The target audience may not even realized they are being taught these values subconsciously via storytelling which will increase its effectiveness in embedding these ideas into Children. This in turn will lower the rate of problematic children and thus bring less headaches for the government when dealing with these children. Basically positive brainwashing and propaganda.

This is because a large number of people are doing the same thing. The audience laughs together, applauds and shares almost the same emotions. This collective effort experienced by the viewers make the experience more entertaining and enjoyable.
- Films show us history, culture, science, technology, politics and a lot more. In fact, the visual medium is a means of better education as we retain information for a longer time when we visually see it.
- However, majority of the Hollywood movies have questionable content that can corrupt values and characters. It appears that it has become a norm to have inappropriate scenes either as an attraction point or selling point.

- it is no secret that Americans tend to be more liberal and open-minded than many other countries
- as a result, the media produced from Hollywood may be viewed as more unconventional than the media produced from other countries such as Singapore
- films from Hollywood may include themes that go against some religious beliefs, such as homosexuality, 🤬 and premarital sex
- as a result, when these films become popular and are viewed by people globally, these themes and ideas may easily influence viewers
- this is why films may be seen as harmful towards religious groups, as it is possible that certain values and themes shown in certain films may go against their religious beliefs, and influence the viewers who could be young and impressionable, causing these viewers to stray away from their religion and its beliefs to follow the values shown in these popular films

- parents might have the view that films, in general might have mature themes that are not suitable for all audiences
- films with more liberal values might cause the children/teenagers to adopt these more liberal values, which parents might not agree with

- they can help spread awareness and address social stigmas which can lead to more acceptance within the community. An example would be the recent documentary by CNA, Inside Maximum Security. This film allows inmates to share their stories and struggles that they have faced or are facing while on their road to release. This has helped the public view them from a different perspective. This can help them integrate back into society more easily upon release, for example it may be easier for them to find a job.
- they can also help instil good morals and social norms into citizens through the films which are shown. For example, Crime Watch. While this show brings entertainment to viewers, it also makes it very clear that if citizens were to break the law, there would be consequences to their actions and there would be consequences.
-films can also help to preserve a culture through educating a wider audience about the it. For example, Crazy Rich Asians. This movie was widely popular in the West as it was by a Western film making company. However, this film was centred around the Chinese culture, more specifically, the Cantonese culture in Singapore. This helped the people be more open towards the Chinese culture.

However, there are harmful effects of films
- As the government regulates the films which can be shown in the country, this can lead to propaganda or brainwashing. While propaganda is not all bad, it can create a false image of the government in citizens. For example, the Singapore government does not allow LGBT+ films to be shown in Singapore, such as a small scene in the 2021 Marvel film, Eternals. 
 - Additionally, there is no transparency because the government only allows politically correct information to be published. For example, the Russian government only allows news which is supportive of Russia's actions during this Russia-Ukraine War to be published in Russia so as to gain support from the Russians.

-This is because creators can gain recognition for their work via films.For example,Director Bong Joon Ho's Korean films,Parasite garnered critical acclaim and made history by being the first international film to win the best picture Oscar.This feat ensured that he was able to gain recognition for his films and was given credit for his work,Additionally,the popularity of his film paved the way to making Hollywood more inclusive.
-Films are also beneficial for creators because it ensures that creators are able to advocate for important issues.For example,the short film Trevor inspired the Trevor Project to be set up which helps lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youths in America.This shows that films can inspire change in communities.
Hence,I disagree with the statement that films are more harmful than beneficial.

Films are viewed by many around the world as a source of entertainment and leisure. Filmmakers cater to these needs through the content of the films which are aimed at all age groups. For example, today, there are a multitude of platforms available for individuals from all walks of life to indulge in. These include Netflix, Youtube as well as Disney+. This has resulted in individuals not having to leave their homes and yet feel entertained or enjoy a leisurely break with friends and family members from the comfort of their homes. Additionally, film watching can be a form of activity for friends or family to engage in and spend time together which requires little effort allowing them to bond together. thus, films have its benefits.

- Films bring about many benefits. Films can inspire many people. Characters in many films often portray morals and virtues that people can learn from to be better people. For example watching characters who are resilient in solving the issue and main plot of the story can inspire people to do the same with the problems they face in their own personal lives. 

