A pro / con essay : A BAN ON VIOLENCE IN MOVIES

Nowadays, violence is a big topic, reason for which I reflected on the pros and cons of a possible ban.

First of all, non-violent films are not only amusing but also successful.
Unfortunately, young people are often being influenced in a negative way by violent movies.
In the worst case, some people are invited to imitate a lot of things occurring in such films because otherwise they wouldn’t have thought of committing a crime.

In contrast, such a ban would also have disadvantages.

First, it is well known that horror films offer a welcome escape from everyday life. Some people who have a lot of stress appreciate that sort of thing.
Secondly, in most cases violence is being presented in a totally unrealistic way and can therefore not be copied.
The most important argument is that we certainly do not turn into a non-violent society just because violence is not allowed to be shown in movies.

Personally, I’m against an official ban of violence in movies because I enjoy the horror films. Although I have watched such films for years already I’m still a good girl and would never think of committing a crime myself.
