Blogspot 7: "Bang! Bang!"

I have this friend who is very violent like he`s imagining that he has this opponent and then he fires his hand. It`s very weird but I asked him why is he like that. Most of his actions are violent. He said that mostly of his time he watched violent films. He love those films where there are killers, bloods, and guns. No wonder why is he like that.

 I read an article entitled, "Violent movies can increase violent responses in real life" from the site research.vt.edu by Sally Harris. Stated that, The study showed that prolonged exposure to gratuitously violent films is can escalate hostile behavior in both men and women and  such behavior in unprovoked research participants. They determined that the effect is not short lived, but remains for some time after the viewing of the films. Their fears are only temporary upon watching violent movies. 

The research was trying to determine the effects of films with gratuitous violence on the general population. Sally Harris stated, "These films with gratuitous violence make people less civil, more willing to say things in a meeting or in a classroom that were inappropriate a few years ago." The studies show a callousness of world view. Person A says something bad to Person B and, because Person B has viewed gratuitous violence, he reacts more harshly than he would have reacted otherwise.  I think this tendency will increase because these films are teaching people it’s okay to break the rules of civility.

In another article I read entitled, "Movie violence are often paired with risky behaviors" from the site articles.latimes.com by Karen Kaplan. Stated that, Violence isn't the only problem with violent movies aimed at younger people because they also tend to glamorize risky activities that you might not want to encourage among kids.

Amy Bleakley said that, “We know some teenagers imitate what they see on-screen.” Mostly young 
 people follow what they see on adults cause they thought they`re right. That`s
 why guidance is a must nowadays. Parents must be more strict and responsible to their children so that they can live a good life.
