雅思话题作文范文：政府是否应控制影视暴力

　　The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this issue?

　　It is widely acknowledged that the amount of violence in films and on TV is one of the direct causes that lead to our high crime rate in our society. The voice of demanding the government to control violent scenes in media has been much louder than before. Personally， I totally agree with this voice， for it is the most effective way to reduce violent crimes in the real world.

　　First and foremost， violence on TV or in films is often portrayed as extreme as possible in order to attract audiences. This will definitely set a bad example for those immature audiences， who， lacking correct parental guidance， are most likely to copy the violent behaviours and commit real violent crimes.

　　Next， media， such as TV or film， is considered as the correct information source regulated by the government. It should be reporting and reflecting true phenomena in the society. Violence， as one of the facts in the real world， certainly has to be reported. However， excessive violence is offering misleading information to the public， which will exert detrimental influence to the society. For example， teenagers will regard those killers and murderers in the films and on TV as role models and copy their behaviours. It is recently reported in the news that a seventeen-year-old killed all his family members， one sister and two parents out of hatred and jealousy. In the real world， we are often reminded of the harm and hurt that violence in fictional world has brought us.

　　In a word， our society is preoccupied by the violent scenes and plots at present. What the government has to do immediately is to take effective measures to control the amount of violence in media. Only in this way， can our society enjoy high level of security and peace.
