The cartoon of the yellow sponge living in a pineapple under the sea was never meant to be a kid’s show. Au contraire, the show was meant to air on Adult Swim, a television network for viewers 16 years and older. The Sponge had a test run, but because of the low rating it was transferred to the kids’ networks. Of course, our dear children, innocent and ignorant of the hidden message inside the moving images, loved it. In this case “Bikini Bottom” is SpongeBob’s home town, an inappropriate name of a setting for a children’s cartoon. This shows that the transition of the show from Adult Swim to Nickelodeon had no change on SpongeBob Squarepants, whatsoever. Meaning, many other sections of the show are likely not meant for children’s eyes or ears. This show is degradation for young minds and their mental and physiological development and should not continue to be aired.
You may think, I am simply looking into it too much but you simply need to look at the characters to see it. The main character, Spongebob, is constantly high. It’s proven when Plankton, the “villain” steals some of his DNA and injects it on himself. Plankton, started to hallucinate with non-animate objects dancing to an imaginary beat. Then, there is Squidward Tentacles, a narcissistic sociopath. The octopus like character has a room full of paintings and sculptures of himself done by him. He’s also constantly seen isolating himself from the others by criticizing every single detail of their aspects, especially Spongebob. Surely, our whole point of educating them is to prevent this type of people to develop from our children. For then to become the best they can be and choose their companionship wisely.

...omedian, he used Sandy as the main topic often finishing the joke with Squirrels being ‘stupid’. This leads to Sandy often been looked at with wary and even the removal of her scientific awards. Apparently the scientific board of Bikini Bottom thought she had stolen them. Of course this lead to Spongebob taking back all what he said but the damage was done. Even in later episodes, the other fishes see Sandy as a savage stupid squirrel that their children should not get close to.
It is fine let our children discriminate it’s not like we had a history of savage discrimination. It is all for fun if no none knows then there is not damage done. After all the show was not aired for its facts of the marine life because is completely normal to see a sponge used for cleaning, living in a pineapple, that should had been rotted after spending so much time inside salt water.
In the TV show Spongebob SquarePants, Spongebob is a sea sponge that lives in the ocean in a town called Bikini Bottom. Spongebob works at a restaurant called the Krusty Krab as a fry cook and his coworker is named Squidward. His best friend is a sea star, Patrick, and they are both neighbors. Spongebob has the mind of a little kid, and he also displays quite a few atypical behaviors. Spongebob exhibits classifications of abnormal psychology because he displays unusual behaviors, dangerous behaviors, socially unacceptable behaviors, and a faulty perception of reality.
Often children do not act disrespectfully to an adult or other child unless they are provoked. If a child reads OFOtCN they may see how popular McMurphy is to the other patients and try to imitate his actions in hope of attaining everyone's attention. According to Education Digest, on child psychology, the article advocates, "Children who struggle academically or socially may believe that they're "bad" students and thus are not valued. They may use defiance as a way to gain a sense of personal importance"(46). The article clearly states how a child may act defiantly so everyone notices them, in the classroom. The strive for attention does not end in school either; a child still requests attention from their parents when they get home. Attention Deficient is an article that presents the life of "Peggy," more often known as the middle child who constantly endeavors for their moms' attention, to portray that "the circumstances are different, but also the same. Every child craves attention. Needs to be looked at and listened to"(Byrne 26). Children pursue attention and often when they do not receive enough they will do any deed excessively. Hence to prevent children from performing the abhorrent deeds in OFOtCN, in search of attention, the book should be banned from school
The show is a series of eleven-minute episodes. These episodes are jam packed with ironic inconsistencies in terms of plot structure and characters. While most shows have a unified plot that follows a certain order in each episode, Squidbillies takes the scrambled eggs approach to plot structure. The plots of Squidbillies episodes sometimes avoid the traditional elements of plot structure all together. Sometimes the show is anticlimactic. At times the show avoids exposition, slides into a resolution, and then moonwalks into a climax. As far as character traits are concerned, there are running jokes associated with the character's identities. Granny is either Early's mother or grandmother. There are hundreds of jokes associated with their ambiguous relationship. Early has a tenuous relationship with Granny to say the least. At times Early is loving and tender; sometimes he is harsh. The dramatic irony that the Squi...
The fact that the animals in Seaworld are depressed and angered means that kids are going to see animals not only in an unnatural state. Unfortunately, they will also have the potential to see aggressive Orcas. Children are going to absolutely terrified by these animals when they are actually very calm. Peaceful animals. Plus, the facts that Seaworld gives their guests about all the animals are downright false! If we were going to compare Seaworld to anything, then I would compare it to a judge sentencing an innocent man to life in prison. Places like this truly show us that mankind is downright evil! Now, let's look back, what are our kids truly learning
...ith the cover to persuade a reader through logic, and the credibility of David Kirby. A whale that appears to be swimming captures a reader to his or her own memories of SeaWorld. Through color, and vivid font colors, his tactic is effective at capturing the controversy behind the scenes of the theme park. He then uses logos to appeal to a reader’s on this controversial cultural debate. “Shamu” is a symbol of the park, and represents the joy of watching such a beautiful animal perform jumps with their human trainers, and looking at the darker side of the reality that this may not be the logical desire for the whales and their human trainers. Lastly, he used the ethos of the well renowned writer of the book to complete his work. Even if the potential reader walks away from the book, they are going to be left wondering what the mystery is behind the gates of SeaWorld.
