In USA and Europe, wrestling and boxing have a wide popularity, like UFC and WWE. Does watching violence reduce the aggressive in human been ?
Yes, its impact may be there because societies are not same.
Previous research on the interrelationship on violent behaviour and watching violence is inconclusive, but is foremost not supporting that watching violent 'events' (movies etc) leads to violent behaviour. It is more the other way around. Violent people prefer to look at violent movies, play violent games. Best regards
Thanks Dr. Ben Levin.
I really notice that the governments did not take any procedure to prevent these sports.
Shows like that attract people psychologically skewed towards violence. Being a big business, it capitalizes on such an audience to increase profit, and creates a respective show atmosphere to advertise, promote, and glorify the winners.
Sometimes, it is interesting to see two equal fighters demonstrating polished offence and defense techniques, tactical and strategic decisions. But in many cases, it looks like a bloody business increasing violence of already violent ones, and disgusting many normal people.
Dear Dr. Ben Levin
President Trump attended WWE matches. Is that means he encourage these types of sports ?
http://www.wwe.com/superstars/donald-trump
Dear Dr. Mohannad Husain Al-Sherrawi,
You are welcome.
As far as your question about President Trump is concerned, before he became the U.S. President he was seriously and for a long time involved as a leading businessman in several big shows - one was beautiful girls competitions for Miss U.S.A and Miss World titles, and another one called 'Apprentice' was a TV competition of young people to become business leaders. The main business that brought to businessman Trump a world fame is building and selling houses.
As you can see, his business and life background is far from any kind of a bloody business and violence. When young, President Trump was a good sportsman and he is in general a very competitive person, so that he does like seeing big sport competitions. As a specialist in organizing big business events, he is looking at many business related aspects of sport shows. I do not know, if he was attending the WWE matches, but I do not think he's done it as a sign of violence support. It contradicts his entire professional background. Yet, he is a religious man!

Dear Dr. Mohannad Husain Al-Sherrawi,
I copied (from their home pages) below some info on UFC and WWE companies. My understanding is that UFC's business is basically in organizing and promoting matches in a mixed martial arts style, whereas WWE, in addition to matches in a professional wrestling business, also regularly performing shows involving professional wrestling. As they recognize: "In truth, the company serves as a touring theatre troupe, as well as event promotion body for its own events."
The bloody business as far as I feel are the UFC matches. WWE shows and the one that you brought with a "YouTube" attachment are shows where nobody is really hurt. Those are actors playing certain roles. I don't like these shows as they seem to have sort of a bad taste. However, it is not a real violence, it is just a theater. I cannot comment on the WWE wrestling matches as I have never looked at them.
"The Ultimate Fighting Championship is an American mixed martial arts-focused company, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, owned and operated by parent company William Morris Endeavor"
"World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (d/b/a WWE) is an American publicly traded, privately controlled entertainment company that deals primarily in professional wrestling, with revenue also coming from film, music, video games, product licensing, and direct product sales."
"A professional wrestling promotion (also federation or fed) is a company or business that regularly performs shows involving professional wrestling. "Promotion" also describes a role which entails management, advertising and logistics of running a wrestling event (see promoter). Within the convention of the show, the company is a sports governing body which sanctions wrestling matches and gives authority to the championships and is responsible for determining the divisions, rankings, etc. of wrestlers. In truth, the company serves as a touring theatre troupe, as well as event promotion body for its own events."

How Viewing Professional Wrestling May Affect Children
By Matthew J. Bernthal
This study investigated the effects on children of viewing professional wrestling. Elementary and middle school teachers (n = 370) were surveyed and asked to indicate (a) the popularity of professional wrestling among their students, (b) any preconceived notions they held about students who enjoy viewing professional wrestling, (c) their beliefs about spectator harm caused by professional wrestling, and (d) the nature and extent of their students’ imitation of verbal and other behavior from professional wrestling, as they had personally observed that imitation. The results of the survey, findings of prior literature, and research on marketing ethics together raise questions about the appropriateness of professional wrestling as sport-entertainment for children.

