Does cartoon violence make kids more aggressive?



(1) Lots of parents question the violence in many of today's cartoons and video games, but many of us grew up watching Tom & Jerry, The Road Runner, and other animated favorites where violence was also a key ingredient.
(2) So was humor – and the reassurance that no matter what happened, no one ever got hurt; at least not fatally. Everything always ended well. In fact, you can argue that aggression and hostility has been the linchpin of cartoons and fairytales forever.
(3) What is Sleeping Beauty without the evil threat of the jealous witch, or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs without a near-fatal dose of poison that confronts children, perhaps for the first time, with the notion of suddenly losing a loved one?
(4) Research and cartoon violence
(5) Professor L Rowell Huesmann, senior research professor at the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan, in the USA, says there is little difference between the Tom & Jerry era of cartoons and the violence in cartoons now.
(6) "Except more graphic violence produces more desensitization," he says. The author of a number of studies on media violence and aggressive behavior in children, Professor Huesmann says there's evidence that exposure to media violence can lead to aggressive behavior and ideas, provocation and anger in viewers.
(7) Australian parenting expert Michael Grose agrees, but says some children are more predisposed to being affected by media violence than others. "Often it depends on what sort of kids they are. Young people who live at the edges, who don't fit in, the loners who spend excessive amounts of time internalizing certain videos – they are more susceptible," Michael says. He believes cartoons are good for children. "It prepares them. It actually personifies the unknown to them." And it presents conflict, drama and pain in a manner that is indirect and impersonal – it happens to Wile E. Coyote, never to anyone else.
(8) Why today's violence is different
(9) The difference with graphic violent games and cartoons of today, says Michael, is that violence is indiscriminate and often perpetrated by the heroes themselves, for immediate reward. "It brings it out in kids, gives them permission, shows them how to do things. Particularly boys who are more hardwired to do that."
(10) The research community isn't all in agreement, however. Experts such as Professor Jonathan Freedman of the Department of Psychology, University of Toronto, Canada, don't believe media violence is necessarily related to aggressive behavior in children.
(11) In published articles, he questions whether watching violence produces violence or desensitizes people to it. He points to Japanese cartoons, traditionally much more violent than American ones, to back his theory. Japanese are in general, a very polite, non-aggressive people, he has reportedly argued. (...)

Climate change solutions


The Earth is getting warmer, and if the trend continues, humans may have some serious problems. Most of us are aware of the need for recycling and driving less, but what other ideas are the experts considering?

Man-made trees?


According to climate experts, one big problem we have right now is too much CO2 in the air. If we can out CO2 into the air, can we take it back out? At the moment, trees do this job - just not fast enough. So could we make treelike machines to do the job? Scientist Klaus Lackner of Columbia University in New York says yes and several companies are already developing the idea.


Smarter power for vehicles


• Electric car are more and more common all over the world, and the technology is getting better. And if you recharge the batteries with electricity which comes from solar and wind power, they are very clean technology.

• By law, the petrol sold in Brazil is 25% ethanol - a fuel made from sugar. It pollutes less than ordinary petrol. However, growing the sugar uses a lot of energy, and some people say the fuel can damage car engines.

• Hydrogen - a natural part of water - is used in some vehicles, including buses in cities around the world. It’s a great fuel, because the only waste it produces is water. The big problem is that making hydrogen fuel creates a lot of pollution.


Smoke to make shade?


Smoke from volcanoes and forest fires is known to block the sun and cool the Earth. Scientists at the University of Bristol in the UK have done experiments to test the idea of creating smoke to cool the world. The idea is disliked by most experts as a possibly very dangerous way to fight climate change. Dr Hugh Hunt, director of the research projects, said that the technology won’t be developed in the near future.


A vegetarian diet?


According to a report by the United Nations, producing meat creates more greenhouse gas emissions than transport - 18% of the world’s total. Eating less meat would help to reduce emissions and possibly fight global warming. Cities in Belgium, Brazil, Germany and South Africa - among many others - have “no-meat” days to bring the issue to people’s attention, and try to fight climate change close to home.


These are big ideas, but the solution in the end may be a big sum of small actions.


LANSFORD, L. Keynote Intermediate Workbook: 1. ed. National Geographic Learning, a part of Cengage Learning, 2016

By the article, what is the meaning to have“non-meat” days in some countries around the world?
