Abstract

Media violence is any visual portrayal of violent physical activity or violent thought by one person or character against another. Media violence has a very ill influence on the behaviour of the students as well as on the behaviour of the adults of our society. The media which has violent content may causes violent and aggressive behaviour of the students and adults of our society. Through the present study the researcher has made an attempt to study the students’ awareness regarding the issue of media violence. In order to conduct the study the researcher has selected a sample of 100 students from the Lakhipur College of Goalpara District by using simple random sampling method. One self- structure questionnaire is used to collect the primary data for the study. From the study it is found that most of the students are not aware about the media violence and there is a need to make our students aware about the ill influence of media violence.
