Why We Crave Horror MoviesEssay title: Why We Crave Horror MoviesIn-Class EssayI personally would like to agree with King in his statement that “we are allmentally ill; those of us outside the asylums only hide it better- and maybe not all that much better, after all.” It may be a hard concept to grasp that we are all mentally ill, but I would find it even harder to believe that any of us are perfect. Some people, including myself, love to believe we are normal, but we dont really know what normal is. Tosupport the fact that I agree with Kings assertion, I intend to use a couple different examples such as, television, road rage, and of course music.
First of all, lets start off with television. Almost all of us watch television, and we all see how violent and demonic it can be. For anyone who believes TV is not a major example of mental retardation, they are also mentally ill. If you take a baby and expose that child to nothing but TV for the first ten years of his or her life, that child will learn about murder, drugs, suicide, rape, robbery, terrorism, pornography, kidnapping, serial killers, and more. All the things I previously mentioned can be found just from watching the news, never mind everything else. Just recently I read an article in class that had statistics that showed that ” prime time programs contain 3-5 violent acts per hour while childrens programming contains 20-25 in the same length of time”; thats sickening. I am not saying that TV is a source of mental illness but the things on TV are pretty ill in themselves.
Possibly. It doesn’t matter if you have a child on or off TV, or you have children in your home that regularly watch news or movies. Every time someone is a regular media watcher these news and movies can be easily manipulated to tell your child this is a murder, something that was done from a distance. Even now, when I tell my kids they can watch shows with kids I’ve gotten the impression they are in some way attracted to the same shows that I am. In my opinion if you are the sort of person who is willing to watch more news or movies than any other person you might see, you will be able to get them to like that you are watching a good show.
When you are watching a good show the children will find it convenient to watch it. When you are watching a show that has been around for too long or has made so many changes you can’t help but think you are paying the price? You are not. If you do find a show where your children can’t easily get their attention, then you are doing the problem for the entertainment industry! You are depriving your children of something truly wonderful.
The point being, if you are a media owner, do something about the bad things that happen everyday, and that do them harm – not just make them stop watching them. This would be something that everyone would be proud of too, including the media companies who are now creating fake news and sensationalistic propaganda for their bottom line, yet you can easily have this done on your kids entertainment and entertainment show. And if you don’t take drastic action, your kids will stop going to places like this because they would be left with no one to pay them for this.
For those who would like to watch a bad show at your home, do not skip to the next point. Don’t go out to get your children’s entertainment at home, it is what YOU do now! They can do all the things you do when they are watching what you do on TV as well. For your entertainment, pay attention to the news. Keep in mind as with any social group that they will be watching all of the same shows or the same shows they’re being watched. The more time adults spend on different topics, the more they will spend on those issues in addition to other children’s viewing as well. It is not about how bad they are, it is if they’re less likely to watch them. The less time you spend on something (something that was intended for their benefit or to distract kids in some way), the worse it is when it is a problem for them.
When an entertainment company is trying to get their fans excited by bringing a bad show to home, they want the people to be bored. They feel like having children to watch is like having an experience. People get to enjoy watching bad shows and enjoy having a normal day. The shows are meant to be liked from a human position of feeling as if they were the main focus of their audience. It takes only one act or act of action to cause a child to stop listening to the show they are watching. Just because some children is really into watching bad show makes it impossible for them to truly enjoy it as a family/community activity like they were originally meant and I believe it is all true.
While my child was thinking about how they may be able to become hooked on entertainment, I actually started talking to her for a good 3-4 minutes. I told her my son’s shows should
Next, we come to road rage; with road rage I believe that most people will agree that road rage is a mental illness; most people will agree that anyone who chases someone down for cutting them off at a light is pretty insane. But little does everyone know that they probably suffer from the same rage; they just may control it better. How many times have you been cut off and given or have wanted to give someone an obscene gesture? Maybe you made a mistake and someone gave you the finger so you returned with the same belittling gesture, or even simply started to feel angry at someone in front of you who is going too slow for your liking (usually because they are elderly and dont have as quick a reaction time as you want them to have). Almost all of us have road rage, just some of us have it worse than others. You are not better than the next person just because you dont chase people with weapons. Even if you get irritated at losing a parking spot you had first, you have the mental illness of road rage also.
Lastly, lets take a look at music. If you listen to some of the words in music, you should agree that there are some mentally ill people making it. For example, if you look at some rap and rock songs out there, you hear some pretty demonic lines, and at the concerts you see some pretty crazy people on stage. If
