Lone Survivor: Mission First Every soldier in the ARMY of the United States of America knows the following phrase from the Soldier’s Creed: “I will always place the mission first” (ARMY.mil).

Cartoons : A double edged sword Ever since its invention, television has found its way into every child’s bedroom. It is simple yet powerful and has become an essential part of every household, entertaining children of all ages with the various animated programs it offers. However, the amount of time a child spends fixed in front of a television screen is incredible. In fact, children under the age of 11 spend more than 28 hours a week fixed in front of their television screens (Boyse).It is important

Cartoons on a television are glue to children. Children will spend hours a day watching their favorite cartoons, such as “SpongeBob SquarePants” or “Adventure Time.” Unfortunately, the content on these shows, and several others, can harm children. Directly, cartoons can affect how children think and act; additionally, this leads to the indirect effect of children physically hurting one another. Children daily see hundreds of violent acts on television. Most parents notice the obvious acts of gore

Cartoons, or as some scholars call caricatures, are metaphorical codification of humor through which cartoonists express their thoughts and opinions by commenting on specific contemporary social and political issues.

country are worried about the cartoons their children are watching. They feel that the cartoons have become too violent and are having negative long-term effects on children.

But parents say that children are learning these behaviors from cartoons and imitating them. Others however, disagree, they say that violence in cartoons does not effect children and

stuff, Cartoon Network can pervert any established ideology. It is for this reason that I find it hilarious that it would have the audacity to even pretend that it's a wonderful, charitable organization. As we all know, the truth is that if Cartoon Network doesn't realize that it's generally considered bad style to pilfer the national treasure, then it should read one of the many self-help books on the subject. I recommend it buy one with big print and lots of pictures. Maybe then Cartoon Network

certain cartoon. I would like to redraw my favorite cartoon characters and will inform why I like the cartoonist’s style. The cartoon art was one of the reasons I wanted to do try different artistic media such as drawing, painting, or graphic designing. I was thinking, I can ask other people about their favorite characters and in what style they would like to see in. For example, Snoopy from the Peanuts in a Tim Burton style or whatever they prefer.

1 “Chris, all I’m saying is that I am going to be the vigilante of our school,” My best friend John says to me. I come back to reality after having been zoned out for his conversation. John Silver, my best friend, has a meme page on instagram. He’s been thinking about making it a page used to anonymously deride people with offensive memes. He hasn’t decided yet. “I just don’t think it’ll get off the ground. If you can get the ball rolling then yeah, it’s a great idea,” I reply. He laughs and

nostalgia-filled cartoons of the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s it’s sad to say the days of Saturday-morning cartoons have been laid to rest. Or rather abruptly terminated would be a better way to put it. The death of cartoon tv TV show blocks has been tucked away in the box of many young children (mainly of the male demographic) right next to infrared peripherals, and chewed up and worn action figures that accommodated them. Though unlike many dying forms of media, the influence of Saturday-morning cartoons still
