blood violence and gore as entertainment

Blood, violence and gore as entertainment The Texas Chainsaw
massacre, Braineaters from outer space andBloodfeast are all films were
the title can speak for itself. The are films wereviolence, blood and gore
play an important role. It is obvious that someonehas to action, but who?
Since the dawn of man people have used violence for
entertainment. InRome they had the Colluseum, nowadays we have the
cinema. Violent filmsare being produced all the time, no one seems to
care. Even though therearen't many people who are harmed from these
films, there are a lot ofchildren who do. It is a question of separating
reality and fiction, and that is aproblem for many children. After the
Superman films in the 1980's, therewere a series of children jumping off
tall buildings, because they though theywere Superman. As you grow
older, this doesn't seem to be a problem anylonger, even though there
have been incidents were adults have started to killpeople after watching
a violent film. An example of this is the controversialfilm Natural Born
Killers. Over twenty people lost their lives because of thisfilm. In this film
murder and violence are justified, and it is these films thataffect children
the most. Computer violence is a quite new phenomenon. It was
introduced withthe launch of Wolfenstein in 1990. In "Wolfenstein" you
are trapped in amaze among an army of nazis. You'll have to kill your way
out. This kind ofviolence probably has a deeper influence on children,
because they do thekillings themselves. It is interactive violence. In
several countries the follow-up game, Doom, was banned. The software
company claimed that it didn'thave a negative affect on children, because
they killed mutants, not humans.But is cutting up a mutant with a
chainsaw good entertainment? There is no question about it, some
children and adults suffer seriousdamage from watching films and playing
computer games with extremeviolence. The government should take
immediate action and stop thedistribution of these films and computer
games. Parents must also try to gaincontrol over their children. That is
the only way we can stop thedevelopment.
