Opinion Essay - Martí Ramírez

TV programs that show violence increase violence in society? How does this affect teenagers?

Firstly, it’s true that since TV shows show more violence there have been cases of violence among teenagers. But in my opinion, this increase of violence in the society isn’t only caused for this because there are more factors that I think have increased violence in society, for example the video games.

Also, I think that the teenagers are used to watching violence (in movies, in video games, in series, on social networks…) and this isn’t a new. For this reason if a teenager, who is sufficiently aware of his actions, watched a violent program, would nothing should happen. In my opinion, if a person watch a violent program on TV and commit some barbarity, will not be consequence of this program, will be consequence of other things, like the values of this person.

In conclusion, I think that the violence of some people isn’t induced for the violence shown on television otherwise for other factors, starting with people’s values.
