Violence is something that I have always hated. I hated the scary video games growing up, any sort of conflict, and movies filled with blood and fighting. Violence, war, and death are some of the worst parts of life. I understand the importance and life lessons of violent movies, but I only want to see them if they have significant moral and historical lessons. I do not think we should desensitize ourselves to the evil in the world and there are multiple studies that show this happening because of the violent TV shows, movies, and video games that surround us. These TV shows, video games and movies portray war and violence as "tough" and "manly". Thus influencing children and young adults to view these violence and fighting as normal and common. This puts the idea in children from a young age that them fighting and using violence to communicate is the same as them being "tough". These are just a few of the reasons why I think that violent video games are completely useless, and movies should be violent only if absolutely necessary.
