            In the article “Unlearning the Myths that Bind Us” talked about a lot of myths that cartoons do and people believe it all. People think that cartoons actually mess up the child’s brain. I mean as a child I don’t think ANY cartoon made me a different person, I don’t think the princesses made me realize that life isn’t like a fairytale. I honestly don’t think kids understand until they get a little bit older what the story is really about then by that time they know it’s just a movie and life isn’t really like a fairytale. In the article it said that there’s never any Asian or Hispanic people in cartoons. Honestly growing up I never realized there was no black princess until Princess and the Frog came out. Now we have Moana that children now love.  I have a link here that I never knew what the show really was about until like just now while reading them and they are all shows that were popular when I was a kid.

The next link is about how children pick up on violence while watching this show. SpongeBob I honestly do not like that show at all. I think that is the one show that I can’t stand. Tom and Jerry is said to be violent. I honestly don’t think children would pick up violence from Tom and Jerry. It’s a cat and a mouse not people beating up each other.

            In the article it said that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is also violent for kids. Which I can understand why because they use weapons and things.

Question:

Do you think that these shows change the child’s attitudes?

    I liked reading all the things that your links showed. I also really did not like Spongebob at all. It is true that most TV shows for kids seem to be excessively violent, in terms for kids.

    I do believe that shows can change a child attitude. I always see kids trying to imitate their favorite characters. I believe that as long as there is an adult to show the child right from wrong and talk about the issues of violence and race, then there is a less chance that it will become a problem when they become an adult.

In the Kliewer article Mia noticed that she didn't like the classes she was taking. She had to go thru special education her whole life. She wanted to take classes that interested her. I agree with Mia. I hate taking classes that are not interesting to me. It makes the semester and days go by so slow. Mia felt mad and like she wanted to cry. I don't feel that way unless its math class. Math classes bore me and I cant stand math and it stresses me out so much. Success in life requires ability to form relationships with others who make up the web of community. We all have to learn how to get along with others. If we don't get along with others our lives would be miserable. Just think about it. I know most of us probably have had coworkers that we can not stand and once you don't get along going to work is a struggle. Even when we don't like each other we should still try to get along with one another. It will make your lives better. Shoshone is a parent run scho...

Journal number 5    Quotes    There were some quotes in this article called Safe Spaces,  that really stood out to me and I feel like they need to be shared to others.    “ Youth who struggle with Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender identities or who are bullied for the perception of being different often feel as if they have nowhere to turn.”  With this quote I feel like children should just feel  like themselves. Sometimes I see teachers in daycare setting making fun of little boys who play with dolls and they even tell them to go play with the  blocks. I feel like they should just let them play where they want to play.    “Death should NEVER be an option. ” If you know someone who is sad and says they want to kill themselves, you need to speak with them. Ignoring the problem will make things worse.    Another quote that stood out to me was, “For many youths people suicide feels like a b...

I attended the movie "Matt Shepard is a friend of Mine." It was a few weeks ago but I have not had the time to write about it yet. This documentary was about a gay young man. He was tortured and was murdered. Matt died in 1998. He was Dolly Parton one year for Halloween which was probably a huge hint for people that he was gay. His guidance counselor was one of the first people he has told before his own parents, and friends. Matt was afraid that his parents would disown him and reject him. Matt to me I feel like he was a pretty popular boy. He had a lot of friends and he traveled the world so much. He was very adventurous. He loved people and loved making people happy.  Matt loved politics, he wanted to become a actor, he was in many plays. He wanted to change things about the world. He wanted to build a Church. When Matt died his friend still feels guilty and angry because she didn't get to do anything to help him. She has saved all his stuff pictures and letters for me...
