Please help me to correct my essay. I really appreciate it! :D
Agree & disagree
Movies and televisions should always show audience good people are being rewarded and bad people are being punished.


With the rapid development of media market, there are increasing numbers of people who are concerned about whether movies and televisions play crucial roles in education. Some people assert that movies and TV programs should always convey some moral ideas, such as a charitable person would be appreciated and a bad one would be punished in the end, yet it’s not surprising that others have opposite attitudes toward this statement. Despite diverse opinions aired by different people based on their personal stances, there can be no doubt that it’s not necessary for a movie director to produce movies with similar plot all the time.

First of all, seeing movies in theater and watching TV program at home are the most popular and common ways for people to relax and kill time. It is quite clear that most audiences don’t prefer to watch TV programs which with serious subjects or movies with similar stories. Parents would like to take their children to see interesting animated cartoons, lovers want to see romance films and engineers may prefer to watch amusing Talk Shows which could help them to reduce stresses and strains. As you can see, our boring lives could be enriched by watching different kinds of movies and TV programs and it’s no necessary to enforce movie directors to produce such dull movies.

Another reason worth mentioning is that educated people have basic capabilities to distinguish what kinds of behavior are appropriate or not. What’s more, it’s not the TV producers’ responsibilities to encourage the citizens to perform well. Since all the audiences have open-minded attitudes toward all kinds of programs, directors and producers should follow their own feeling to create more movies which could inspire or touch viewers deeply. For instance, Avatar is the most famous and best-selling movies to date and it not only reflects the getting worse environmental issues but also presents a crucial landmark of movie industry. It’s no denying that this kind of fascinating movie also influences us in a positive way.

By the large, movies and TV programs play significant roles in our lives and they are not merely a means of education. People want to release their stresses by seeing movies and directors could show their creativities by making diverse movies. After taking all the aspects into consideration, I firmly insist that movies and TV programs which not show that good people should be reward or bad people would be punished are worth more than we thought.

This sentence has a "double negative" meaning that there is 2 different negative statements used within the sentence. The first negative is "no doubt" and then the second is "not necessary". When using negative statements in a sentence it is usually advised to avoid using more than one per sentence. This is because they can cancel each other out, or create confusion about the intended meaning.

I would try to shorten this sentence and to remove one of the negative statements.
