Guns and their influences on the society

Nowadays; for approximately every children, guns are perceived as a indispensable toys. Think about your childhood. Even if you were a tiny girl, it is impossible not to see any guns as a toy. The most important factor which triggers to this situation for children, parents could not see the inevitable future of their children who is growing with guns. Spending all of childhood with machine gun or magnum, known by almost every children, lead that these toys become a part of their culture in future. Therefore when these younger brains grow up, using a gun could not be perceived as a horrible and dangerous habit. I call guns as habit because not the guns only connect their life directly as a toy, but also they connect with television shows. On television it is easy to observe any programs which encourage using of gun. For our society, Kurtlar Vadisi, Adanalı, Ezel can be suitable examples for this matter. According to an survey which includes the toys size relevant with years, The size of guns is incredibly increasing day by day in toys world. This is emanated by popularity. Clearly, if any material on the society is becoming popular, it is inevitable that producers contributes and develop them for earning much more money. If action man is analyzed by scholars according to years, this situation can be observed with its gun size.
These factors lead to emerge the society which there is more crimes as murdering, suicide with gun, injuring someone etc. and if scholars can not take any precaution for future society, this tendency to using of gun is going to be increase with enormous acceleration. This is obvious that if we can see the future as more peaceful and less criminal, we have to begin to analyze this matter and produce new solutions.

Is Television Really as a Drug

Focusing on Television's influence on public is the most challenging matter for scholars and sociologists nowadays. Because at the place where there are a lot of perception about Television it is difficult to come up with the right idea. For instance; according to Marie Winn; Television is accepted as a drug for societies. However; there also is controversy notion like that Television is tried to show people as a drug but the truth is not in that way. This idea is being supported with some aspect of Television and drug connection. Actually the scholars who defend that TV can not be a drug support their ideas with real drug and television connection. As a matter of fact; Drug conception is completely different than television conception for society and blaming television watchers as a drug users is unfortunately exaggerated and biased notion. Because drug addiction has an material and concrete meaning which Television has not. Therefore there is no connection with TV and Heroin in this way.
Moreover; Television covers a lot of time for a person's day. Hence; A connection is set up between the person and this device. For these reason; showing Television as a drug effects people deeply and the misunderstanding that people suppose themselves as a drug user often happens. In this environment, the relationship between drug and television stands at the argumentative position and it is challenging to deal with its accuracy.
