...“Cartoons on Children” As for the beginning, I would like to recall your childhood memories. When you were a kid, do you like to watch cartoons? Is anyone in this room interested in Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon? I still remember, when I was in primary school, the Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon will be on air every Saturday and Sunday, at 9 am. So today, I'm not going to talk further about dragon ball or Sailor Moon, but I want to share about the adverse effects of cartoons on children. Typically, children begin watching cartoons on television at an early age of six months, and by the age two or three years, children become excited viewers. This has become an acute problem because too many children are watching too much television and the shows that they are watching, even if they are cartoons, have become violent and addictive. Unfortunately, children watch the cartoons on television and they see material that is not appropriate for their age of group. The Children who watch too much cartoons on television are more likely to have behavioral problems, along with brain and eye injuries and increase risks in child safety. The first effect is behavioral problems. Some cartoons, even the main character in the cartoon show shows a bad behavior. They always watch the cartoons characters and trying to act like the cartoons. Not only the actions, but the children will also follow the behavior showed by the cartoons. Why am I saying this? It is because it has happened to my little cousin, which...

...Children have become much more interested in cartoons over many years and it has become a primary action to some lives. Typically, children begin watching cartoons on television at an early age of six months, and by the age two or three children become enthusiastic viewers. This has become a problem because too many children are watching too much television and the shows that they are watching cartoons have become violent and addictive. The Children who watch too much cartoons on television are more likely to have mental and emotional problems, along with brain and eye injuries and unexpectedly the risk of a physical problem increases. Education • According to a report titled "The Effects of Cartoon Characters as Motivators of Preschool Disadvantaged Children," cartoon characters stimulate interpersonal behavior, learning and social growth. Children associate with cartoon characters more readily than adults in many cases and tend to retain the lessons imparted more readily. If a cartoon character conveys an educational or moral lesson, then it can help speed up the learning process in children. Violence • Many cartoons depict scenes of violence or danger, yet whitewash the effects of that violence. For instance, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle may beat up a bad guy in one scene, only to see that bad guy appear unharmed in the next scene. Without proper lessons to counterbalance those effects, children may grow up aggressive and eager to engage in violence...

...Are modern-day cartoons getting degraded? Chapter 2: Literature review Nobody will deny the fact that modern-day cartoons make big influence on children all over the world. It is a grave issue which affects all the members of the society. Basically, this problem starts from parents, who don’t spend their free time with children and don’t pay attention on children’s growing stage. Parents should follow their children; a child needs to feel love of parents, their attention and presence. Amy and Cantor (2000) maintain that if parents do not attract attention to their children, later children will not very fun to love historically and began to beat, pinching other people, imitating the heroes in the cartoons. Parents, teachers, psychologists ask themselves whether it is dangerous for the emerging modern cartoons for child's psyche or not? What is the best choice for child: foreign or domestic cartoons? Is it necessary to let the kids watch cartoon, whether they are useful or not? Cartoons are loved by kids of all ages not by chance.

...The Effect of T.V. Cartoon Network on the Aggressive Behavior of Grade One Pupils in Brion-Silva Elementary School A Title Proposal Presented to DR. JOCELYN CASTILLO In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements In EDUC 501 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY By: MELANNIE D. ARCENAS MAED-EM CHAPTER I The Problem and Its Background Introduction The environment in the twenty-first century is media rich. People of all ages are surrounded by media from morning until night. We hear it greet us on our alarm clocks or on the radio in our vehicles, see it on billboards outside or in magazines while waiting for the doctor, and view it using computers, playing gaming devices or when watching television. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents school going children to no more than 1 to 2 hours of quality educational television content per day, and that children under the age of two not be exposed to any type of television or screen time at all (Anderson & Pempek, 2005; AAP, 1995; Anderson et al., 2003). These limits are prescribed to allow for children’s developing minds to use imagination, explore the world and increase physical activity and interaction with family or friends (Funk, Brouwer, Curtiss & McBroom, 2009). However, parents and other adults seem to be taking this recommendation lightly. One of the largest national studies of preschool-aged media effects, the Kaiser Family Report (2003), showed that the use...