They are Olympic sports from a long time ago. They exhibit human talent, so I am neutral. The use of guns will certainly increase violence in society, because anyone can use them, not just able-bodied, talented people.
Thank you dear Michael Issigonis.
I appreciate your opinion.
So you believe that these types of sports have not any effect on human been behavior.
There is no correlation between either participation, training in, and watching MMA, and violence of any kind. Same logic applies to professional wrestling. Historically, both of these activities (or spectacles) have been extremely popular in Japan, yet it remains one of the least violent societies. Rates of violent crime are well below those seen in Western countries. Violence and aggression are inherently complex and I think it is best to avoid simplistic explanations. The roots can be found at the macro (political system, corruption, gross inequalities) as well as the micro (from temperament to attachment to proximal social systems) levels, and they vary from person to person.
Thank you Dr. David Joubert for your opinion. I really appreciated it.
MMA sends mixed messages about violence in sport
By Jon Mael
IF VIOLENCE is going out of fashion in sports, nobody’s told the fans.
Late last year, a capacity crowd of 20,427 people streamed in Madison Square Garden to witness Ultimate Fighting Championship 205. It was the first major mixed martial arts event to ever be contested in New York City. The stacked fight card drew a record gate and shattered pay-per-view records. For a night, spectators in the nation’s financial and performing arts capital watched eagerly for moves with names such as “guillotines,” “anaconda chokes,” “spinning back fists,” and “hook kicks” — the lingo of a sport that’s a mere quarter-century old and that keeps growing in popularity despite its brutal image, or maybe because of it.

The Impact of TV Violence on Children and Adolescents
One has only to turn on the TV to observe the growing proliferation of violent and aggressive content in today's media. A regular offering includes daytime talk shows, some of which are characterized by blatant emotional, psychological, and physical abuse by panel guests toward each other. WCW (World Champion Wrestling) is viewed by a growing number of Americans, many of whom include young children and adolescents who watch along side of their parents. Network news is littered with graphic renderings of murders, kidnappings, traffic accidents, international war scenes, and the like of which violence is the key component.
Prime time TV sports a number of shows that promote violence as a sanctioned means for settling conflicts. The good guys kill the bad guys, most often with an arsenal of weaponry that has become a commonplace possession for today's TV characters. How does all of this affect our children? What do we know about the impact of TV violence on our children's values, attitudes, and behavior? Actually, we know a lot.
There is a growing body of research that has tackled these very questions, and the results are in. TV violence can negatively effect our children on a number of levels. Let's begin with some general statistics, and then I will review the main research that has been conducted along with their findings.

It increased in recent warnings of psychology and sociology experts to allow children to watch the sport of wrestling or cartoon movies or the acquisition of addiction to electronic games based mostly on violence, and warned parents to bow to the demands of their children buying games that carry the same content, or the acquisition of baby supplies carrying pictures of the heroes of wrestling because this encourages them indirectly to violence .. calling for the need to organize campaigns to address these alien to our Arab and Islamic phenomena, which are based on encouraging competition by violence rather than encourage competition and upscale ability to compete .
He warned psychology and sociology experts, from the big risk for the continuation of parents to encourage children to watch those programs, movies, cartoons and buying games based on violence, despite knowing many of them seriousness by entertainment and entertainment, and obsession with children the sport of wrestling, and they imitate their movements within the circuit wrestling, because this will make them engage in aggressive behavior at home, school and the street .. pointing out that traders are taking advantage of children's obsession with such sport and import games that incite violence and promote their passion for the acquisition of more of them, as well as printing the heroes of these games Photos Li clothes and accessories including school children and home, to ensure the highest percentage of sales.

Chair Shots and Ladder Matches: The Role of Violence in Pro Wrestling

Nothing makes this point more clear than the news of the deaths of a “9 year old from North Carolina and 6 year old from Florida… [from trying to] imitat[e] wrestling moves,” seen on WWE programming

Some good studies in the state of New York show that more violence and sex in the television incides in an increasing number of successes of vilence and crimes in the New Yorker society.
Either increase or decrease violence in society is nowhere connect to watching WWF boxing or wrestling matches. Boxing and wrestling are just sports those who have interest/taste towards them take training and participate. And those who have interest/like to watch go and watch not everybody goes. Even TV programs too.
Violence is an inherent nature that exists in specific personalities. Simple example some youth attract towards terrorist activities, why??? It depends on nature/behaviour of that particular individual/personality and the society where they live and brought up.

