Films that include violent content:
Suicide squad - 15
This is a suitable age certificate because the film features threat and violence and would not be suitable for younger viewers.
Fast and furious - 12
In the US this film is rated PG-13.
Contains Sex and nudity, violence and gore, alcohol/drug's/smoking, frightening and intense scenes. I think this film should be a higher rating because there are so many aspects that a 12 year old shouldn't see such as sexual scenes.
James bond spectre and sky fall - 12 and 12
Hostel - 18
The purge - 15
Saw - 18
The media effects debate.
The academic and social debate as to whether media has a negative impact on audience members. The many academic viewpoints and theories regarding the effects of media on audiences can be
divided into two main arguments; passive audience theory and active audience theory.
Passive audience
A collection of academic viewpoints that stress that audiences are unable to reject media messages and are subject to negative effects from the media they consume.
- Hypodermic syringe model: Inject ideas into the audiences mind and then believe what they see.
- Cultivation theory
- Desensitisation: The idea that prolonged exposure to violent images numbs the effect of them. The more you become accustomed to violent images, the less likely they are to have an impact on the audience.
Moral panic:
When the media creates fear in the population over an issue that appears to threaten or harm normal social order.

The article talks about a moral panic that swept the country about video games making people violent. The public believed that by young people playing video games they would pick up the anti social behaviour and portray it in their own lives. The writer of the article says that.
