Theme № Short information on critical review

5. I feel so sorry for the stereotyped people who stands for their conclusions that media violence have bad influences on people (especially children). Are there fully proven answers that violence on TV or video games encourages people to act to it? Well, I haven't seen them.
Is it truly impossible to teach our children how to act to several information from the media? I don't think so. If they can learn that the monsters under their bed is nothing to scare about, why couldn't they learn that horror on TV is nothing to scare about too? I think it is better for them to teach them how to act to several media than just keeping it away from them. We want our children be able to stand tall in real life and not changing them into paranoiac don't we? So you can consider the violent media as a good training for kids to not become scared of it. If there are no complications letting the kids watching violence or pornography on TV then the situation is ok. Or don't we want them to act like adults?

6. Media really have great influences on the audience, no matter how old you are! Take a look at the recent movies. What the characters said what they acted and what things happened in the plots all would deeply impress the audience a lot. If someone just says that the effects of the movies upon the audience are nothing but entertainment, then, he/she will make terrible mistakes.
Try to imagine that children watch some horror films all day long. What the pure minds will be tortured? Assume that they do not know the ghosts in the films are man-made; they may think that the ghost will appear around them and do harm to them. It's not a joke! Children will easily believe what they see. So, I don't like the TV programs about ghost present on TV every day!
