Violence in Society

Over the decades, people have tried to determine the leading causes of violence in society.  In fact, there are many leading causes such as the media, the governments, and the home environment.  Specifically, media including television, movies, and video games are the main leading causes of violence in society.  Many violent video games exist: Call of Duty, Halo, and Modern Warfare, just to name a few.  These video games include guns, violence, and death, and the goal of the game is to kill as many people as possible and have a low kill to death ratio (high kills and low deaths).  The violent nature of these games become a part of every day life for many people, which increases the violence rates.  Over the years we have seen a significant increase in violence in society; not only in our country but many countries around the world and they are caused by the increased number of violent television shows, movies, and video games.
Many of the television shows, movies, and video games are not regulated.  Many audiences (mainly referring to young kids) have access to these shows and games despite the age restrictions and graphic components included in them.  If companies and corporations implement more strict guidelines and regulations to which audience can have access to the shows, movies, and games will decrease the number of children exposed to violence at a young age.  Once this is achieved, the younger generation will grow up to be less violence and it will carry on into future generations to come.
