Media violence is a significant cause of social violence

(hina pervaiz, lahore)

When we talk about the media violence then first of all it is necessary to understand media and its work or importance. Media is the large field or medium of communication and entertainment. In this fast growing society everyone wants to know about society, social afairs, situation of different countries, constructions, developments either it is negative or positive. So media is the only source through which we are informed about these circumstances of the world.

It is a way of guidance or misguidance:
This is depends on the people in which sense they can obtained the information and guide themselves this is the matter of their own that in which state every single mind can obtained the information. There are exist both the positive and negative effects of every state it depends on the people that how can they informed there selves positively or negatively.

Different Reasons through which media violence considered negative:
So media violence is another reality of this society and it is not neccesary that this violence is leaving the negative or bad effects on the society. The reason is sometimes violence use to understand some undesirable and undividable realistic points’ o the society, because some realities cannot be defined directly or in a simple and normal way. It is a big realty that “shows the world that which they want to look”. Similarly Media violence has both the positive and negative effects it depends on the people that how can they absorbed it, Because television is the big source of entertainment and information as well in this includes the both the good or bad information. Good or peaceful information and programs courage the people and our society and the bad and unmotivated information also guide the people and strong them to handled the undesirable situations of their lives. So we can say that information about both the situations is useful and important for us it depends upon us in what sense we use it and absorbed it in our minds.

Media Violence has both the good or bad effects:
Proven by given the example of insensible persons:
It is not necessary that media violence creates or leave the bad effects on the minds of society. Everything in this world has some good or some bad effects also or can say that some positive or negative effects also. There are some examples given below: we see that a child who watch the cartoon like “superman” and “bat man” is more hyper, fhgiter, sharp, strong and having an aggressive mind. And he is handled all his childhood or his matters of childhood with high potency. It means he gets the negative points from the cartoons or we can say that he reveal his self from the childhood. On the other hand a child who watches the cartoon like “mr. gooder” and “loonitoons” and others is less hyper and less aggressive, calm and solve his childhood affairs easily. It means that he gets the positive effects from that type of cartoons and handled the affairs or matters of his life innocently. So positive media convey the positive message in the minds of children and negative media convey the negative message in the childhood.

By given the example of sensible person:
In the case of elders the theme is slightly different from above. Television and media is become hectic for some people. Specially know a days when the circumstances of the country is very suffocated and every channel of media industry is full of such types of programs like news, talk shows, dramas etc. similarly the entertaining programs only becomes the passion of youth and some people are likes this but some dislikes such entertaining programs. Television also have some informative and some kind of destructive entertainment but unfortunately this destructive information or programs running only on the demands of the viewer. Mean of all the above discussion is that the media violence is less effective on the minds of elders, and youth. The reason is, a sensible person absorbed this destructive kind of information with the level of their mind and uses them to resolve such kinds of problems of his life and take it as a lesson. And cannot effect his life from the destruction but this destructive information make his life easy teach him how to move in a society. So the media violence is not the cause of social violence but it depends upon us that either we learn from it or lost our sense by the dominancy of its negative effects.

Exact cause of the negative effects of media violence:
So the media violence is not creating social violence it depends upon the society how he get the benefit from it and prevent his self from the bad effects of it. This is proven by the above discussion that one side the children who are senseless and get the negative effects of negative interactions and positive effects of positive interactions because they cannot know their field of betterment. On the other side elders and youth are considerd the sensible part of our society and they are extremely known about the betterment of their own and their society. And media violenc expect the sensible and best response from the viewers. For example for some people in our Muslim countries television non realistic and non Islamic dramas, TV shows, and programs are just for the sake of entertainment but for some other people they become hectic because they look at them in a way of differentiation or in a different way of their mind level.

Conclusion:
Hence prove that the media or the media violence is a cause of significant violence of the society but the mind setup of a society is having a great matter or value. If the mind setup positive then media violence also leave a positive and learning effects of the society if it is not then negativity and social violence become increases. So we cannot only blame the media industry it is slightly belong to us that in what way we solve or organized the issues of our life.
