▶ Your Answer :
A substantial number of people believe that
TV programs and movies don’t have to show that good people get advantages and
bad people get disadvantages. However, in my opinion, TV programs and movies should
show that good people are rewarded and bad people are punished. This is because
these media would strongly affect the overall society and people who watch
them, and they are required to promote constructive conduct.
To begin with, TV programs and movies
significantly impact the mind and the actions of the people who watch them. This
is mainly because these media are the method to acknowledge and understand the
modern society, and people can learn many aspects of the society through
watching them. Also, people often imitate some specific actions they watch on
the screen, whether these actions are good or not. Therefore, if TV programs
and movies show an unfair situation, people would wrongly understand the
genuine justice. As a result this will negatively impact the overall society. For
instance, an action movie, regarding successive bank robbery by main actors,
was released in 2012, and it quickly became a world-famous movie. However, the
movie played a negative role in increasing incidence of bank robbery worldwide,
and some people mimicked the crime patterns that the main actors did in the
movie. As this example demonstrates, TV programs and movies strongly have an
influence on the people who watch them.
On top of that, media such as TV programs
and movies should encourage positive behavior. Even though many people watch TV
programs and movies primarily for entertainment, viewers receive constant
messages about the role of humans in society and in the world. If good action
is viewed as being well compensated, then it will strengthen that idea in the
viewers. A recent research conducted by Seoul National University in 2012 has
shown that young people usually model their behavior based on what they see on
the screen. The research has also shown that children whose families only allow
them to watch wholesome programs also have a good behavior in school. By
showing kids and adolescents that there is a reward for proper conduct, they
are more likely to act out the expected behavior and become constructive
members of society. This implies that TV programs and movies have to show
positive and fair result every time.
To sum up, TV programs and movies have a strong
effect on the viewers and the overall society, and these media are required to promote
constructive behavior. In this regard, I strongly agree with the statement that
TV programs and movies have to show that good people are rewarded and bad
people are punished.
