on-going debate

 

 

          There has been an on-going debate whether or not television cartoon have negative influences a child’s behavior. There is no doubt that the media has an impact on a child, but is it so influential that it can make a child do something that he/she would have never thought of doing until he/she sees it on television.

Children’s minds are not fully developed and therefore, they cannot be expected to understand the bad things on television cartoon.

Customer culture

All people know that cartoon channels audience is children. So the advertisement should be give the advertise which is for children. But now a day for marketing TV channel shows many adults advertisement in cartoon channel. “Psychologist, Allen Kanner, co-editor of psychology and Consumer Culture, commentented, “Given the negative impact of advertising and media on children, health professionals should be working with parents to limit the amount of television kids watch. Hospitals should be promoting public health, not the Cartoon Network’s fall lineup”. Cartoon channels gives some advertisement for their business .Though they know their buyer is not children still they gives that type of advertise which is very bad for children.

Most of the kids are irregular in food habit. Food is an entertainment thing and cartoon also. Kids like to eat food behind the television screen when they watch cartoon. In that time kids take food properly. But other time they make problem to taking their food properly. Here testing food become a passive thing and cartoon become a entertainment thing. As one researcher explains, “April 04,2006-In a recent Penn State laboratory study, preschool children who usually eat meals at home while watching TV ate one-third more lunch when they were shown a cartoon video during lunchtime versus when they ate lunch without TV.”TV viewing may distract children from normal fullness cues which can lead to overeating in children as it may in adults.
