Why we choose violence?!

 

Violence

I was in the gym one day and on the big TV screen I saw one of the channels showing an advertisement for one of the series that is shown in that channel, in which you have to subscribe and pay money for watching, of course.

 The advertisement collected several different scenes, but one of the repeated scenes attracted me in many The works of art, which combines a man with his son, who turns out to be not his biological son, and the son provokes his father with motivational phrases until the father hits him with a palm in the face, ending the advertisement!

 Perhaps if I had seen this scene, which is similar to many Arab and foreign series before, I would not have thought much. Naturally, violent scenes are used to attract the viewer's attention and see the movie or series.

 

But perhaps because I was in the gym and had time to think while I was walking on a treadmill, I was thinking why this father hadn't talked to his son calmly and told him what he had done wrong and how to correct him instead of getting excited straight away and slapping him in the face? Why do we promote violence..

is it because violence has become attractive to us and we love it, or because we have become accustomed to violence in all its forms without even thinking about it?

 Why do you always choose violence against dialogue?

So, after, I went to home I started my research to find the answer of this question.

The Future Center for Research in the Middle East has indicated that many countries of Arabic regione have witnessed imitation of some violent incidents included in the drama shown on the screens of some media, whether local or international, in a way that has become clear due to the low level of dramatic content, and those in charge of producing this type of drama sought to achieve quick profits.  

Claiming that these works are very popular, and their popularity in some societies exceeds the campaigns waged by critics and intellectuals against them.

 Dramatic works in some countries, during the past years, presented several models of people who practice violence or fall victim to it, in a way that prompted some children and adolescents to try to imitate them.

Suicide incidents spread among children whose parents reported that they were trying to imitate the heroes of some series.  Several studies have been conducted that indicated that there is a direct relationship between children's exposure to scenes of violence in dramas and their social behaviors, which are sometimes violent.

 Some dramas also contained a large number of scenes of violence against some societal groups, which many trends began to warn of, such as the Ramadan Drama Monitoring Committee formed by the Media Committee of the National Council for Women in Egypt, which issued a report, in July 2016, that revealed  In it, women were exposed in the series that were shown this month to about 1607 scenes of violence.

 In 2012, Algerian newspapers indicated that the number of children who, in a short period, committed suicide in the manner shown by one of the scenes in the last episode of the famous cartoon series "Detective Conan", reached about 15 children across the country.

 While the incident of imitation of a scene in an Egyptian series in one of the Egyptian governorates, shown in mid-2016, is a glaring example of the impact of drama on the level of societal violence, as citizens forced a man to wear women's clothes, shoot a video of him, and publish it on social media because of personal differences.

 It is noteworthy that some social networking sites linked the suicide of the Syrian Jaber al-Bakr, the suspect in an attempt to bomb a train station in Germany in his cell in October 2016, with the American series "Homeland", which referred to similar events.
