Action films have both detrimental
(negative) and beneficial (positive) effects on youths. Pro-social
behaviour and anti-social behaviour are the outcome of youths exposure
to action films.
The impact of the fast and the furious on the
behavioural pattern or development of youths can be a pro-social
behavior learnt from films and are imitations which including sharing
extrusion behaviour, co-operation, speech construction etc. Anti-social
behaviours are verbal, that is, insults and physical aggression,
stealing, bullying, fighting etc.
Liebert et al (1998) agree that
significant exposure to media violence increase the risk of aggressive
behaviour in certain youths. They reviewed that other effects include
desensitization to other‟s pain and suffering and the tendency to become
fearful of the world around them, viewing it as a dangerous place. Also
in America, which has now spread to otherparts of the world via
satellite television, the sexularization of American media has serious
dangerous influence on youths.
