Nowadays, many films contain a lot of violence, such as fighting, shooting and killing. Many people believe that this is causing serious social problems. In this essay, I will discuss these problems and suggest some solutions.
There are several problems caused by violent films. Firstly, young people may copy the violent behaviour that they see in films. Children and teenagers often see the main characters in action films as heroes, so they may think that using violence to solve problems is normal and acceptable. As a result, they may fight with other children at school. Secondly, watching too much violence can make people less sensitive to the pain of other people. When people see violence in films many times, they may not feel shocked or sad when they see violence in real life. Thirdly, violent films can make some people, especially children, feel scared and have bad dreams.
There are some ways to reduce these problems. Firstly, the government should have a strict rating system for films, so that children cannot watch films with a lot of violence. Cinemas should check the age of customers before they buy tickets. Secondly, parents should control what their children watch on television and on the internet, and they should talk to their children about the difference between films and real life. Thirdly, film companies should reduce the amount of violence in their films and make more films with positive messages.
In conclusion, violent films can cause social problems such as violent behaviour among young people and less sensitivity to violence. To reduce these problems, governments, parents and film companies should work together to protect young people.
