Yes, I believe that the media does help to contribute to crime. The media plays a powerful role in society, influencing public opinion and shaping cultural norms and values (Collins et al., 2017). Research has found that media portrayals of criminal behavior can have a strong effect on how people view criminality and subsequent attitudes towards individuals charged with crimes (Gutierrez & Miller 2011). For example, news broadcasts frequently feature stories highlighting violent acts or other serious offenses which reinforces the notion that such behavior is commonplace and acceptable when it reality this may not be the case.
Furthermore, certain media outlets tend to portray criminals as either victims or heroes which can lead viewers to sympathize with those who engage in illegal activities by excusing their actions due to social injustice or poverty. This type of coverage gives viewers an inaccurate representation of what constitutes criminal behavior while also normalizing immoral actions such as theft or assault (Kotler et al., 2013). Moreover, these types of stories often fail depict potential ramifications for offenders leaving many viewers believing that committing a crime carries no lasting consequences despite overwhelming evidence that it does.
In conclusion , there is a clear correlation between our consumption of media content and increasing levels of criminality . Media outlets need to be more mindful about how they report on crime so as not provide undue sympathy for convicted criminals nor glamorize illegal activity . By taking steps towards eliminating biased reporting we can create an environment where lawbreaking is discouraged rather than glorified.
“The uncommon exhaustiveness of Kautilyas’ work, its prominent inductiveness and viable character, its resolute rationale, lack of regard of extrinsic good or religious standard and its extensive variety of subjects and interests gave it a remarkable blend of features..”[1]

A man brimming with vision; he was constantly arranged for the most noticeably bad. He had the guts to talk his heart out even before the rulers. He himself lived such a real existence, rejecting all enhancements, empathy towards poor people and insidiousness to trickery when required which demonstrates a portion of his great attributes of nature.

LIFE SKETCH OF KAUTILYA –
Lamentably There isn’t certainity about the day and age of the Kautilya So, subtleties of his introduction to the world and life are not reliable and we need to depend on convention. The normal time of the Kautilya is from 350-283 B.C.E. There are not very many genuine chronicled realities about his introduction to the world and demise with the exception of that he caused Chandragupta to mount the honored position, to fortify his domain and to join the
Indian states for battling against Alexander of Macedonia around 327 B.C.E. Chandragupta Maurya built up the Mauryan Empire in the year 321 B.C.E. Kautilya was likely conceived around 350 B.C.E. This demonstrates Kautilya was junior contemporary of Aristotle (384-322 B.C.E.). There is no evidence that Kautilya was influenced by Aristotleâ€ÿs thought. A few students of history have “addressing about Kautilyaâ€ÿs presence”. His place of birth isn’t guaranteed. Some state that he got the name Chanakya on the grounds that he was conceived in China. The Buddhist notices his origination as Takshashila while Jaina sacred text notice his origin as Chanak in Gola area of South India. As per one adaptation, origin of Chanakya was Dravida so one of the Chanakyaâ€ÿs different names was Dramila. Some trusts his origin was Patliputra. Be that as it may, Kautilyaâ€ÿs origin will keep on residual a debate. Kautilya had two other two names – Chanaka and vishnugupta. As he was conceived in the town of chanaka, he was called chanakya , Dr. Ganapati Shastri is of the conclusion that he was conceived in the ‘ kutala’ gotra. Consequently he was named as Kautilya. His folks gave him the name of Vishnugupta at ‘namkaran’ ceremony.[4]
At the point when Kautilya was conceived, he had favored with the full arrangement of teeth, which demonstrated that youngster will move toward becoming lord or sovereign.
Rishi Chanak was a Kautilya’s dad who was found out Brahmin. He was an educator instructor so he knew the significance of training. He began showing his child Kautilya in his initial age.
In his initial age, Kautilya was knowledgeable in Vedas; however he remembered them totally at early age, At that old time, the Vedas were considered as the hardest sacred text to think about. He was likewise shown arithmetic, geology and science alongside religion. Ideal from his youth, Kautilyaâ€ÿs insight and smarts was noticeable and successful. His most loved subject was Politics. Kautilya had seen extremely troublesome conditions from his youth. His father,Chanak was savvy, better than average and self regarded Brahmin. He restricted bad form or everlasting deeds. The false and haughty lord Dhannanda disliked him normally. The ruler disparated the rightness of Chanak so he bugged Chanakâ€ÿs family for phony reasons. Chanak was placed in jail by the ruler. He kicked the bucket in jail. Nobody raised a voice against the unfairness with Chanak. Kautilya was an almost no kid that time. He was to a great degree miserable due to his fatherâ€ÿs passing and foul play occurred with his family. After his fatherâ€ÿs demise, his life was likewise in threat. So he left Patliputra by taking a promise that he would return and battle against shamefulness and deliver retribution against Dhannanda. Kautilya had his training at a popular college of Takshashila which was exceptionally rumored one around then.
Being a Brahmin of solid assurance anf solid will, he thought to render retribution from Nanda – King of Patliputra. He left the capital mortified and he went to scan for a warrior. On his way, he ran over the youthful Chandragupta. He found in the last a promising young fellow and began the battle for his establishment on the position of authority of Magadha. Their First endeavor Proved to be a disappointment. Anyway in the long run, Chandragupta regrouped his powers, overpowered the borderstates and propelled assault on the capital. The underhanded ruler Dhannanda best of Nanda administration wa gifted in 322BC. Accordingly another tradition Maurya was built up with Chandragupta Maurya enthroned as the lord of Magadha in 321 BC and ruled upto 298 BC.
The credit for this triumph goes to kautilya broadly acknowledged name whose conciliatory aptitude and all encompassing information of organization empowered Chandragupta, his understudy not exclusively to triumph against the Nandas yet additionally merge his empire.[5]
