismembering, tearing someone's chest apart to drink his blood... So on, so forth) Ditto for Ramayana, and other religious texts (even the Bible). Violence is a part of human nature. Always been there, always will be. TV or no TV. However, TV does influence children. So, parents should be careful about what they let their kids watch.

media definately plays a big role in may society...i guess in movies n stuff the ideas they show contributes to the already exsisting criminal mind!

If its adults who are viewing, then the answer is NO. But the kids do get influenced to some extent. In my opinion, the Cartoon channels are the worst offenders. They show blood and gore, revenge, violence, etc all in the garb or animated cartoons. For kids, these animated figures maybe no different from 'live' charecters and they replicate the same on their siblings or schoolmates

Sometimes . There have been instances of real life shootings and murders following the same shown in a movie or television show or a book . twisted plots , how bombs are made , kidnappings etc. There are always kooks out there who mimic and fantasize on the incidences they see or read about . Hey Shravan , Good topics you are bringing up. I am enjoying this . thanks

Hi Shrawan,

Obviously not.. You never see that hilarious voilence in real life where the hero has not each and evrey associate maybe with a dozen bullets in his own body but still lives to show a smiling face at The End. The Character might have some impact on some blind followers but sheer voilence definitely not.
