| Literature is a powerful tool in where, It helps us to reflect on our own lives, and in
discussion with others as well. It has the ability to influence and control one’s life.
Nowadays, online reading and writing platforms such as Wattpad, Commaful and Inkitt , are
becoming so popular especially among youngsters. However, most of the digital writing and
reading platforms are uncontrolled free platforms, in where at some points there are contents
which shouldn’t be available to some particular age groups that can become a very negative
influence.
There have been numerous researches about the behavioural changes and violence among the
teenagers due to the impact of few types of contents which shouldn’t be available to
particular age group people.My research findings indicates that one of a factor of teenagers
developing violence is, from the exposure of unfitting contents that they read on the online
platforms. The development of such aggressive behaviour places the teens at serious risk for
future maladaptation in the form of continued aggression, conduct problems, and overall
difficulties in the domain of social relationships.
The effect of media violence on aggression has always been a trending issue, and a better
understanding of the psychological mechanism of the impact of media violence on youth
aggression is an extremely important research topic for preventing the negative impacts of
media violence and juvenile delinquency. Hence, by developing a reading and writing
platform in where, it could restrict the literature contents based on the users’ age, surely can
become a solution to this particular emerging problem. Nevertheless, experts should do more
researchers about how the literatures effects the behavioural and psychological traits in
youngsters especially during the peak usage of advancing digital literacy platforms. |
