Discuss whether media violence influences human behaviour.

Prolonged exposure to violence in the media may desensitise people, causing them to behave in aggressive or hurtful ways towards others. In the long run, these behaviours may manifest in various forms of crimes, such as murder and rape. For example, the movies "Natural Born Killers", "Child's Play 3", "Money Train" and "Old Boy", all which contain scenes of violence, have been said to have inspired specific criminal acts of violence. Therefore, prolonged exposure to media violence does affect the way humans act.
