IELTS Band 6 Essay | Discussion | Media

Some individuals believe that the level of violence in movies should be controlled by the authorities on television and at the theatre, while counterparts think that it should not be controlled. While both schools of thought have their own advantages and disadvantages, I firmly support the idea that violent films should not be regulated.

There are several reasons why the government should not take control of the level of violence in films. First, violent films are another form of educating young childrens. This is because nowadays teenagers may encounter many situations related to violence. displaying violent scenes in moderation can educate them about those situations. Thus, childrens can independently prepare for real life scenarios they might encounter in the future. Second, some violent actions are considered to be one of the key factors that makes the movie become a commercial success. Therefore, it helps enhance audience’s engagement,thus boosting the film industry.

However, regulating the level of violence in films can be beneficial. First, some violent scenes may have a negative impact on psychology. For example, impressionable children have a tendency to imitate what they see, which can directly affect their behaviours and well-being. Moreover, excessive violence scenes could diminish content value. Adding too much graphic violence into plot development, character depth could decrease overall enjoyment of viewers.

In conclusion, despite the advantage of controlling the level of violent actions in movies, I strongly believe that displaying violent scenes in films has more benefits in both the education and the entertainment industry.
