IELTS WRITING TASK 2
Giving detailed description of crimes in newspapers and on television has bad consequences. Some people therefore suggest that the government should impose restrictions on them.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
SAMPLE ANSWER
With the rise in the number of newspapers and television channels, almost all the crimes are covered with detailed information. There are divided opinions on the consequences of this description. Both views are discussed in this essay.
It is true that most people of the world access and rely heavily on electronic and print media. Hence, it is the responsibility of the media to serve the community with sensible and socially acceptable news because their reader class consists of vulnerable people like children, teenagers and even misguided beings. Such readers may get negative inspiration from crime descriptions and harm either themselves or other innocent people. It is very important to control crime rates in the world and the detailed descriptions of modus operandi of criminals may result in a contradictory situation.
On the other hand, some people assert that providing detailed descriptions of crimes helps in creating awareness in the people. They also add that this awareness is the key factor in preventing more crime and also helps people in protecting themselves from criminals. Moreover, the information about the crime may also be helpful in catching those criminals and bringing them to justice.
Finally, with the increase in crime in all parts of the world, it is essential for the media to give elaborated information to their viewers but I think they should differentiate and filter useless and provoking information from their coverage. By doing so, the media can play an important and fundamental role in keeping a check on the crime in society and also in building responsible individuals.
