How do movies or TV influence people’s behavior?

Movies and TV are great sources of entertainment and they influence people's behaviour based on the type of content they consume. Personally, I believe that both good and bad values can be imbibed from the type of movies and TV shows a person watches. I feel this way for two reasons which I will explore in the following essay.
To begin with, watching movies and TV shows which portray good family values, harmony among people and in the society have a positive effect. They inspire a person to do good in life and instil values of sympathy, empathy, honesty and motivate them to achieve their goals. My personal experience is a compelling example of this. Watching shows like The Modern Family and Friends has made me realize the importance of family and friends in life. These shows make me feel that no matter what conflicts or difficulties one faces in their life, friends and family will always be there for each other no matter what.
On the contrary, violent shows can draw out unusual behaviour or might disturb a person's mental peace. Continuous consumption of violent content might make a person aggressive. It could make one feel like violence is the answer to all their problems and even a small conflict might result in huge fights or brawls. Even though there are regulations for TV and movies while being broadcasted but illegal downloading of such content is not an unknown fact. Such violent content ending up in the wrong hands like a teenager could result in adverse personality disorders from a young age. For instance, a teenager watching movies that have too much violence and extreme bloodshed all the time could lead him/her to have psychological problems.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that it is up to the person to choose what type of movies and TV shows they watch and what values they learn from it because as the saying goes, there are two sides to a coin, one good, the other bad.
Can someone please evaluate this Independent writing task of TOEFL ?

Hi
sorry to say but this essay is at most 4 out of five because is a bit on the shortest side and does not address fully the stem with specific examples
This is an essay rated five from the (now old) 5th edition. Now with the new TOEFL test we do have the new OG but nothing changed for the Independent Task
There is a lot of differences as you can see
see our resources still valid to tackle the TOEFL Ibt even though the exam slightly changed since then
Moreover, punctuation is inconsistent

Archaeologists have recently found a fossil of a 150-million-year-old mam-mal known as Repenomomus robustus (R. robustus). Interestingly, the mammal's stomach contained the remains of a psittacosaur dinosaur. Some researchers have therefore suggested that R. robustus was an active hunter of dinosaurs. However, a closer analysis has made the hypothesis that R. robustus was an active hunter unlikely. It was probably Just a scavenger that sometimes fed on dinosaur eggs containing unhatched dinosaurs.
First, R. robustus, like most mammals living 150 million years ago, was small—only about the size of a domestic cat. It was much smaller than psittacosaurs, which were almost two meters tall when full grown. Given this size difference, it is unlikely that R. robustus would have been able to successfully hunt psittacosaurs or similar dinosaurs.
Second, the legs of R. robustus appear much more suited for scavenging than hunting: they were short and positioned somewhat to the side rather than directly underneath the animal. These features suggest that R. robustus did not chase after prey. Psittacosaurs—the type of dinosaur found in the stomach of R. robustus—were fast moving. It is unlikely that they would have been caught by such short-legged animals.
Third, the dinosaur bones inside the stomach of the R. robustus provide no evidence to support the idea that the dinosaur had been actively hunted. When an animal has been hunted and eaten by another animal, there are usually teeth marks on the bones of the animal that was eaten. But the bones of the psittaco-saur inside the R. robustus stomach do not have teeth marks. This suggests that R. robustus found an unguarded dinosaur nest with eggs and simply swallowed an egg with the small psittacosaur still inside the eggshell.
