As I was doing research for my critical research I came across an interesting article the showed to which extent Violent films have an effect on how people react and behave. One of the most extensive studies ever done on the subject of violence and TV were released in 2003. From the beginning of my research I had a set of point of view, I believed that violence within Films/TV will have a negative effect on the person. Within the research of 2003 329 subjects over the age of 15 were followed and examined. It came to a conclusion that those children exposed to violent TV are much more likely to commit crime and get influenced by it future in life. The research also shows that boys that were exposed to violet TV are more likely to abuse their wives in future, therefore its fair to say to a reasonable extent that Violent films & TV influence the act of crime among people. The study states and proves that after tracking 700 males and female youths over a 17 year period showed a very strong relationship between violent TV & crime influence & commitment. The study showed that their is a very strong link within violence on TV/Films & the influence of it on people especially teenagers. It is a fact that children typically witness 32,000 murders and 40,000 attempted murders on the TV which to some extent becomes something part of their everyday life which is likely to conclude in being violent behavior later in life.
Aftre the tragic school incident at the Columbine High School in 1999 many people quickly jumped to conclusions and blamed the Media for the cause of it.
In 1992 a grope of people did a research on the Tv Guide-they found 1,846 acts of violence.
