Violence in films and computer games There has been an increasing trend of appearing violence in the entertainment materials, such as movies, video-games and literature. Some deny any pernicious effect for society, believing that it is just innocuous amusement. However, I agree with those who say that the government should keep age restrictions and assign the age categories to films and books . In this essay I will examine both sides and substantiate my opinion. Regarding those who are not worried by violence spreading in the form of entertainment there are many reasons. The primary reason is that watching is a far cry from action. Moreover, they claim that observation violent acts throug media can shape determination to deny and struggle with any manifestation of aggression. Additionally, supporters of such freedom mention that while there is demand for this kind of topics, it should be met with supply. In the end, we are aggressive species, in order to create a coherent picture of our world, we can not miss this part of story. Nevertheless, as far as youth is concerned, I firmly believe that this point of view is poorly grounded. From the beginning of the time people avoid to expose youngest members of society to adult dangers, risks and pressure. Child's mentality is too fragile to go through severe treatments, hence neglecting this fact can lead to serious personal distortions and negative subsequences for community as a whole. The Berkley University published a study that shows, that even single watching by adult participants a scene of violence leads to short-term decreasing ability to feel empathy, readiness to help other participants of the experiment. In conclusion, my strong belief is that age restrictions are necessary for any content related with violence. Nonetheless, full ban is hardly acceptable, as soon as for adult auditory this topic can be a subject of serious contemplation and investigation.