Mohannad exceptions always be there.
Why all these! A simple example after Television has come and 'n' number of channels no kid is ready to play, always stick to TV neither complete home work nor study regularly. Absolutely no physical exercise. Either watching TV programs or playing computer games. Whom shall we blame!! I say not cent per cent follow, few of them do watch regularly (you have to keep on warn them), some of them are not watch (once in a while) good children. So this society has always good and bad elements.
I was a boxer in my youth up to my mid 20's and I enjoyed the training and even the competition. I went to see my Doctor for the required annual medical to box and he took me aside and told me boxing was doing me no good and would harm me if I continued. That was the last time I boxed and I have never regretted it. To answer the question i do think the proliferation of cage fighting , wrestling, video games, violence on television does have an impact. I leave it to you to look for studies and research to make up your own mind. We are rightly thinking of the effects of concussion on young brains and the long term effects on their health. I'm thinking not only of boxing but NFL participation in particular.
Thank you Mr. Terence David Inch for sharing us your experiment.
'Something in us likes violence': Why a professor (and others) would climb into a mixed martial arts cage
By Joe O'Connor
And the violence is clearly the draw: Nancy Cheever, a communications professor at California State University, Dominguez Hills, had seen MMA events on TV and wondered why anyone would watch such a brutal spectacle. So she interviewed 3,000 MMA fans for a study published in the Journal of Sport.
“Men get a visceral experience from watching MMA. It is like watching the gladiators, and maybe it is because they are not fighters themselves,” she says.
Gottschall admits even during all his years as a tennis-playing wimp he was a closet MMA fan. He would rent fight videos and watch them in his basement, feeling ashamed, but unable to look away.

MMA – a bad influence on society?
If you saw a person that you vaguely knew, fall over in the street, whack their head, and knock themselves unconscious, I’m sure you’d be pretty concerned…
Any normal person with an ounce of humanity would be concerned, perhaps upset?
However, put them next to yourself in a cage, to do combat…knocking that person out, suddenly becomes something to celebrate.
It’s something you’ll see during most UFC events, one guy face down, sparked out on the canvas, the other upon the cage, arms aloft, celebrating hysterically.
This can not look good to anyone who is cynical about the merits of MMA.
So what’s the difference between the cage and the street?

I would argue that boxing & wrestling does not encourage or sanction violence. Truly, violence is a reality of everyday life, not merely a construct of the boxing ring or the wrestling field. This is particularly true in those run-down communities that unsurprisingly, produce the best prizefighters.
The Martial Arts: A positive or negative influence in today's violent society?
By David Weeks
In an increasingly violent modern society, can a man who teaches physical combat be a positive role model?
There is a seemingly obvious contradiction in studying a combat art and claiming to be a peace-loving individual but, just as the personalities and moral characters of builders, actors, footballers and politicians vary greatly, so too do those of martial artists and boxers. Much as the balletic grace of stylised movie martial arts – which can often be beautiful to watch – contradicts the bloody savagery of mixed martial arts contests, so too can the outside-the-ring gentleness of pugilists appear contrary to their chosen profession.
Although martial arts were formulated as battlefield techniques and were honed in countless wars and violent upheavals, they also contain elements of philosophy and codes of conduct which provide a blueprint for a way of life and morality.

I personally have not seen such battles live, but the battles I've watched on TV are no more cruel than the movies I've seen. So violent movies are more dangerous and more harmful.
Thank you Dr. Anton Georgiev. WWE and UFC and others have weekly shows on TV.
I can across this recent research study by Andrew M. Sherrill, Lauren T. Bradel, (2017) "Contact sport participation predicts instrumental aggression, not hostile aggression, within competition: quasi-experimental evidence", Journal of Aggression, Conflict and Peace Research, Vol. 9 Issue: 1, pp.50-57, https://doi.org/10.1108/JACPR-01-2016-0207
The findings in the research study suggests that the form of aggression associated and referencesd with contact sport participation is found to be predominately instrumental.
Interested article Dr. Salma Siddique, thank you very much.
Dear Mohannad Husain Al-Sherrawi
It does not seem to me that to diminish the spectacles of fights, boxing and sports competitions between teams, increase the aggressiveness: it could even be a healthy relief of the contained tension and aggressiveness of the people who see these spectacles.
The genesis of aggressiveness can be found in the nucleus of dysfunctional families, alcoholism and drug addiction, as well as lack of paternal care and affection.
Another source of aggressiveness is a very unequal society, with few opportunities for development and welfare of the majority and privileges of the oligarchy. In underdeveloped or developing countries, with autocratic governments or imperfect democracies; Adds to this situation, corruption and impunity.
regards
Jose Luis
Estimado Mohannad Husain Al-Sherrawi
No me parece que el disminuir los espectáculos de luchas, boxeo y competencias deportivas entre equipos, aumente la agresividad: incluso pudiera ser un desahogo sano de la tensión y agresividad contenida de las personas que ven dichos espectáculos.
La génesis de la agresividad se puede encontrar en el núcleo de familias disfuncionales, alcoholismo y drogadicción, además de falta de cuidado y afecto paternos.
Otra fuente de agresividad es una sociedad muy desigual, con pocas oportunidades de desarrollo y bienestar de la mayoría y privilegios de la oligarquía. En países subdesarrollados o en vías de desarrollo, con gobiernos autocráticos o con democracias imperfectas; se suma a dicha situación, la corrupción y le impunidad.