Their search for attention from parents who work too much or just do not care, peers, and others on social networks has an adverse influence on their behavior. Tween may misbehave in many ways in order to bring attention to them. They would seek popularity by smoking, drinking, and having sex, among other things. They would put on makeup and fancy clothes for the same reason. Tweens would misbehave in order to get their parents’ attention, and when they do not get that attention their behavior may escalate. Another problem with tweens’ need for attention is when they get too much of it and as the result believe that “the earth revolves around them.” This also results in tweens’ uncontrollable behavior in demanding attention and disregard for needs and wellbeing of
SpongeBob SquarePants is accused of killing his boss Mr. Krabs; we are here to prove that SpongeBob is innocent. SpongeBob is a kind sponge that works at the Krusty Krab as a fry cook. We will prove that he handles all the cooking utensils thus his fingerprints will be found on these items. Witnesses place SpongeBob at the Krusty Krab before Mr. Krabs' death. SpongeBob admits he was in the restaurant, and that they had an argument, and that he became so angry he quit his job and left. However, Mr. Krabs was still alive when SpongeBob left the restaurant. We learned that Plankton paid off the pineapple loan. Why would he do that and where did the money come from? The defense contends that Plankton is somehow involved in the death of
Socialization plays in important part in the passing on of culture from generation to generation. It is defined as the lifelong process of social interaction through which we acquire a self-identity and the skills needed for survival. The agents of socialization provide the necessary social interactions to teach culture to individuals in a society. The four primary agents of socialization include parents, education, peers, and media. The most pervasive one, media, has a major role in teaching messages about the norms in culture. The purpose of this project was to observe the subtle messages that a TV series, like The Simpsons, send about gender, class, disability/ability, and age.
Garland asserts that these trouble makers are hindering educators instructing, scholars learning, and administrators maintaining (694), but she is wrong because many of these troublemakers do not know right from wrong and misbehave in class. When troublemakers do not know right from wrong, these individuals take these drugs that psychologically affect them. For example, I know this kid who went to my high school. I do not know his name but I remember seeing him around when I was a freshman.
The material a child is exposed to influences the way they learn. Many smart and educated students get bullied for wanting to stay in and study instead of going out to party. Because of the social environment the “nerds” and “geeks” become social outcasts and could begin to lose interest in education. Today’s society does not promote the importance of education. While standing in line at the grocery store, many magazines are headlining about another wild stunt from a famous person such as the Kardashians. The other handful of magazines is about food. “Because of television, by the age of six, a child will have learned how to pick a lock, elaborate a fairy tale bank robbery, prevent wetness all day, to keep laundry white, and kill people with a variety of armaments.” (Baker
Currently, live whale performances have become a main attraction for tourists. When visitors are at SeaWorld, they only see what is right in front of their eyes and do not care or want to know about the complications the whales go through just to make people smile. The documentary “Blackfish” exposes the truth about killer whales, their habits, and why they behave in the manner that they do when in captivity. The inhumane treatment of whales in captivity causes negative effects on the animals which, in turn, affects the humans who care for them.
Kids in general learn from the people in their environment. If they see something good that someone else does, they too will do the same thing. They are not able to control the way they think yet because their cognitive learning skills aren’t as strong as they are when you become an adult. If a child sees someone doing something bad instead of good, the same reaction as the first example will take place and that child will exhibit bad behavior. This goes hand in hand with the social learning theory. The social learning theory focuses on individual behavior. Kids are easily influenced by other kids in their age group bec...
Adolescences in particular can be easily influenced to abusing a drug or multiple drugs. I believe this happens because teens often lack education, live in an environment where drugs are readily available, are peer-pressured and the lack of proper growth of the frontal lobe. Many factors contribute to adolescences experimenting with drugs. As side from being a child, the adolescence stage is of great importance. Healthy habits and activities are supposed to be instilled within this stage of life. The adolescence stage can be very perplexing and what is made into a habit then is easily carried on into adulthood. Our genes act together with our environment to contribute to the addictive behaviors we are motivated to develop. If addiction is left untreated it can ultimately lead to de...
As Berger and Luckmann said, “secondary socialization is the internalization of institutional or institution-based sub-worlds” (Berger and Luckmann, 158). As a teenager, most of my life revolved around skateboarding. I skateboarded every day, all my friends skated, my main role models were skaters, and it gave me so much joy and satisfaction in my life. Skateboarding became a sub-world to me and began to influence and change my “behaviors, rights, obligations, beliefs, and norms” (Miller, 4/12). Before I knew it, I was internalizing all of skateboarding as I surrounded myself with skaters, dressed like them, listened to the same music, and overall had the same values and attitudes as them. Fitting in and adapting to skateboarding was very easy for me since I basically had a role with a script to fulfill. Although seen as a stereotype of skateboarders, drug use did have a correlation with skateboarding in my personal experiences growing up. Internalizing this was very hard for me since it was conflicting with my attitude towards drugs learned through primary socialization as a child. This became a major problem for me since I wanted to fit in and play my role as a skater within this sub-world, but my initial value for drugs was very strong since it was placed in my mind and internalized for so long. In the end, the secondary socialization wasn’t
