Essay on Monkey See, Monkey Do - 757 Words

Violence in media today is almost as common as a teenage girl knowing the name of the actor Channing Tatum. In America, we practically grow up on movies that display countless acts of violence against one another. This is a major way in which human society as a whole has changed from growing up in an environment with a lot of real life violence sporadically around the world, to having some sort of physical conflict involved in every movie or TV show.

On the flip side to this there is another view in which a certain level of violence is actually beneficial to the viewer. Author Gerard Jones in his article titled â€Å"Violent media is good for kids† exhibits this perspective of violence at a certain level actually teaching kids to be strong and unafraid. This view comes from a personal experience where the author was able to overcome things that held him back as a child such as being afraid, unsocial, and unconfident in himself. I see where someone could find that kind of urge to be self-confident after watching a movie such as The Incredible Hulk, but if that same movie leads a teenager to commit a crime, then it is not worth it. A kid can find some other way to conquer his fears such as finding friends or going to his or her parents for help on howShow MoreRelatedThe Weirdest Creature Of Nature Essay1079 Words   |  5 Pagesanimals.
