INFLUENCE OF MEDIA VIOLENCE

Evidence is steadily accumulating that prolonged exposure to violent TV programming during childhood is associated with subsequent aggression. Not only TV programming but all such kinds of media which demonstrate violence affecting a range of individuals.

Research on violent television and films, video games, and music reveals unequivocal evidence that media violence increases the likelihood of aggressive and violent behaviour in both immediate and long-term contexts.

Violent media often portray violent acts and situations but rarely represent the consequences of violence.  it may also desensitise individuals to other violent images and emotional stimuli. This also increases aggression which may result in future conflicts.

 Media violence is a highly complex and nuanced issue. So, there are clearly concerns with regards to violent media content such as age-appropriateness, saturation, desensitization, and instilling fear or unease in viewers.

After all views, responses and research we can conclude that media violence leads to real world violence.
