Violence on TV

Television is a tool that can help or destroy. Violence on television is something that should not be present because it reproduces actions and patterns of discrimination, injustice, and machismo. 

When stereotypes are promoted on television, it is violence because women have come to risk their lives by conforming to those stereotypes. 

When robberies and murders are shown on television it is violence because unconsciously it promotes the use of weapons and people feel more insecure every day. 

When a murderer is shown on television taking out a woman's eyes it is violence because it does not question the man, it does not teach about feminism and gender equality, it does not say that it is frustrating femicide, it is violent that they talk about how a man almost killed a woman and they do not teach men not to rape and kill. 

When women are denigrated and internalized on television, when their clothes, bodies, and attitudes are highlighted rather than congratulated and their professional and academic achievements are shown, it is violence. 

Violence on television is not only when they show weapons, wars, and conflicts, which can incite children to violence, violence on television is also gender-based violence because women are objectified every day and their contributions are not recognized. Violence on TV is also making fun of different people in comedy shows and discriminating against them. Violence on television is also giving space to racist and homophobic people to speak out of hatred.

For all these reasons, violence on television must be eradicated. TV is a means of mass communication that many people grow up watching, and if we watch violence as we grow up we will only be people full of hate and unhappiness. But if we grow up with cultural programs that promote equality, that teach about feminism, that do not promote stereotypes or focus only on war and weapons, people will be happier, they will live with less fear, we will have more culture and education.
