Violent Media, Killer or just Misunderstood?
P
roponents of violent media state, that any child who is exposed to violent media turns into some
kind of monster, however in reality there are a few violent offenders who were driven by violence in media. In fact, assuming that all violence should be sheltered from children does more harm that violent media itself. A form of media that is highly misunderstood and labelled as violent is metal music, in which is also my favorite. Metal music is a form of relief, in which people release bottled up emotions that are pushed down by every day life, but with its violent sounds and angry tones, it is labelled as violent, which is the complete opposite. The exposure of violence to children in the proper form is healthy and needed for their growth, although sheltering children from any form of violence, will disrupt their emotionally adaption to serious situations they will face when they grow older. Exposing violent media can be harmful, and have driven students to school shootings and other real life violent situations that may have been preventable, but sheltering violence completely from our children would be irresponsible and could seriously effect children's mental health.
