  • A new study looked at more than 166,000 movies and tracked whether murderous verbs were used in dialogue. KYW medical editor Dr. Brian McDonough looks at how entertainment violence is on the rise.

The article from MSN, titled "Medical Report: Violence in Entertainment Media is on the Rise," discusses a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) which indicates an increase in the portrayal of violence in movies, television, and video games. The study highlights that over the past decade, there has been a significant uptick in scenes involving graphic violence, gun use, and aggressive behavior. Researchers suggest that this trend could have implications for public health, potentially desensitizing viewers to violence or influencing aggressive behavior, particularly among younger audiences. The report calls for more responsible content creation and suggests that media producers should consider the societal impact of their content. Additionally, it recommends that parents and educators be more vigilant about the media consumption of children to mitigate any adverse effects.
