Some information in films, books and on the Internet has bad influence on young people and even on society. Some people think such information should be controlled.

Give your opinions on this view.

Of late, social scientists and educators have been shifting their focus on the issues of how some negative information, transmitted through films, books and Internet, influence the young people and what should be done about it. To my mind, films, books and programs on the Internet that carry bad information should be controlled or even banned.

Every year, hundreds of books have been printed on almost every subject and attract young readers to read. However, some contents in books may have profound negative information on them, such as detailed descriptions of plotting a scheme, drug deals or even bank robbery. Such books, I think, should absolutely be banned.

On the other hand, films may also contribute to harmful impressions of the world on the young people. One of these is formed from viewing the violent crime-filled world shown in films. This may leave on the young viewers an impression of an unfriendly world, of an evil world. Therefore, films depicting scenes of violence should be controlled to the young.

Young people, however, seem to be more easily affected by computer games on Internet. Some studies have shown that time spent on computer games is linked with poor performance in school. Moreover, violence in games often encourages some young people to behave aggressively. For that, I appeal to computer programmers to design healthier, educational games.

In conclusion, bad contents or negative information in films, books and Internet should either be banned or controlled for the sake of young people’s healthy growing-up. (250 words)
