The entertainment industry is a contributing factor to juvenile crime. Why?

Question

Give four reasons on why or how

Answer 1

the entertainment industry impacts children through sigh, sound, and interaction. entertainment is violent and it increases aggression in children... it is one of many factors contributing to juvenile crime.

Answer 2

Entertainment industry involves music, movies, video games, etc... Entertainment is an activity which most juvenile spent time on, except schooling. Hence it have a great impact on influencing them.

1) Violent and bloody movies - These categories of movies are very common right now. Some juveniles might try to imitate what they saw in the shows. For instance, rob the bank for quick cash, take drugs to look cool, etc...

2) Music with vulgarities - Songs with vulgarities are common nowadays, eg. songs of Eminem, Limp Bizkit, etc. Juveniles might learn vulgarities and get tattoos, like what their favourite singers do. Hence their behaviour might worsen and bring them into trouble.

3) Video games - Most juveniles love to go to arcade to play games. Arcades in one of the places where juveniles get to know the wrong companies. Hence, some would join gangs and participates in crimes... due to peer pressures of their group.

4) Celebrities - Juveniles tend to take some celebrities as role models, they would "do" what their role models do. Eg. fans of lindsay lohan might take drugs like her. They think that whatever their idols do is correct, although it's not (but obsessions of being like their idols will leads them to the wrong path).

Answer 3

well, way back wen, movies were well sencored, and hardly EVER contained negative themes and scenes. now adays, there r full sex scenes in movies. also full drug scenes, with detailed imagery on how to fill up the syringe, how "cool" it is, how "good" u feel after. it is never put very clearly that these r very bad things to do. also the mention of language that is very inappropriat. a word like "bj" is a term for oral sex, but could be used in a pg13 movie, despite the negativity of its meaning. thats another thing is the exposure to the younger audience. also, the net. there is never a way to tell if the person viewing is 18 or not, so it is not hard to get into these sites if there is no blocks. so kids are exposed to VERY dirty stuff at a tender age. many teenagers even have admitted to being xxx-oholics, which is reelie a shame.

Answer 4

1. Videos demeaning/degrading people and use of drugs, sex, etc..list goes on on on
2. Songs talking about drug trafficking, sex, pimping, list goes on and on
3. Powerful, popular, respected or well known artist glorifying their own lifestyle as if it is better than everyone else, knowing that this influences one way or another
4. Money! Young people thinking it is rather easy to come by lots of money and going by any means of doing so

Answer 5

desensanozation to horrific crime ex: news becomes entertainment tv
sensitive topics are included in all forums
killing becomes a game of know how
role models are people who party and get drunk ex celebs

Answer 6

Not...
1) Parents are too lazy to talk to thier kids about what they are watching, listening to, playing ect to explain to them the difference in fantasy and reality and instead plop thier kids in front of tv's and video games.

I know it doesnt help your homework just my humble opinion is all.

Answer 7

Because they're irresponsible, greedy, immoral, and indifferent.
