Some people think that the detailed criminal description on newspapers and TV has bad influences, so this kind of information should be restricted in the media.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
SAMPLE ESSAY:
Today, it is often argued that elaborate descriptions of criminal activities on printed newspapers and social media should be limited because of their numerous adverse effects. Personally, I disagree with this notion and will offer my opinion in the following essay.
Granted , there are several drawbacks of displaying detailed criminal information in the media. Firstly, the descriptions of brutal and serious offences could promote a strong sense of insecurity and anxiety among the general public in society. Consequently, many people may feel disinclined to socialize with others around or help strangers in need, especially those they think are potentially suspicious, which may render the community less close-knit and more cold-hearted. Secondly, elaborate criminal descriptions could adversely affect offenders to a great extent even after successful rehabilitation programs. This is because the human mind is capable of remembering detailed information of criminal acts people abhor , which possibly prompts them to still harshly discriminate against ex-offenders.
Nevertheless, I would argue that elaborately provided criminal descriptions are of huge benefit to the tightening of social security. On being publicly shown to the masses , these depictions can inform citizens of meticulous or intricate forms of illegal acts. Therefore, people will be encouraged to take more precautions or equip themselves with necessary tools to avoid such undesirable situations. For instance, thanks to the detailed reports of widespread crimes over the past few years, some Vietnamese households have already begun to install surveillance cameras and alarm bells which can timely alert these families to cases of thefts. Without these careful criminal descriptions, they might have been unable to take such appropriate measures to prevent serious offences.
In conclusion, despite the view that restrictions on showing detailed criminal descriptions in the media should be imposed, it is my firm conviction that this type of information would prove valuable to social security in the long term.
