Opening Arguments

Pro Opening - SublimeMaelstrom592
Entertainment media profoundly influences society by shaping perceptions and norms. Portraying real-life consequences ensures audiences understand the potential impact of actions, promoting responsible behavior. Ignoring these consequences risks glamorizing harmful actions, like violence or substance abuse, deterring informed decision-making. While creativity should flourish, incorporating reality aids in cultivating empathy and awareness. Thus, there’s a responsibility to balance artistic freedom with societal impact, ultimately fostering a more conscientious audience.
