inadvisability 
of excessive drinking, car racing, drug using and other

partly to social violence and to the audience's aggressive thoughts and behaviour. However, there is no 
simple  cause-and-effect  relationship  between  media  violence  and  societal  violence  and  both  have 
multiple causes.
