T.V. and in movies. Take Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom for example, in one scene Mola Ram took the heart out of a man's chest while the victim was watching. This movie was basically for sixth graders, rated PG-13, and it's this gruesome? It seems a bit irrational to assume that lack of restrictions for media content will turn someone's kid into a vicious puppy killer overnight, but over time they grow up watching such violent things and they become immune to the whole wrongness of unnecessary violence. The reason T.V. shows and movies try to pass with a general audience rating is so that they have a larger target market, and therefore more views and sales. It's disturbing to think that young children are being exposed to such violence at an early age simply because someone wants to make money.
I agree with you that T.V. shows and movies are doing this to get a larger target market. This however doesn't change anything on the fact that this movies aren't got for kids or young teenagers. The obligation is now by the government to control this things better.
ReplyDeleteTe media is encouraging violence but particularly in males. By making females look like object te encourage males to abuse them. Also the media teaches boys to supress their emotions leading them to have violent out bursts