...Cartoon Violence Beronica Martinez HUMM/266 November 8, 2010 Lori Robertson Title of Paper Cartoon Violence Many forms of art exist all around the world, such as paintings, sculptures, music, and videos. Art influences people and communities in many ways including the types of legal and moral issues involving art and its targeted audience. One form of art in particular is cartoons. Many types of cartoons are available like animated people, animated animals, and cartoons just for children and even cartoons for adults, which are mostly referred to as anime. Adult cartoons are usually extremely violent or contain high sexual content. Many issues involving violence in cartoons are unnoticeable such as desensitizing children, increasing their aggressiveness, and decreasing their fear of becoming victims in real life. All children are influenced by what they see in their daily television shows and when these happen to be violent cartoons they become negatively affected. Cartoons are presented to children with colorful and goofy characters but many of these shows have a lot of violence portrayed in them. Young children do not understand the morals and ethical issues in these cartoons and are unable to depict what is reality and what is fantasy. Of course, it is fantasy but when children are unable to distinguish the difference between the two they may try to carry out an act they have seen while viewing the show because they found it humorous...

...Introduction: Satellite channels broadcast dozens of cartoons and children's programs, which continue to 24 hours without interruption, through television screens. These programs carry different goals and messages addressed to children who spend the majority of their time in front of them. Animation, in general, is able to attract children through the imagination and the aesthetics of technology that characterize it. Hence, it makes children sitting in front of the television screens for several hours watching their favorite programs and merging with them as a part of real life which inevitably affects their psychological and mental states as well as their impression on the reality of life. As a result, cartoon programs play a crucial factor...

...TOPIC: Impact of Different Cartoon Shows on the Academic Performance of Grade Seven Pupils Cartoons: A cartoon is a form of two-dimensional illustrated visual art. While the specific definition has changed over time, modern usage refers to a typically non-realistic or semi-realistic drawing or painting intended forsatire, caricature, or humor, or to the artistic style of such works. An artist who creates cartoons is called a cartoonist. The term originated in the Middle Ages and first described a preparatory drawing for a piece of art, such as a painting, fresco, tapestry, or stained glass window. In the 19th century, it came to refer to humorous illustrations in magazines and newspapers, and in the early 20th century and onward it referred to comic strips and animated films. Author Unknown. Cartoons . Retrieved September 1, 2004, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoon Television Viewing has been found to affect the way children think about various occupations and their beliefs about how one should behave in order to succeed in life. Heavy viewers, for instance, are more likely to believe that self confidence is of great importance. They are also most likely to pay attention to the outward signs of social status and to agree with statements such as “You can tell how important a man is from the way he dressed.” In general, heavy viewers are more stereo typed in their thinking mas media refer more frequently to specific reasons why a person would behave in a particular...

...competitive. The matter in hand focuses on how to develop an engagement platform for children to connect better with the school program. Now the question a person may ask is why target children? It is observed that the people most affected by the diarrhea and other fatal diseases are children. On top of this the awareness level of these diseases in Pakistan especially in the rural areas is quite low. The following plan will focus on the aspect of sustainability whilst ensuring maximum possible consumer exposure and awareness. Our plan is built upon the key premises highlighted in the case study, and the plan will be elaborated on the basis of that. 1). THE IDEA When we were given this case study the first thing that came to mind was to establish a consumer profile. Our target audience would of course be children as well as mothers as a mother would always want to do the best for her child. Our targets would be primarily schools as well as households giving particular focus on rural areas. The basic premise behind the idea is to use the emotional factor of the children as well as the attitudes of the mothers to prepare an engagement platform on which both will thrive. The idea is impacting both physically as well as psychologically. Lets take this from two different perspectives * FOR CHILDREN: Since children, whether they are from rural or urban areas thrive on toys, cartoon images...

