Effect of Crime Movies and Crime Stories
Movies are greatly responsible to
make many people take the path of crime by making crimes attractive. Police are
shown as stupid and slow and civil characters shine by contrast.
Many bank robberies and museum
thefts of valuables articles were being planned and executed after the fashion
of movies and crime thrillers.
Newspapers give glorious detail
of a murder or suicide with the details of drugs and methods used the killers
or the victims. The media has a moral duty towards its public.
Giving attractive headlines, or
publishing false information, to create an alarm among its readers, are to be
curbed, Yellow journalism will never appeal to the baser instincts of people.
Text books are there to nurture
value among the young minds. It is surprising after spending a lot of money
human energy and intelligence, the choice of lessons is so poor.
For example the villain is
presented as an attractive character casual, brave, smart and successful with
women. It is true that he finally gets caught. The whole lesson will deal glorifying
the quick success of an immoral character.
The events and situation will impress the reader and he might conclude that the life of crime is worth risking. Terrorists grow in our thoughts with a 'halo' of glory as we are unable to stop their mindless killings. Is glorifying crimes is not a crime?
