Task 3 practise art

The role of art in developing empathy for people and groups who live lives that are different to your own.

I think that violence in films plays a role in developing empathy for people and groups. I am for this statement and will prove this by giving the following arguments.

the first reason why I think it develops empathy is that people who watch those violent films will know what is right and wrong. Based off these scenes they now what the appropriate approach is to certain things. For instance, there is a conflict in a movie and the person get's mad and kills the other person. When people see this they will know violence should not always be the answer teaching them a lesson.

Secondly, I think that when people see violent movies it might make them more grateful as they are not living in such a situation. This might also teach them a lesson to be more grateful and realise that they are in a better place than those people in the movie which will make them a better person.

An argument against this is that young people should not be exposed to such things at a young age. However, it gives them a good idea on what is right and wrong at a young age which is crucial. This is because the later they learn this the harder it is to adapt to that idea, and if you teach them young they will now from a young age onwards.
