OPINION ESSAY

Nowadays, more and more people argue about what the consequences of watching violence on television might be and how they might affect people, specially teenagers.

It is true that violence has to do with a lot of factors. However, television can be one of the main ones. Teens, who are still in their development stage, can be influenced by the things they see on television or other media. Watching that type violence on television may convince them that it is a normal behavior that they can take as a reference.

Furthermore, in my opinion, watching violence on television can make teenagers believe it is a good way to solve problems. They might become immune to the horror of violence, meaning that they would see it as a normal thing, if people were acting that way.

In conclusion, I think teenagers would be more pacific if they saw less violence in television due to their likeliness of being influenced by the media.