...Violence in Music Videos and Music Lyrics has a negative impact on children. Music videos that expose profanity and sexuality are inappropriate and leave a negative impression on young children. Violence in music videos can cause health problem. Music videos that promote negative lyrics are affecting young children. Music lyrics with vulgar languages affect the development and well-being of young children. For example, the study author (Stone, 2009) found “that music with explicit references to drugs, sex or violence can be associated with negative effects on school work behavior and emotions” (p. 2). Media violence not only provokes violence among children, it provokes sexual behaviors. However, Music videos add reinforcement to what is being heard with the use of visuals. Rap music video shows an elevated level of content presented of tobacco and alcohol use than any other kind of music videos. Exposure to violence, sexual imagery and alcohol in music videos persuade violent and hostile feelings, potentially aggressive behavior that may direct them to certain types of sadistic behavior. Teens listen to on an average 40 hours of music per week. Children under eight are still developing emotionally. They cannot distinguish between reality and fantasy. They tend to imitate what they hear on the radio and see on T.V. They idolize artists and build themselves to be like them. Children use music to obtain and control of their sensitivity level and to deal with seclusion...

...The Educational Value of Television Young Children grow up with an attachment to their favorite television shows and fall in love with the characters they see. These relationships can blossom into life lessons on friendships, manners, early learning education, and much more. The results from the adults in their lives not fostering these relationships correctly and limiting the viewing to age-appropriate shows are not evident until later when it has affected the child. The early years of a child’s psychological and cognitive development are the most important. When parents allow younger children to watch shows targeted for older children (and adults), their cognitive development bypasses the fundamental lessons teaching them about issues and problems they are not yet equipped to handle. The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study noticed there were unique reciprocal effects between positive parenting and child's cognitive abilities found at nine and twenty-four months. (Park, 2012) Adults must understand the necessity of age-appropriate, learning-leveled television shows for children to prohibit the detrimental effects that watching inappropriate television shows has on them. The relationship between a child and the television shows they watch can have a huge impact on their lives. There are cartoon shows that teach math skills, problem solving, natural science, engineering, music, collaboration, and second languages along with intrapersonal, emotional, and social skills. These...

...• Stevie talks about how cartoons have become violent and addictive to children and also how they have hidden adult subliminal messages to allow for parents to enjoy the cartoons along with their children. • Three major effects that have been proven by psychological research caused by children seeing violence on television are: the child may become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others, children who watch violence do not fear violence nor are they bothered by violence in general, and the children are more likely to become aggressive or use harmful actions towards others. • "The April 2004 issue of the medical journal Pediatrics published a study done by Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center of Seattle, Washington. The study revealed that children who watched three to four hours of television daily had a 30 to 40 percent greater risk of developing attention deficit disorder than children who did not watch television." • cartoons set a false reality for children by cartoon characters being invincible. It talks about instances such as the how Wile E. Coyote in episodes of 'Loony Toons' can fall off a cliff and walk away without even a scratch. Incidents like this make children think that they too can do these things without being hurt, when in reality they can not. Having this false sense of reality increases the risk of child safety. “For every hour of TV viewed per day, the risk of injury rose by about 34% in the children studied.” • Wilcox talks about...

...Gender Role Stereotypes and Children’s Television For this paper, I had to watch a wide variety of different shows. I had to watch a few cartoons, sitcoms and PBS shows. What I found in this study I found very interesting. I found that the most traditional roles in men and women were found in the PBS shows. I am sure this is because when children watch these, they are usually at the age where they are establishing the roles of girls and boys. I found that in the sit-coms, especially friends, my research correlates with what the Signorelli article says. According to the article, “Women make up at least half of the characters in soap operas.” This is true in Friends; there are three boys and three girls. Also true in The Office, they have just as many women as they do men. In the article I also found that “women characters have the stereotypical role of emotional, romantic, and affectionate emotions.” This is true in the way that Monica has a stereotypical occupation of a chef. That is very domestic. She also does all of the cleaning, and nurtures all of her friends. Another way is that Rachel is a waitress, which is also very domestic. They are both pretty emotional. The article also states, “On average women tend to be about 4 years younger then men.” I am not sure of the exact ages of the women or men in Friends, but they women do look a little bit younger. It makes sense; Ross is Monica’s older brother. The research in the Signorelli article states how women in television...