- People can also find new passions through films. There are many films that showcase other people’s own stories and ways to follow their dreams and passions. This inspiration can lead people to be driven in finding their own purpose and goals in life and live a fulfilling life.

- Lastly, films are a way to connect many people. In fact thousands. Since films are streamed all over the world and word of films are always easily and quickly spread through social media, many people have the opportunity to share the same experience, that is watching the same film. This shared joy can easily connect many together, through sharing their own thoughts and feelings towards the film. Whether different or a united opinion, both can help connect people in fellowship.

Children may try to copy risky and possibly dangerous things they see in movies. Hence, parents might be concern if the contents their child watches.

Firstly, the personal monetary gain a distributor gets from publishing a film is good for the distributor. The more in demand films are, the more do they earn. Secondly, films are a great way to get ideas out to the public and can bring light to certain topics. Hence I believe films are a good thing for film distributors.

-it exerts a tremendous effect on people's psychology. People are exposed to all kinds of emotions in cinema within a short span of 2 to 3 hours.

When we watch films, we tend to get inspired by on screen characters and try doing something that we have never done before. For example, some films inspire young students to take their dream more seriously. (if they wanted tk be a singer, certain films can inspire them to make a cover of a song they’ve heen wanting to post for a long time but were just scared to do so)

2. Films also help people of different cultures connect together. For example, animated films are films that many people enjoy watching together regardless their religion.

3.  Films also help people relax

4. They also educate people because some films have messages.]]> 2022-03-21 01:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cho_chang_yin/dt9bi1feaai8g8zt/wish/2104234586 https://padlet.com/cho_chang_yin/dt9bi1feaai8g8zt/wish/2104235995 Parents may find films to be more beneficial than harmful to their children because

-Parents may be working and cannot accompany their children all the time
-Hence films are a way for parents to entertain their children while they are working.
-Furthermore, many shows targeted towards children inculcate children with good ethics and values that children will use later on in their life to shape their perspective of the world.

-The government can spread awareness through YouTube videos and platforms like CNA insider- series about the lives of  prisoners in Singapore.
- Advertise the country to increase tourism and also potential immigrants in the country.
- Establish good morals and values in citizens through short films

Many American producers include gunfights whenever fighting between parties occurs to make the film more attractive, but do not show ways of conflict resolution before usage of force. This influences people who watch the film to turn to violence whenever there is something they do not agree with instead of finding a compromise. In Singapore, possession and usage of guns are not acceptable but in counties with less strict gun laws, like the US, allow citizens to carry guns. This allows easy access to guns and with the increasingly violent films produced, it is expected that gun crimes in a country would increase. The government will then have to spend resources to employ stricter law enforcement and gun possession laws. This causes more money from the government’s budget to be spent on ensuring safety of the country as a whole, decreasing the money that the government can use to improve the country. As such, films are more harmful then beneficial.

In the past, films were only available to wealthy people who could afford watching films as a leisure activity. In today's society however, it is a norm to watch films as a way to unwind from busy work and school life to spend quality time with loved ones. While some might argue that films are harmful due to certain sensitive topics being discussed, it is undeniable that films do associate with positivity too. Films, are versatile; they can be of differing lengths, differing genres, but more importantly, created by different content creators. Content creators come from all around the globe, with differing background and beliefs. Due to this, certain issues faced in their county might not be widely known to others across the globe. Hence, to increase awareness and to potentially aid the situation, films could be a resort to educate viewers on the dire situation. For example to increase awareness about human destruction to the natural habitat of animals, Netflix uploaded many nature documentaries to showcase the wonders of nature without human disturbances. Apart from being a resort to situations, films can also inspire viewers; children these days are exposed to films more than previous generations. Films may therefore serve as inspiration for young minds and therefore fosters good attitude and character. Hence, given the plethora of benefits that films can bring, I therefore agree that films are more beneficial than harmful

One salient example is the top grossing movie films since its debut :Avengers Endgame. This is due to the fact that audiences are enthralled and enraptured by the CGI and animations that were well thought out by the writers- Stephen Mcfeely and Christopher Markus. The wild imagination of these writers have glorified the movie to win the title of the best movie made in history, and with a $2.8 billion box office haul. Because of the writers wild imagination and creativity, it has set a new boundary and standard for Marvel Entertainment to always create magnificent flims in the future.
