Hollywood Impact On World?

Does Hollywood Have Negative impact On world?
Yes
Edutopia says:
Hollywood has both a positive and negative impact on the world though I'd argue that it does more good (as long as you are not working in it).
GiselleToner says:
I don't know about the world as such but it is frightening to know that America today has 80% of the serial killers in the world. Makes one wonder if that is due to all the serial killer movies Hollywood produces each year. Something to think about
Joie says:
It's frightening to see the terrible things happening in the world re-enacted by copycats. It's worse to see tragedies happen to children because they copied things they learned in the movies.
Holidayhomerentals says:
Planet of the Apes for me has the best twist ever! Great lens!
pheonix76 says:
Hollywood movies tend to promote and even sometimes glorify bad behavior -- not a great message to send the world!
No
aquarian_insight says:
I don't think we can generalise. It's just a medium.
mihgasper says:
Hollywood is just a symptom!
garyr_h says:
No.
AllPurposePapoon says:
I don't think Hollywood is the problem, people are. I think it's a shame that many people don't have the sense to distinguish entertainment from real life. I don't believe in censorship, unless it exploits children and if someone doesn't like a program, turn it off.
lovelylashes says:
Hollywood does negatively influence some people, but it's the people who negatively impact themselves.
