Action movies with spectacular car chases are very popular with young people. It is often said that these sorts of movies lead to an increase in car accidents among young drivers as they try to copy what they have seen in the films.
Do you agree that such movies increase the amount of bad driving? What can be done to encourage young people to drive more safely?
Nowadays, various types of movies have been showing more activitily with car chases. This essay will discuss how this sort of films can lead to many car accidents for young people.
In most films, the main characters are always a famous international star who drives famous fast car and do not die in the movies. What is dangerous about this is that young people sometimes can not realize what is reality or just movies. As the result, they can believe that risks of bad driving are not serious like most movies. Moreover, young people tend to imitate common trends from movies, such as fashion, cars and even serious crimes. By reason of this, especially teenagers, an inquisitive person and interested in cars, can be spurred by films. A major of films caused car accidents is that films producing companies have been making more violence films for their commercial benefits which means they do not concern how their movies can be influential for young people.
To reduce this problem, it is important that the main characters must not be an hero in the movies, especially in crime circumstances, namely, they should be a role model and not make any sensed that can stimulate teenagers’ curiosity. What is more, it is necessary to appeal for young people how the bad driving in the movies can have dreadful consequences. That can warn enough teenagers not imitate bad driving. Last of all, the law has to become more strictly for youth when they against driving rules, because young people often receive a light sentences, because of their age. As well as, most people, such as parents and teachers, have responsibility to encourage teenagers to drive in safety.
In my view, many problems, drugs, alcohol and unlicensed driving, lead to an increase car accidents, but I believe that the effect of movies are obviously serious problems for young people that have to be solved.
