I've spent most of my summer holidays (in Australia) in front of the TV, and I've noticed that there's a lot of sex and violence on TV, and it's usually the protagonists of these shows carrying out these acts.
For example, there are a lot of American shows that show the main characters having pre-marital sex, either that or it's the protagonists goal to sleep with a particular girl.
As for violence, when a protagonist punches a person in the face, naturally we think; "way to GO!!" and it is conveyed to us that the attacker is tough and gutsy. However, we all know it's wrong to lose our tempers like that and resorting to violence makes things worse.
My question is; will the media ever produce better and more responsible role models that would set better examples on how we should behave and benfit society? If no, why not?
