Abstract

On the other hand, it is the duty of society towards the violence in the media to carry out the task of censoring what is presented in the various media, holding those responsible for the dissemination and circulation of these scenes through the enactment of laws criminalizing such acts, and also the development of an ethical system that preserves the morals of the society, and maintains its customs and traditions against This negative phenomenon, including the education of generations to renounce that image of violence and unacceptability in any case, and the manufacture of public awareness rejecting them.
