I remember in class when professor gave the example of how a couple broke up after being influenced by the Indian movie Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, immediately a similar example came in my head. it was of my younger brother. My younger brother used to watch wrestling shows on WWE all day when he was 10 years old. He was so into the whole thing that he started purchasing DVD's of the show so he could watch them over and over again. Not only that, he bought doll figures of almost all super stars there were available in the market. He used to play with them all day, make them fight and he almost thought they were real. But I guess that was not enough for him. After watching these shows, what he also started thinking is that he is the new Wrestling Star and his enemies are his sisters. He started trying the 'smacks' and 'moves' he saw on TV on us!!!!! It was crazy. Once my younger sister almost choked because of how he jumped on her and tried to do the 'John Cena' move on her.
This is just one of the examples that I am sharing with you all reading this about how content shared on media such as TV & movies can influence people, specially young children. The producers of such media should definitely be more careful about the access of such content by the different audiences.& that picture on the right is an example of what his collection is! He has over 55 dolls like those!
And that is small video showing you how some of the 'moves' my brother likes to immitate...
