Authors : Kefali Walid .

Abstract

The current study endeavors to shed light on the phenomenon of violence in Algerian secondary schools and traces some of its roots to the onscreen violence that pupils are exposed too while consuming cinematic productions or otherwise violent media content. It argues that cinema desensitized teenage pupils towards all kinds of violence via the excessive screening of graphic scenes and imagery without any warnings or PG Rated signs display. Additionally, the study makes use of survey conducted in five secondary schools in Khenchela province to uncover the traumatic effects of violence in movies and its implication on teenage pupils. Furthermore, the study examines the absence of PG rating signs on most channels and film sources viewed by teenagers without parental guidance and deploys content analysis of several top grossing box-office movies viewed by teenagers and account for violent scenery per film. More importantly, the study makes use Mise-en-scène analysis of several violent scenes from the prior movies and their effects on teenagers. Finally, the study concludes that onscreen violence undoubtedly plays a huge role in initiating teenagers to violence and desensitizing them towards brutality.
