Cartoon watching: an addiction or entertainment?

WITH the advancement in technology, human beings have turned images into moving objects, making an imaginary world of fantasy in the minds of children.

Watching cartoons like Johnny Bravo; Ed, Edd and Eddy, and Tom and Jerry has made children addicted to these animate objects, affecting their behaviour both physically and psychologically.

These leave a bad impact on children’s mind, urging them to mimic such characters in their everyday life, imparting bad habits among them. Parents are responsible for such a psyche of children.

As both the mother and father are working for the sake of money, they are unable to pay attention to their children.

The only thing they are left with to make their children busy is to make them sit in front of the television watching cartoons throughout the day after school, without even imagining its bad consequences on their children, making them addicted to the stuff in the name of entertainment.

It is the responsibility of parents, as well as of teachers, to guide children to watch healthy cartoons for a limited time which will pay them back with useful knowledge and beautify their personality.
