WHAT DID YOU SEE?

I think that although it’s a cartoon for adults, children may have access to this kind of cartoon easily. As you can see in these pictures, this cartoon contains lots of scenes of blood and violence. You may think by doing this way, you can release your pressure and anger. However, this is not the right way to deal with your emotions.

After seeing these clips…

Maybe you think that I take this funny program too seriously. Granted that the program’s purpose is to entertain people, it still contains too much violent content inside. Moreover, if you expose yourself to this kind of program for a long time, it would be highly possible for you to imitate the behavior in the program.

Children imitate Cartoon characters and try to do dangerous stunts –result in fatal accidents.

Suggestions

We should not fully rely on advertisement.

While watching cartoon and commercials we should judge whether actions and behavior right or wrong.

Discussion with parents before doing anything, buying anything.

Look for the content information before you want to buy anything.
