Life Lessons From Cartoos
Elementary, middle and high school were different transitions for us as children and even as young adult. Growing up there was always be those few television shows that we love, even now in college. Those television shows not really showing on television anymore mainly because many of those main characters and voices we grown to loved have grown older just like us. We can always have something to look back on and say “that was out when we were a kid.”
There were plenty of shows that were always really popular as we were growing up but one show that really stood out to children was and always will be Caillou. Caillou has always been very interesting and was always something many people can learn from. For example, Cailou teaches you the importance of personal hygiene is in your

This show caught our attention so much because we can relate. This girl named, Raven and her close friends were in high school, and the main character Raven could see the future. That caught our attention because in her visions it was many lessons being taught in her visons. Many of her visons taught us many life lessons for example, Beauty Comes In All Shapes And Sizes. This was probably one of the iconic scenes in Disney history, Raven stood up to the standards of society of the “perfect body” she made her own definition of what beauty is and everybody is beautiful and you should believe it. Disney Channel was a popular television channel for many children back then, That’s So Raven was one of the best show on there. Even until this day people in my generation love this show.
The Proud Family show is a lot different from The Comfy Couch but there are life lessons being taught. Dealing with family and friends there are reality issues being dealt with but in a comedy way. The main character Penny Proud was everyone's favorite. It seemed as though at her age she was trying to gain her independence in middle school and with the help of her
In 1985, television was a platform to use for educational purposes and entertainment. It did teach our youth that teaching and learning could be both fun and educational. With new developing technologies, it is only natural for our culture of education to develop. Although the format of education changes, change is not a bad thing. I see images, video, music, and all media as tools for our youth to learn. Making viewers and users aware of the impacts is necessary to inform the generation to
Making the transition from middle school to high school is a huge stepping stone in a teenager’s life. High school represents both the ending of a childhood and the beginning of adulthood. It’s a rite of passage and often many teens have the wrong impression when beginning this passage. Most began high school with learning the last thing on their mind. They come in looking for a story like adventure and have a false sense of reality created through fabricated movie plots acted out by fictional characters. In all actuality high school is nothing like you see in movies, television shows, or what you read about in magazines.
Today's world needs children who are accepting, loving and willing to listen. The current Disney Channel shows do not teach children relevant lessons. As a concerned teenager, I can see the effects that these shows are having on children who are still in a very critical developmental state. The shows that Disney creates do not teach important lessons, they are littered with racist, stereotypical and sexist comments. These shows are sculpting a certain kind of child. This child then grows up to be an adult who does not have the best morals.
The mother has written her own cookbook and has five children and one grandchild. They have two children in college at the moment doing well, and one is beauty pageant queen. The idea of the show portrays a family who lives under the fist of a very strict father because of the society that we live in he is very protective of his family's life some would even say controlling. The father Todd is a very strict father and just wants what's best for his children so he sets up many rules for his teenage children that always come with severe punishments when the children fail to follow. I can really relate to this program growing up as the only girl in my family with very strict parents, I sometimes see myself in Todd’s daughter situation. The way the show is portrayed in a comedic way and makes light of strict parenting, however
At first I was very taken back by the clothes and the accents that were going on, but as the show went on they both grew on me. I loved Will’s accent the most and I feel like he fit that character perfectly. Jud did almost too good acting his part and Curly definitely would have won me over too. The coolest part about the show was definitely the moving stage. I was totally amazed at the idea and with how well it worked for every reason they used it. It was by far the best way i’ve seen a show change scenes. Every single detail on all the props, from Aunt Eller’s house to Jud’s shack, was perfectly made for the show. I can only imagine how many
I have to admit that I will not look fondly on my high school career. I spent most of my study time going out with my friends. I felt that I was paying my dues with the eight hours of boredom that began most of my days. Until now there were only a few classes that I enjoyed. In retrospect, I believe that it was my inability to choose the classes I took which resulted in my lack of enthusiasm on the ride to school each morning.
