Since the 50's, the entertainment
industry has developed very fast. Technology has not stopped developing because
of higher demands from people over time. Due to these changes, there are many
problems surfacing in the entertainment industry. Some attribute the immoral
climate spreading out in society to entertainment products, which, they say,
need to be restricted or controlled.
I understand that entertainment
products reflect society and the need to go on following the demand from
people. Although, at the same time entertainment shouldn't be restricted or
controlled by government till the time is it not crossing the norms and values
of our society.
There are many differences in
looking at the effects of entertainment products on people. Over here what I am
trying to say is, , along with the positive effects these entertainment products
are also imparting negativity amongst society by making violent products more
popular in society; moreover, they become the fondness of people nowadays.
Because of this, crime , attack on sex and violence are becoming a popular
culture.
However, the effects of
entertainment products on people are visible enough now days and there have
been evidence that proves that there is an influence on people by entertainment
products. In other words, entertainment can be combined with education to make
a better society. Nevertheless, by the other solution the entertainment
industry will simultaneously develop with society. The truth about society will
be shown, and from this people can be aware of the value of life.
However, the entertainment
industry should develop by itself because viewers and listeners will evaluate
and eliminate. That means producers have to meet the demands of the people. On
the other hand , the solution can make the entertainment industry develop
better and better.
Violence in entertainment
Does violence in media affect
people? Violence is a common sight in media today whether it is seen on the
television, Internet, or heard on the radio. Violence is all around society. It
is what many people want to see. Some of these same people want to act out the
violence they are witnessing. Yes, I believe that violence in media affects
people. It affects how people think, act, and speak. Some of people’s actions
are more affected by others, but the fact is that it still affects people.
Violence affects how people think, how they react to certain situations, in a
violent manner, because of what they have seen or heard. If someone is watching
a television show and he or she sees an actor react violently in a certain
situation, then they might think and believe that a violent reaction is the way
to go. They may think that since it’s the TV, the person is acting.
Advantages and
disadvantage of entertainment
There are many advantages and disadvantages of the entertainment
industry but a few are:
If you are in a bad mood, you would obviously need someone to cheer you up and
if you are bored and you need entertainment, the TV provides you with different
activities and other things that entertain you.
And the disadvantage of the entertainment industry is that sometimes it gives
out so much of the information that it is sometimes inappropriate for children.
For example live TV shows include strong language.
I am of the opinion that the entertainment industry, or any form of creativity, should be without the shackles of any kind of control (e.g. censorship etc). Let content rule. If society wants more of something, howsoever "bad" you and I perceive it to be, let it float on the top. No one should be the judge of what the next person should or shouldn't watch.