Dear Dr. José Luis García Vigil
First thank you for your answer, which I respect it.
Dear if these shows have no effects on the violence in society, then why they said
"Please do not try this at home or school" ?

The "do not try at home" is an attempt at preventing accidental injuries resulting from role-playing ( a form of play), not intentional aggression or violence. These statements are also intended to protect the companies from lawsuits as well as negative public image resulting from media coverage of accidents.
On another note, many comments from academics on this topic that can be found in the media, literature, etc. seem more ideological and value-driven than empirically-informed. Perhaps this says something about academia's investment in safe keeping social mores (aggression as distasteful and unacceptable in any shape or form).
'Something in us likes violence': Why a professor (and others) would climb into a mixed martial arts cage
By Joe O'Connor
Maybe the real question isn’t why we like watching men fight, but why wouldn’t we like watching men fight?
“We all say we hate violence,” says Gottschall. “But we are still shovelling it in our faces, consuming a huge diet of violent entertainment through movies and video games and sports, and so I think we should just admit it: something in us likes violence.”
He’s right: the most watched television event in the United States each year is a stylized version of hand-to-hand combat known as the Super Bowl. The Olympics feature the javelin, hammer throw, shot put and other assorted feats of strength, speed and endurance. All skills that can win a modern competitor a gold medal, but were applied equally well in ancient Greece when it came time to strap on the swords and defend the frontier.

As the Rio Olympics are under starter's orders new martial arts have already been confirmed for Tokyo in 2020.
Now it is confirmed that Karate will join Taekwondo, Judo, boxing and fencing in the Olympic pantheon of martial arts and wrestling will also return.
UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta said: "The Olympics are a business and they want to attract those younger viewers for all these big television deals.
"Where we're going with UFC, eventually we (MMA) will be part of the Olympics."
UFC fighter Dan Henderson said: "As a former Olympian, it would be great to see the sport I love compete at the international level."

Jonathan Gottschall felt stuck. He was 38 and making about $16,000 a year teaching English on contract at Washington & Jefferson, a small liberal arts college in Washington, Pa., just outside of Pittsburgh.
[np_storybar title=”Read an excerpt from The Professor in the Cage” link=”http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/k-o-in-under-60″%5D [/np_storybar]
Harvard was never going to call. And his students didn’t care; they never showed up at his weekly office hours. To pass the time, he would stare out the windows of the faculty lounge, searching for a new path in life.
Then one day there it was, right across the street: Mark Shrader’s Mixed Martial Arts Academy, a cage fighting gym.
“I could actually look out the window and see the guys in the cage, young guys, dancing and hitting and grappling and fighting,” Gottschall says.
“They were so alive in their world while I was rotting away in mine. I started having this fantasy in my head about getting up from my desk and joining them.”
Eventually, he did. His body is now shot through with tendinitis, and his neck aches from an unfortunate encounter with a 120-plus-kilo adversary. But he now knows how to choke another man unconscious or twist off their arm, if need be.
Gilberto Tadday
It is a story he tells in The Professor in the Cage, a new book about one man’s journey from struggling academic to mixed martial arts badass, but also about some fundamental questions: why do men fight, and why do we like to watch them?
Little boys fight. Canada’s Public Health Agency reports about 20% of Canadian boys in Grade 6 get in a fight each year. But fighting behaviour decreases with age, as does our tolerance for it. Anti-bullying campaigns now abound in schools and in the workplace. Personal scores and business disputes end with lawsuits, instead of pistols at dawn or fists in an alleyway.
Much of the violence we commit is now done at arm’s length — by way of technology. Canadian soldiers charged up Vimy Ridge in 1917. Today, a drone might do the trick. The most dangerous behaviour most North American men engage in is driving a car. And there is a good chance it is a minivan, a boxy emblem of masculine decline.

