Effects Of Dubbed Cartoons

Psychologists and researchers have conducted many studies to prove that the violence within children’s cartoons correlates with the level of aggressiveness within children.

As language is intuitive, I have not given much thought on the science of language in a way that linguistics does. Once I began to reevaluate what thought I knew compared to what I actually knew, only then did I become so fascinated by the intricacies of human communication. Each of the readings deepened and challenged my understanding of human language. There were two aspects of language that particularly stood out to me in the readings – creativity and complexity and how the two applied in a social context.

The first cartoon I will be talking about is Family Guy. Family Guy plays a huge role in pop culture .Over the years Family Guy has

Introduction: As long as there have been civilizations, there have been stories, myths that are told to children. These stories are usually the basis of the cartoons characters except some which are from creator’s imagination. This story telling is a means of not only comforting and amusing a child, but of teaching the child the societal norms of their nation. These are memorized by children and remembered forever. Children idolize their favourite character, the character they have most in common with and are best able to identify with, and try to emulate that character’s

Originating in the 19th century, political cartoons are created and drawn as a means to deliver a message. Whether it be about politics, events or social concerns, the artist is able to express themselves creatively. The cartoons are not only meant to express the view of the creator, but are also open to interpretation. Most political cartoons have a biased point of view and uses rhetoric to persuade its audience.

Have you ever wondered how we speak? How about why our communication is considered a language and other animal’s communication is not considered language? A wide range of beliefs exist on what defines language. Thus, by exploring the definition of language and lexicon, evaluating language’s key features, the four levels of language structure and processing, and the role of language in Cognitive Psychology, an understanding of what language is becomes clear. Let us begin by defining language and a term named lexicon.

Comics, a medium used to express ideas via images and pictures, can be traced back to the cave period when humans communicated ideas and thoughts using paintings and pictures. However, as humans began to use words to communicate with one another, paintings and pictures as a mode of communication took a backseat. They began to be used only for visual impact whenever needed. In course of time, other than oral communication, written communication and print media were considered effective means of communication. Various genre like novels, poems, short stories, essays were all realized and accepted by scholars as resources to be used when educating children and adults. Inspite of the many famous comics – be it

Cartoons aren’t what they seem. Most cartoons have certain signs in them or symbols. Most of the symbols or signs are from the illuminati and some are from predicting the future, which was 9/11. There are also cartoons you have seen when you were a kid and thought it was just a cartoon with funny characters or had a funny thirty minute story that got solved but really it had a different meaning about the characters and the whole show.

The purpose of the argument is to raise the awareness about cartoon violence and come up with some solutions to lessen its negative impact on the children that are watching them.

     Many types of violence are viewed in cartoons and because they are centered on the interest of children, children are at great risk of mimicking the actions and attitudes the characters portray.

As children we find entertainment in cartoons. Such simple shapes and figures provide hours of amusement watching them do trivial tasks like drive cars and go to work. What if they represented more than just a Sunday morning or brief entertainment? What was Disney really trying to say? For artists like Keith Haring, cartoons become his way of communicating with people about what he thought was important and needed to be heard. Haring used cartoon figures in a powerful way within his work.

Sometimes watching animated or cartoons can teach us more life lessons than our family and friends can teach us. Cartoons, in general, are synonym for entertainment, pleasure and laughter, which comes with moral and huge life lessons to follow, which make life simpler, easier and of course, more beautiful. For example, after watching the animated movie “How to Train Your Dragon” it made me think how important it is not to judge anything before getting to know it (even if it is a fire breathing dragon).

As human’s, language is use to communicate, it can be used as a verbal tool, or written down to create a more physical approach in conveying information. The world has become digital and language is evolving; humans are able to interact with each other from opposite sides of the world, but have the simulation that they are talking face- to- face. To understand how far language has come, from oral language to the written word, we need to investigate the different aspects of it.

Key features of language include its words and their sub structures such as morphemes, graphemes and syllables at the writing level as well as reading or speaking, words, their meanings and contexts in which the words get spoken or read. Language has to be interpreted as a whole, and not just as the specific word. There must be an explicit pattern or structure. In order for language to be understood correctly, the meaning of words must be arranged in a given context. This is what constructs language; even though words are arbitrary themselves, in order to integrate as a language, they must be used in the appropriate context. This pre-established cultural context is what will enable effective communication. (Daniel Willingham, 2007, p. 1).

A cartoon is described in the oxford dictionary as “a simplified or exaggerated version or interpretation of something”.
