Negative Influence of the show Jackass
It takes a jackass to live a life in which stunts bring in
the income. Jackass is a movie where a group of guys go around risking their
health doing dangerous stunts. It has a negative affect on society. It gives a
message that doing dangerous stunts with a group of friends is fun. In the show,
they do not get hurt very easily because they were trained to avoid getting
hurt and they also take precautions on the show. The show encourages the
audience to take risk, which seems a lot easier on the show because they know
what they are doing. The show makes you feel as though the stunts will not
injure you but the people on the show gets hurt from some of the stunts and
pretend to be fine until they are away from the camera. There are even members
of the group from the show suffering from injuries and have to live with body
marks that they receive doing stunt on the show. It promotes mindless behavior
and there are tons of kids out there who enjoy doing stunts. The show is that
extra push for them to do that crazy stunts they would be afraid of doing. We
would have a more peaceful society if we did not have show encouraging stupid
activities.
