http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-42956475Two researchers one named Raj Aich and Soosie Lucas are currently studying how cage diving impacts human interaction with great white sharks. Over the past year they have interviewed more than 150 cage divers within twenty different countries. Those who participated in this experiment later reported that they had more of a positive attitude towards the sharks after the cage dive. The fear of great white sharks sparked forty years ago when the blockbuster movie Jaws came out terriyzing many about sharks. Now as the generation that grew up with the blockbuster movie has gone down many new generations still fear sharks. Due to movies, shows and photos they see with sharks. Many of these sharks are being targeted as human consumption, hunting, and fishing games nowadays. They maybe capable of explosive violence , but they are not aggresive like many forms of media portray them. Lastly, many shark attacks have gone down drastically since the past year. Also, those who have participated in the experiment found the sharks to be peaceful and calm. In which made them realize that the sharks aren't as bad as we think they are. This is important because we can't let media determine how an animal really is until we face to face interaction with that particular animal.
