ROMAN ENTERTAINMENT - GOTHIC THEATRE

DISCUSSION: 

Repeated exposure to violent entertainment, whether through ancient Rome or to playing video games in the present, to watching UFC on the weekends. This outcome potentially has a risk and could numb individuals to the consequences of real-life aggression and let them think it's okay to act on them. Violence has become a form of entertainment that may lead to society viewing it as acceptable or even admirable, eroding ethical boundaries, and cultural boundaries. Why do we as humans resort to violence in general? Are we that bored? What causes this infliction of pain on others.

 

 

By embedding violence since Earth was born basically, societies create a self-perpetuating cycle where future generations continue to see violence as a normative part of life or entertainment. Its almost our instinct you could say. In the modern context, there is concern that children exposed to violent video games might develop a distorted understanding of conflict resolution, empathy, and social interaction, examples of negative outcomes would be school shootings. 

  

Combating violence related to media and addressing the rise in school shootings requires an approach that includes education, regulation, mental health support, and community involvement. This is one way we can teach people and for our future generations that violence is not the answer, whether it's for plain entertainment or a response. I think banning anything regarding violence like tightening gun laws everywhere, also by addressing these issues from multiple angles, it is possible to reduce the impact of violence and promote safer environments for individuals and communities. We cannot escape media. Media is everywhere. modern concerns revolve around the psychological impact of virtual violence rather than acting upon it. Not saying it’s better now, but we clearly have abided through this in the past and its getting better and I think there's potential to get even better.
