- Make a list of 5 films that you consider to have violent conduct
- Research these films and find out the age certificate
- Write a sentence whether you think the age certificate is appropriate
- Feed back to the class
Green Street Hooligans
- The age certificate is 18
- I agree with this as there is lots of fights and swearing and blood and someone dies by getting beaten to death
Deadpool
- The age certificate is 15
- I agree with this as the only scene that may be when someone gets there arm chopped off
Django Unchanged
- The age certificate is 18
- I agree as it contains strong bloody violence and someone gets killed with a hammer
Moral panic is when the media creates fear in the population over issue that appears to threaten or harm normal social order
Examples of moral panic:
The purge influenced killer clowns here is an article from the daily mirror:
Dr Lynes said phobia of clowns, serial killers, social media, films like the Purge and forthcoming Halloween were behind the terrifying craze sweeping the nation.
He added: "It is important to consider the significance of Coulrophobia, which is a fear of clowns. Clowns possess both human and inhuman qualities which can result in disturbing some individuals.
"This phobia is arguably perpetuated by the contemporary “evil clown” archetype developed in the 1980s, notably popularized by Stephen King’s It, and perhaps influenced by John Wayne Gacy , a real-life serial killer dubbed the Killer Clown in 1978.
