Violence in the Media: The Reinforcement of Desensitization in the Youths of India
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Media is of two types- one is the means of communication and information and the other is the means of entertainment. Here I am going to discuss about the other one which is the means of entertainment. Now let’s talk about violence. What is violence? Violence is an expression of aggression. Oxford dictionary defines violence as “behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.” Now I will talk about ‘violence in media’; media that I said before is the means of entertainment. If the source of entertainment becomes the tutor of the expression of aggression then what can we expect from our youth? We know that media has a great impact on our mind though it is any kind of media, social media, television, music, video games, or movies. Unfortunately, all these categories of media carry violence more than entertainment these days.
