...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...

...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...

...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.

...Your Name Instructor’s Name Course Name Date of Submission POLITICAL SATIRE Thesis Statement Political satire does in various ways alter the political history as it strengthens and accompanies political accomplishments. Political satire aims to inform individuals about matters pertaining to the general public as well as issues interconnected to government and politics, in a lighter but educational manner. It not only acts as a curative means to entertain citizens but also has a substantial effect on the political scene of a country. Based on this, “Political satire in the 21st century has a higher impact on the public opinion than a revealing newspaper article through creating humor and simplicity." Introduction The use of satire to express thoughts, themes, and opinions has been in existence since the early ages. It was written by an old Irish bard in an effort to put his solemn contempt upon the intended target. Mostly, satire targeted leaders, their styles of leadership, ideas and actions. The satire on the king, especially during the Irish king’s regime, was liable to result in his dethronement or even death. Political satire has been used in the past periods and continues to be used to criticize the political scenes in a humorous way. The use of satire over centuries as a literary tool has made it possible for essential thoughts, themes, and ideas to be passed across and expose the malfunctions and flaws in the society in a humorous manner. Over...

...Depicted in the Thomas Nast’s political cartoon is Boss Tweed. Boss Tweed, William Magear Tweed, was born on April 3, 1823 in New York, New York. After a failing to win the election for city alderman in 1850, he was successfully elected in 1852. Tweed was also elected to congress in 1852. In 1856 he was elected to the New York City Board of Supervisors, this was the first political office which would be used for corrupt purposes. Tweed was once quoted saying, “I don’t care who does the electing, so long as I do the nominating.” – Boss Tweed (A&E Television Networks). The reason he was able to win the election was because of his growing influence in New York Politics. He worked on strengthening his position of power in Tammany Hall, the headquarters for The Democratic political machine. He was backed by most of the Irish population because...

...is almost invisible in the BBC cartoon. Throughout the cartoon, women are continually painted in a negative light—starting off with the Wife of Bath flirting with the Friar (BBC 0:25), as previously mentioned. The aggression and drama surrounding the tale only pertain to the female characters, making them seem as if they are crazy; it severely delegitimizes their actions and attitudes. The old woman who eventually marries the knight is relentlessly made fun of—one scene in particular shows her face up close licking her lips, telling the knight “I want to be your wife and your love!” (BBC 4:43) while his face is utterly disgusted. This depicts...

...2-3-2015 English 1302 Paper 1 – “Why We Read” Picture While studying the picture entitled, “Why We Read,” it seems the artist is trying to paint a descriptive picture for people to demonstrate the difference between the images our minds create or receive while reading a book vs. watching a television program. Reading helps the brain create a more detailed mental picture and broadens the imagination by reducing limitations due to the fact that while reading, one must create mental pictures to go along with a story instead of the picture being perfectly thought out and visually created by someone else. In the cartoon, the two characters in the two images look like identical old alien men. One picture shows a thought blurb or bubble with multiple images and concepts created in the man’s brain through the written word. The other picture shows the very same character watching television. His thought blurb or bubble is empty and represents a brain without creative images, and leaves the viewer to believe the character is without thought. The artist is also trying to show a visual picture that ties the whole “imagination” aspect together and how the character’s imagination has already broadened his mind. The image also seems as if it appeals to adults more because adults like things that are out of the ordinary and strange, which may help captivate their attention and curiosity. The illustration also shows that it will cause the reader to be more creative when one reads...

...On-screen characters: their design and influence on consumer trust J.T. Luo Mayfair Artist Ltd, Bolton, UK, and Peter McGoldrick, Susan Beatty and Kathleen A. Keeling Manchester Business School, Manchester, UK Abstract Purpose – Previous research has focused on how trustworthiness can be evoked by the physical design of on-screen characters (OSCs) within the e-commerce interface. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not the OSCs representation, along with user differences, influence, how likeable, appropriate and trustworthy they are. Design/methodology/approach – A web site was created for a simulated online bookseller and 183 people from various countries participated in the experiments. OSC representations were tested under four conditions in the main experiment: facial appearance (human-like vs cartoon-like) and gender (male vs female). Findings – The results suggest that the human-like characters are more likeable, appropriate and trustworthy in general terms. However, when perceived capabilities of OSCs are measured, a mismatch can occur between expectations and capabilities of the human-like OSCs. In fact, cartoon-like OSCs, especially female, had more positive effects on the web site interface. Research limitations/implications – This study was limited to simulations of on-screen scenarios. Future work, with access to the huge database required, could investigate the effects of truly interactive OSCs. Larger national sub-samples would permit generalisations...

...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...

...In psychology, there is always the debate of Nature vs. Nurture in the behavior and thoughts of people.The way I see gender roles and it’s influences is in the same aspect. Nature being biological factors and socio-cultural factors being nurture. I like to think it’s a little bit of both in most cases, but when it comes to gender roles I think it has more to do with nurture. The biological differences between men and women make a difference in the way gender roles are shaped. There very obvious biological differences like the change in chromosomes, males get a Y chromosome and females get an extra X chromosome. The Y chromosome that men get produces testosterone, and it is part of the reason why there is a distinction between men and women. The testosterone that men produce may explain why men are more aggressive and more competitive (McLeod,”Biological Theories of Gender”). There’s also the biological argument that men are naturally stronger than women, so men are...

...1. 2. 3. 4. Political Cartoon Questions The event or issue that inspired my cartoon was the sepoy rebellion. I really found it fascinating that Britain made bullets then greased them in animal fat , and this was against the sepoy religion. The time of my political cartoon isn't just yet the rebellion but an influence leading up to the actual rebellion. Yes and no there are real people/ characters in the cartoon. I tried to base the 2 Muslims and the 1 hindu sepoys on real pictures I had seen when researching ideas to help. Also, the bigger Muslim is supposed to be the captain or the general of his group. They were based on pictures so they didn't have a particular name. There are symbols included in my cartoon. The first is the butcher, who represents Britain . The reason I made him a butcher was because that's how the sepoys viewed him. This is because they killed animals and greased the bullets with the fat. The second symbol is the pink cloud that includes the bullets with dead animals inside them. This is house the sepoys saw the bullets. The next symbol are the Muslims and hindu. This is to show how the two groups didn't get along with each other and were different. Another clue are the workers or the people in the background that are tending to the ports and the factory that is supposed to produce or help with Britain goods. The last clue is the separation of land, the land labeled India is browner than Britain's. This is to show that India ...
