...Have you ever seen a movie and automatically thought after now I know their crime story? When people talk about crime, most people are just basing there story off of something they saw in a movie or something they saw on television. Most of the crimes in movies are; assault, bribe, armed robbery, manslaughter, or racketeering, just to name a few. For example the movie “Public Enemies” starring Johnny Depp, it portrays a rough outline of the infamous John Dillinger and his gang. When I first saw this movie I was amazed because the story that they showed wasn't at all what I expected, I expected to see all major crimes take place one after another and grueling shootouts the whole movie but they showed his kind and calm side and it actually turned out to be a great movie. Another example of crime and the movies but on the other side of the law would be any of the “X-Men” series. These people may be mutants but most of them use their gifts for good rather than break the law. A classic example would be “Robin Hood”, he broke the law only to help those in need. (rottentomatoes.com) There are other examples where crime and the movies coexist on both sides of the law, whether it would be cheering for the good guy or cringing when a killer kills their victim, movies cannot show you the whole story and cannot show you the real justice system. During my research I came across this essay called “Does Movie Violence Increase Violent Crime?” (Dahl & DellaVigna, 2006) an excerpt from the essay...

...As young people have this perception as to what it means to have a good life, society has put them into a category as a typical teen wanting the lifestyle of the rich and famous.

For instance, if a person is famous they get into certain place, meet a lot of people, and get other celebrity treatments, such as eating and traveling well with the amount of money they have. Thejoshl from the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) website mentions “Sofia Coppola gets it; she gets this social media generation. How do I know? I'm part of it. I know girls like this; the types that don't believe something exists unless it's been posted on their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.” Throughout the entire film Coppola wanted to how youth today are so obsessed with the internet that they are withdrawn from the world. For instance, at every celebrities’ house that they robbed they always took pictures wearing the celebrities’ possessions and posted them on Facebook.

What’s the reason for youth crime? What’s the exactly effect of youth crime? Is there any effective solution that can help young people decrease the crime rate?

Nowadays, due to the parents in most the families need to work for their economic reason, lack of time caused less communication between children and parents, children might be neglected and feeling cannot get support from the parents when they need, they don’t have enough life experience for the right justice, so that they are easy to lost themselves when they meet some problem in their life, so that they use their own way, which is easy to cause the crime, to solve the problem. Besides, the other factor is the increasing levels of poverty around the world. We have seen with globalization the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and this inevitably means that those who are poorer will have to resort to illegal means to get what others have. Of course, this caused youth crime of the children from the poorer families. As the consequence, youth crime caused quite serious social effect, not only in...

...Tre' Landry Composition 1302.05 2/15/2015 Negative Effects of Television There is no doubt that the media influences us. These influences are known as media effects. Media effects are commonly described along a cognitive-effective behavioral dimension, which marks a distinction between acquisition of knowledge about an action and performance of the action.(Perse 34)When we go to watch an action movie at a theater. You feel like attempting a stunt you saw in the movie. When some people watch a show with their favorite actor or actress, they tend to want to wear what that person is wearing. Television shows are the most popular pastime for the average human-being who are interested in watching it. Women believe that the best way to look is the way they see models walk down a runway. These apply to most people. Furthermore, it is important to dwell on the negative influences of media because these can change the dynamics of the society for the worse. Television can grow to an addiction. The world's most popular leisure pastime is watching television. The amount of time people spend watching television is astonishing.

The CEO wanted to increase and stabilize the revenue, Lewthwaite was expected to present her recommendation to the Loyalty Steering Committee in regards with the program development, the reward structure, and the type of promotional campaign considered most effective under the existing budget constraints.

...Diverse Effects of Movie Violence Bob D. Weaver American Intercontinental University Abstract Movie Violence has positive and negative effects on society and individuals. Certain results have shown that after viewing violence in a film, viewers are more aggressive. It desensitizes people and makes them more probable to perform violent acts. The violence in films is lifted up by showing that people can achieve goals and live fabulous lifestyles by exerting dominance with violence. However, movie violence has positive effects such as the reduction of crime after large audiences view violent films. Good and evil, yin and yang, and Newton’s third law all show that there are two sides to everything. Where there is one effect, there is another to counter-balance. This is proven with the diverse effects of violence in movies. More often than not, when people speak about violence in movies, they speak about how it corrupts the minds of youth and leads to mankind becoming more violent as a species. The only arguments that are usually heard against these claims are about how the parents need to control the children and criminals need to stop blaming the television. Although not very known, the violence that is portrayed in movies and television shows has negative as well as positive effects. The criminal lifestyle in movies and television shows are often displayed as fabulous, powerful, and exotic to where the criminal can have or do anything they want because they often rule...
