In the late 1950's action-adventure became popular. Since the 1960's there has been a increase in violence in the media (television). In 1968 censorship laws were relaxed in favor of a rating system that allowed any type of subject matter to be filmed. This permitted Hollywood to specialize in films featuring excessive violence.

- ... Government for a redress of grievances. In no way does censorship violate the first amendment. Censorship prevents broadcasters from infringing on the rights of the viewers.

- 145: Violence in Music and the Media
- Violence in Music and the Media I think it is obvious that music has an effect on todays society. It has been stated that musical messages are capable of planting dangerous ideas in the minds of young people or fueling those which already exist. Violence in music is more common than ever. Three decades ago not one popular song encouraged robbery, rape, murder, assaults, or using weapons to settle disputes. Violent crimes increased by over 500 percent during the three decades ending in 1990. In todays music nothing is taboo. Family research manager Robert Waliszewski argues that for every teenager who makes the 6 oclock news by carrying out an act of violence, there are thousands more whose values are being fashioned subtly through disturbing musical messages. I believe that one of the most prominent examples of violence in music is the controversial song by the band ...

- ... the sickness from others so they can maintain the abusive situation for a longer time. Billboards, radio, and TV ads across the country proclaim that every fifteen seconds a woman is beaten by a man. Violence against women is clearly a problem of national importance, but has anyone ever asked how often men are beaten by women? The unfortunate fact is that men are the victims of domestic violence at least as often as women are. A survey conducted by National Family Violence showed that men are just as likely to be the victims of domestic violence as women are. In a study in Nineteen- seventy - five (1975) and nineteen - eighty - five (1985), the overall rate of ...

Thousands of children die or are wounded every year due to handguns and their ... America sees that we need stricter gun control laws? To leave the issue of gun control untouched by the government is to say that the citizens of America are essentially apathetic when it comes to violence in our country.

- ... nature of Humbert Humbert, to the literal animal transformation of Jack Torrance, (Kubrick highlights the sloping forehead and wild eyes)Gomer Pyle, and Animal Mother (who clearly represent the animalistic transformation after excessive use of violence), Kubrick shows characters who cannot escape their animalistic nature. Lynch on the other hand, makes a clear distinction between the "animal" and "human" side to society by placing John Merrick as a liminal figure between ... But instead of making love, Dorothy asks Jeffrey "to hit her," and the following scene is marred by Jeffrey's discovery of something dark and troubled within himself. And while it is this discovery of violence and sadism that Lynch uses to complicate the films "happy" ending, which is so fabricated in its composition that it causes disstanciation from the audience rather than a feeling of closure, it is also Jeffrey ... in the film that removes his liminality and places him firmly as a benevolent character. At this point I would like to compare the different ways that Kubrick and Lynch address the issue of domestic violence and men's abuse of women. Perhaps one of the most notorious rape scenes in film history is found in Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. The scene is set in a man's house ...
