Too much TV

Many poeple believe that television violence has a negative effect on society
because it promotes violence. I agree with this because after watching a violent
movie, I react in one of four different ways depending on the movie I watched. If
I watch a kung-fu movie, I start doing marial arts. When I watch a shooting
movie, I try to shoot like the peoplein the movie. Whenever I watch an action
movie , I re-act the movie. If I watch a spy movie, I act like a spy. I know alot of
other people that do this as well and it could have a negative impact on society.

I was watching Fist of Legend with my cousin. When the movie ended, we
were fighting each other while using martial arts, pretending that we knew what
we were doing. We were kicking things, Karate chopping things, punching
things, and elbowing things. We started doing this to each other and we ended
up fighting for real because we kept hitting each other harder and harder. When
we finall calmed down we noticed that we had broken the glass table and the
vase that was on it. Because of the violent movie we watched we broke some of
the things in the house.

When I was at my friend's house we watched a movie called Wanted. My
friend's little brother went into hiis room and shortly after he came back weilding
a plastic Nerf gun. He kept trying to curve the bullet like the actors did in the
movie. On his fifth attempt at curving the fake bullet the plastic Nerf gun slipped
out of his hand and went crashing into the window, cracking it. The little boy got
a spanking and he never tried curving the bullet again.

One day my brother and I were watching a movie called The Expendables.
Near the end of the movie, we had seen so much action that we started
mimicking the movie scenes. We made so much noise that the next door
neighbor made a complaint about how loud we were. When our parents found
out we had to do an extra month worth of chores in a week and we were
grounded. The Expendables was the best movie I ever saw but it cost me alot.

I remember when I was a little kid and I watched The Bourne Identity for the
first time. I wewnt around acting like a spy because at the time I felt it was cool.
I lurked around corners, hid things from people, eavesdrop on peoples'
conversations and made some toy guns. I even started atealing things from
people. I never got in trouble because I make an excellent spy but looking back
I'm glad that I didn't develop a habit.

Whenever I watch a violent movie start mimicking the actions of the movie. If
it's an action movie I act the scenes out. When I watch a kung-fu movieI do
kung-fu. Watching a shooter movie I try to do the impossible tricks they did on
the movie. Spy movies made me act mischieviously and rude. If people did this
every time they saw a violent movie then people could get hurt or die. That is
why I think that television violence can have a negative impact on society.
