Entertainment media has an inherent responsibility to portray real-life consequences, as it significantly influences public perception and behavior. By reflecting authentic outcomes, media can educate audiences, fostering critical thinking and empathy. This portrayal encourages accountability and awareness, enabling viewers to understand actions' repercussions. Ignoring real-life consequences may trivialize serious issues, leading to misinformation and desensitization. Therefore, integrating genuine consequences into narratives not only enriches storytelling but also promotes a more informed and conscientious society, aligning entertainment with ethical responsibilities.
