The Pro/Con Essay !!

Violence is such a big part in our society. Today you can see it also in many films. But would it be better when we ban on violence in movies?


Many professors talks about the violence theory, on what they mean “imitation”. For example a ten year old boy who watches such violent films every day, cannot really estimates these scenes which he finds “very cool and exciting”. So at least he also wants to be such a “fighter” but he can’t see the consequences, because he lost his feeling for reality. And I think this is what the professors mean, when they talk about the violence theory. Like fiction turns into cruel reality. I also don’t like such aggressive violent films and furthermore is so much violent not realistic anyway. And however, non violent films, I think, are successful too.

But in contrast to all these arguments are nevertheless many people against such a ban. Because also most films are so unrealistic that a normal person doesn’t copy it. For example “Rambo” (The film runs in many cinemas since last month). Another reason against such a ban is also that we don’t turn into a non-violent society just because we don’t show violence. Because violence is not only in films, you can see it also in your daily life, maybe on the street or in school.


So all in all it’s nevertheless a tender subject and I’m convinced that the world will not be better, despite without violent films.
