Television has something to do with violence in society, but also with drug use in our society today. For television, they seem to show far too many ways to commit violent acts and how to get away with it. Shows like: Law and Order, CSI, Stalker and Boardwalk Empire to name a few. If more TV shows were less violent, people wouldn't have these ideas in their heads, but I think that's not the only thing that contributes to violence. Drug use in society appears to be at a high level. Many people use drugs such as crystal meth, cocaine, and heroin, and if they can't find the drug of their choice, they will do just about anything to get their hands on what they can think of. need so much. This is where the violence comes in: they steal from people, sometimes resulting in serious injury or even death, just so they can reach their next peak. I think most of these problems could be solved if the government didn't allow such violent shows to be broadcast and did more with drug addicts. Most people arrested for drugs serve their time, get out and start using again. I think once they are caught using drugs they should be put through a drug testing program that the individual would pay for and they might gradually have to take fewer drug tests but should start every two weeks and with good results after a period of time pushes them further