Does seeing boxing and wrestling matches increase or decrease violence in society?
I think it depends on numerous factors like age groups, maturity levels, skill levels of the martial arts, types of martial art etc. Younger people might be negatively affected by watching the violent matches due to lesser self-control. More matured people might not resort to violent acts as they know there is a price to pay when someones get hurt. Martial artists that have the deep level skill might not resort to violent acts because they know their skill can hurt / kill their opponents. Last but not least, certain martial arts are relatively more self-defense oriented / less violent like Judo, Jujitsu, Akido etc. vs other martial arts which are relatively more aggressive like Karate, Kungfu, Taekwondo, Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA etc.
I personally don't fancy these as mere forms of entertainment- I see them as influencers of acts of violence irrespective of the age range of its viewers.
Dickson Adom
It does increase violence in young impressionable minds who feel that this more than mere a spectacle to glorify the basic instinct innate in human beings specially our earliest ancestors who depended on 'might' and 'brawn' rather than logic and intellect.
The activity only targeting an area of the opponent that when hit would injure internally or physically to make him weak to the extend of sometimes resulting to death. To me, this so called recreational take away both the competitors and the cheering Spectators their sense of sympathy. This at the end makes both parties not reasonable in hurting any other should he be angered.
May be it is different from one to another. For me it doesn't affect my behavior.
If the education of our children is guaranteed with the discernment of right and wrong at this time boxing and wrestling that are certainly spectacular and violent sports can not at any time have a negative impact on them
These may have some effects on life and behaviour of the boxers and wrestlers themselves, but may not influence other common people. But the violent films and internet sites with provocations for violence influence people much more, specially the teen agers and young people.
Dear Mohannad Husain Al-Sherrawi,
Thank you for your very interesting question! Sports? I don't think, it increases violence in society. A lot of my students and friends are fond of fighting of all kinds. They are absolutely adequate and interesting personalities. They just practice techniques of fighting.As a rule, fighters are trusted friends with the true spirit of the individuals. They are both willing in spirit and strong of the flesh. Big-time sport develops not only muscles, but also affective tolerance. Why do men fight? Our fairy tales, detectives, novels, epics are about good vs. evils, and we believe, that "good should be with fists", and "if we fight, it'll be for the greater good".Every pro requires above all a high moral character. I'm against aggressive cartoons, horror movies, sports shows (like gladiators' ones) or violent virtual games. Their main idea is violence for the sake of violence. I think, these violent genres cause aggression among mentally immature personalities- children and teens. The dangerous social groups are the adults, having the problems with psyche, or those who have been psychologically traumatized by the wars, violence, humiliation, or with drug addiction or with the feeling of uselessness and unclaimedness. A free and anonymous psychological service must be expanded and the basic needs of every personality should be supplied to prevent society from the acts of aggression.
Terrorism, wars, extremely serious crimes are results of watching sports programmes, aren't they?I doubt, that criminals watch TV.
Well, my intelligent and normal friends, let's watch TV programmes, leading to degradation and read propaganda ''s information everywhere.
Yes, this is what the Pandora has confirmed in the theory of learning by imitation
Yes. I think so
Boxing and wrestling matches increase violence in society,
A study done in 2008 in America showed there was a direct link between watching wrestling on television and teenage violence and antisocial behaviour. The study was led by Robert H. DuRant, Ph.D, of Wake Forest University, and the findings were that as the frequency of watching wrestling increases, the incidents of risky behaviour increase proportionately. The study found disturbing trends such as the fact that those interviewed who had hurt someone with a deadly weapon watched 67% more wrestling than those who did not. This study did not stay in the realms of violence alone, it explored other social factors as well. It found that those that did not use birth control while engaging in sexual activity watched 42% more wrestling than those that did use birth control. It seems that young people get the wrong messages from wrestling, glorified violence, the degradation of women, sexuality associated with violence and extreme verbal and physical abuse and bullying. Even though this study was an isolated event and needed further research to confirm the findings, it still showed a disturbing trend among teenagers who watched wrestling.
Most certainly. See https://christinevandevelde.com/journalism/1999bing.asp where watching violence on TV by children increased their aggressive behavior
Albert Bandura, psychologist, has done a great deal of work in this area.
It will certainly have some level of negative influence in our society, especially on the behavior of teenagers and children between 3 to 15 years old.
That's why parental guidance is strictly advised for children within this age bracket
I think no. Because it reduces need of fight. When they see a fight for hours, people are getting mentally tired. They experience not the same level as sportsmen, but some adrenaline.
M.Tetvadze
I think they do contribute to increasing social violence.
It would be necessary to speak of other television events, films, dramatized, online applications with subliminal information that induces this phenomenon called social violence.
What are the true intentions of the broad display of violence?
Definitely YES.....It increase violence in our society and it have negative impact on the mental growth of youngster.
