how do movies or television influence people’s behavior? use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
do movies and television affect our behavior? a special concern is whether movies and television make children and society more violent. i believe that movies and television do influence our behavior, both for the better and for the worse.
movies do make people more violent. the more we see violent acts on television, the less sensitive we become to them. eventually violence doesn’t seem wrong .we may even commit violent acts ourselves. this is especially true because we don’t always realize that violence has consequences. actors can be killed and come back for another movie. sometimes we confuse that with reality. we forget that killing someone is permanent.
movies and television also influence our behavior because they make us less active. looking at films is a passive activity. if we watch too much, we become unhealthy, both mentally and physically. we stop using our own imagination when we see things acted out for us. mental laziness becomes physical laziness; we’d rather watch sports on to than play sports ourselves. we’d rather visit with the characters on “seinfeld” or “friends” than go chat with our own neighbors. imaginary people have exciting lives. is it any wonder that some people would rather live a fantasy life than their own?
of course, watching movies and television can also be good for us. it can give us a broader window on the world. for example, seeing movies can expose us to people of different races and cultures. we can then overcome some prejudices more easily. recently there have been more handicapped people in films, and this also helps reduce prejudice.
