Sample Answer
I would argue that movies and television can indeed exert a negative influence on the behaviour of young people, although this impact is not universally detrimental. For one, the pervasive nature of violent or explicit content can desensitize impressionable minds, potentially normalizing aggressive or inappropriate behaviours. Moreover, when youth are bombarded with unrealistic portrayals of relationships and lifestyles, it could foster a sense of dissatisfaction or even unhealthy aspirations regarding their own lives.
However, it is essential to recognize that not all cinematic and televised content is inherently harmful. Educational programs or films that promote empathy and social awareness can contribute positively to young viewers. Therefore, rather than a blanket condemnation, a more nuanced perspective is warranted, emphasizing the role of parental guidance and critical media consumption.
