10) Glorification Of Violence

Violence and aggression are inherently linked to military service, which is what Hollywood movies often portray. The justification of violence that comes through the wrong portrayal in movies can lead to downplaying the importance of negotiation through peaceful methods. Violent acts are often glorified in the movies, which can desensitize the viewers. The enemies in the movies are portrayed as one-dimensional characters showing only their negative side, which can lead to justification of the violence that is inflicted upon them.