High school is where I had gained an awareness about how what I 'm learning in school is going to benefit me in the real world. I learned an retain a variety of information because the things that I did learn I felt like you would need to know to survive in the real world. A perfect example of this is driver 's ed where I learned to drive something that I do everyday frequently. Another reason why I learned and retain so much I because when I got into high school is around the same time I got my first job. This definitely opened the door in showing me how what I 'm learning in school applies to everyday work activities such as knowing and counting money this is where math comes in. Being able to talk and communicate writing and verbally this is where English comes in. All things that I needed to do in everyday
Another animated epic that took the world by storm was a show called Avatar: The Last Airbender. Originally airing from 2005 to 2008 on Nickelodeon, this was a show that took the bar and raised, and eventually broke. The show takes place in an ancient setting where the world is divided into four nations of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. In each nation are a select few group of people who have the ability to bend and manipulate their nation’s respective element. Only one, however, can bend all four. He or she is proclaimed the Avatar, and their duty is to balance and protect the world. They also act as a bridge between the physical and spirit world. The main character, Aang, is a young airbender who runs away once he discovers he is the avatar, due to being shunned by his fellow monks and being sent away from his adoptive father. However, he gets caught in a storm and is frozen for 100 years and wakes up in a world divided by war and under attack by the main nation of fire. His goal is to learn all four elements, while traveling with his friends and being pursued. This show touches base with war, specifically the damaging effects it can have a nation’s spirit. Refugees, starting a new life, conspiracy in a world that is divided, taking responsibility for one's past actions, and proving that death is not always the final option are some of the many themes shown throughout the show’s three seasons. Now while that may seem like such an onslaught of “messages” and “awareness campaigns” the show manages to have their comedy mirror their action. Thus having the light-hearted whimsy, parallel their serious moments, tying into a variety that makes a great show.
I remember from both Cory in "That's SO Raven" and Roger in "Sister, Sister", dangers of stealing. Disney Channel showed kids how to rise above what is considered "cool" and how to overcome the severe stresses of popularity at what is already an extremely stressful age. Disney used to show kids how they could be ‘cool’ without being popular, and to be themselves, attend school, and make friends that have the same characteristics.
Growing up watching TV as a kid during the late 1990’s was a great thing. Coming home from school would be the best part of the day as a young child so, we could all run to the Television and watch cartoon. As a child after school would not be the only time we would watch TV whether it be after school, after dinner or the very best time, on the weekend, watching cartoon was the best part of being a child. G...
Television is everywhere these days, not just in our living rooms but in bathrooms, kitchens, doctor's offices, grocery stores, airplanes, and classrooms. We have access to TV virtually anywhere and as American's we are taking advantaged of it. Adults aren't the only ones watching TV; children today are watching more TV than ever before. TV has even become known as "America's baby-sitter." (Krieg). Meaning that parents are now using the television as a way of entertaining their children while they attempt to accomplish other things such as cooking and cleaning.
The Disney Channel from the early 2000s had story lines which were a lot more connected to our real life situations. That helped us relate to them a lot more. They were normal kids, just like us. With the new programming, it is hard to relate because all of the actresses and actors have society’s “dream image,” and almost all of the new characters are rich, famous and fake. This stresses the idea that kids should wear cool clothes and be rich and famous, but it really isn’t fair because it is extremely hard to reach those expectations. Unfortunately, kids shouldn't be worrying about things like that. “Girl Meets World” is a prime example of my argument. While the concept was good, being a spinoff of “Boy Meets World” it’s execution was terrible. The actors are not nearly as talented as they should be and every episode consists of boring situations with some sort of unusable life lesson at the end and not to forget the expensive wardrobe and brattiness of the actors. In my opinion, shows like this on the new Disney Channel cause premature insecurity. My personal favorite show was “Lizzie Miguire.” Lizzie played by Hilary Duff, was always dealing with school bullies, fashion problems, crushes and family issues. It was the most real show there was. These days the shows lack that excitement while being filled with un-relatable situations and
Being a teenager is a lot of fun especially when you do not have many responsibilities. A teenager watching other teenagers lose most of their freedom gives them an eye opening experience. These shows provide a lot of educational information and teach serious life lessons. Although it may seem easygoing to teenagers, teenage childhood has a lot of sad and scary moments that most are not yet ready for.
According to Paediatrics & Children’s Health, T.V can teach kids many different things, such as “watching Sesame Street is an example of how toddlers can learn valuable lessons about racial harmony, cooperation, kindness, simple arithmetic, and the alphabet through an educational television format.”(2003) T.V shows can teach very good lessons to children about many important things, that these kids can use in their adult life. Another positive effect of television for kids is that it sort of opens their horizons to different things and people. For example, according to The Raising Children Network, teens and children can benefit from media exposure by developing cultural and political awareness. Television, films, magazines, and social media sites expose teens and children, who might be otherwise be limited to interactions with people from their own cultural and ethnic backgrounds, to an array of different people”. (Mokeyane) Children can really benefit from watching T.V, they can learn many educational things from shows like Sesame Street, Barney, or Caillou. Also, older children can learn about other cultures and political things that might not be talked about at home. Television really helps kids learn more important personal and educational lessons, that the generations,before, never had. Children, nowadays, have a great advantage in learning much more
...s and funny shows appreciably than past. They have several choices what they want to watch about the program in the same time. Therefore, the children spend more time with them which the kids like. In addition, children can learn bunch of different education by entertaining of television programs.
