Youtube and others showing death and suffering?!


Question: Youtube and others showing death and suffering!?
Do you think this has an effect on your mental health if you watch themWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hello,

(ANS) One question here begs another, which is!. Is it morally or ethically acceptable for the owners of a site like "You Tube" to allow such content to be upload & shown on the site in the first place!.

NOTE: There is the "freedom of speech" argument but it has to have limits even within a society or culture that would define itself as democratic!.

**My personal opinion is that any website like You Tube should NOT be allowed to show any images or movie clips which includes extreme forms of behavior such as Sadism or Sadistic torture, killings, sexual suffering, or suffering of any kind!. YES! we can choose NOT to watch such images but the question is really about weather its OK or NOT for such images to be put into the public domain in the first place!. I don't think they should!.

**My philosophy is :- Do no harm to others, especially do no harm to women or children or elderly people, those who are vulnerable!. Try to leave a situation or person in a better condition than when you came, try always to walk lightly on the earth!.

**We have a choice, viewing such horrible images does us more harm than benefit!. We already know how humans can behave at worst if allowed to do so, we know the depths of mans inhumanity to man!. Surely we do have a moral & spiritual responsability NOT to knowingly spread hurt & suffering when it can be avoided!.

i love youtube and i have never seen death and suffering on there!.!.!.so if the person is looking for that kinda thing then that's on him or her!. i don't look for things of that nature on youtube!. i would hope that youtube would have some type of filters and would not allow such gruesome videos on death and suffering!.

i am sure if a mentally ill person was to watch things like that, it would have some effect!.!.!.not really sure what type of effect though!. maybe depression, anger and grief!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know if it would actually effect all people the same way!.!.!.

some may be able to watch them and then forget them!.!.!.!.

some may actually *enjoy* the scenes ( I would say that such people already have mental health issues)

some may watch them and it may set off depression ( which in itself is a mental illness!.

remember the Website ROTTEN !.!.!. I know a few people who practically lived on that site ( in the days before YOUTUBE) !.!. and they definitely had Issues!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are some truly shocking, deeply upsetting videos of animal cruelty and other such things on there!.!.!.!.

BUT!.!.!.

I think in many ways this is a good thing, as it can make more people truly aware of whats going on in a way that they wouldn't have been before, and they may well be inspired to do something about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes!
Don't watch them - you are also supporting it by creating a demand - there are enough sh!.it things going on in the world & i am sure by the end of your life you will have images that you can't erase from your mind no matter how you try - don't volunteer for more!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It might harden those who watch as violent video games are said to do!. Can't be good for mental health!. Last night in a queue to buy Grand Theft Auto 4 someone had an argument and a stabbing took place!. Mmmmm - could there be a connection!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Depends on your age, mental stability and how graphic the material is!. I personally think it probably isn't healthy for anyone to watch that stuff!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's not compulsory to watch them
However, if you do it is going to have some affect on your outlook to life and your attitudes to other human beingsWww@Answer-Health@Com
