SEX AND VIOLENCE IN MEDIA

    Sex and Violence in Media are now one of the main occurrences man are facing. Due to curiosity man are bound to be aggressive and are ready to explore things. They are ought to be influenced, capturing new perceptions, personalities, behaviors and are readily distorted. Media exposure can be a manipulative activity for viewers. Evidence now points out that many of the widely held beliefs in this area have been the cause of severe problems, both for youth and society.

   In today's society, sex and violence is practically in every movie you see. Most box office hits are filled with a variety of violence, like the Matrix or a variety of sexual content, like American Pie. The violence and sex content in these movies make it appealing to viewers, especially young audiences. But, the effects of watching these movies could be damaging, especially if the child is not being supervised while watching these movies. Sigmund Freud had his views on sex and violence. Freud believed sex was something a human needed to survive. He believed it was the instinct of the human that motivates him or her to seek food and water and the instinct of the species to motivate him or her to have sex. Freud thought sex was a very important need because he felt humans were very social creatures (www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/freud.html). I think Freud would have thought watching sex on television would motivate humans to do the same and fulfill our desires. Freud was such a strong believer on the sexual tendencies, for example the Oedipus complex. The Oedipus complex was described as the son wanting to kill his father and marry his mother. He also was a strong believer of how humans use the defense mechanism of denial to avoid what humans truly want and need. Therefore, through watching movies with sexual content, it might seem like it is okay to act out the desires that we want, because we see it in the media.

IN WHAT MEDIA DO SEX AND VIOLENCE PRESENT?
    Nowadays sex and violence. occurs at many different types of media such as;
Print medias, like komiks, magazines and others that portrays inappropriate pictures that shows the interest of sex and violence. There are some articles that are not age appropriate.

Broadcast Medias; things such as, news concerning with the sex and violence which are not suitable for childrens, etc.


In such medias like films where as movies, indie films, even a short timed films indicates sex and violence are presently valuable and can be viewed by majority and are classified harmful.
Then finally, as the ones characterized as global villagers who are intact to create big relationship and closeness to each other. We are into this new medias such as the social media sites.


What could possibly be the huge effect of Sex and Violence in Media?
   Sex and Violence in Media, triggers the viewers mind. and are dangerously going to model it. A pastor shares a story about a man who is titled as the most serial killer and rapist. According to Him `` This man was interviewed and is questioned like this. ``What is your best reason why you always into rape and raping them you kill them?`` The suspect answered, ``For it was on my behavior and is now unstoppable.`` Also according to further more investigation it was noticed that it all started while he was just on a young age. Where he always goes to stores and buys pornographic magazines till time comes his will was not satisfied by just seeing it he becomes eager yo experience it .`  Then that`s the main reason he always tends to rape and kill. As a pastor says, ``Eyes feed the heart. Out of the abundance of the heart speaks and acts.`` You see it all started with the eye. that views each and any of these sexual and violence porn.

According to researches a huge ratings of sex and violence in media are now malignant and is continues on growing.

Also according to a survey it was proven that sex and violence in the media is a huge problem as of today.


What solutions we could give as a further solution to this dilemma?
      Parents, as one of our obligation, watch over your children. Make sure you know what they are viewing, guide them and always remind them things that is right and keep them away from harm.


Being more aware of what might come in harm us. Is the best resolution that makes us away from dangerous and unmanly behaviors.
