Cartoon Violence Essay, Research Paper


Ever remember watching Looney Tunes, the cartoon show when you


were a child? Of course you do because it was funny and you could sit and


watch it all afternoon. You didn t watch it because of the voilence in it, you


really didn t even notice the violence, but it was there. Violence has always


been present in all types of cartoons. A lot of cartoon shows today still show


violence and instead of watching the shows because they re funny, kids are


watching them because of the violence. Parents need to view cartoon shows


before hand and decide whether these shows are too violent for kids to watch,


because the violence in cartoons cause kids to act out these scenes that can


result in severe accidents.


In cartoons you usually see the bad guy beating up someone, kids


notice this and want to act the same, if they are not told different than they


will act in the same rough manner. Alicia Kaufman expresses her opinion on


the affect of violence on children. Since all of life is one big learning


experience, we need to be more aware of what our children are actually


learning. Does the vulnerable Bugs Bunny really demonstrate the value of a


sense of humor and resiliency? Or do children get the message that a bop on


the head or a stranglehold is the best way to solve disputes? (New York


Times, p:14)


Parents think cartoons are harmless because they re not real, but they


arent h

armless, the violence in cartoons show or teach kids how to play


rough, in which can result in them hurting themselves or someone else. We


have the most trouble getting people to be serious about cartoons. They re


sort of like apple pie and mom, part of the American scenery. They seem


rather innocous, said Dr. Mary Hudak.


For kids to not play so rough while watching cartoons, parents need to


explain to their kids that these shows are fake and that the cartoon characters


don t actually get hurt, but they can if they act that way. Even in cartoon


violence, we see victims that really don t die, said clinical psychologist


Evelyn Kohan. But people do die when they re shot with guns, and people


really do die when people hurt them in violent ways. Our children have to


know that. (www.cnn.com)


Cartoon shows need to be viewed by parents before their kids watch it


in order to reduce the violence their kids are exposed to, which in turn


reduces the number of accidents that happen among kids from being too


rough.
