STUDY OF RELIGION ESSAY Ethics and Media Violence Semester III, Term II, 2003 The post-modern world as it stands today, varies with depth, complexity and human response. People of the C20th world have become more adventurous than ever, hence creating endless and fascinating difficulties, as Richard Halloway also quotes, “that is our glory, it is what makes us human and we should rejoice in it”. This structured belief may very well be applicable in response to the world’s demands on self and others, however, some difficulties that the world are currently facing do not include such elements to be rejoiced in, through many people’s eyes. As for ethics faced by media violence, some have reason to believe that this issue is one that could determine the future generations and the well being of the world. Mixed beliefs on this issue have been strongly raised over time, however now more than ever. People turn to ethical frameworks to try to comprehend or even resolve such problems faced by the world. The ethical framework of Utilitarianism is just one example of an ethical framework that appears to be used by many within the industry of media today.
