Abstract

In this paper, I will discuss how cartoon violence affects behavioral patterns in childhood. Several researchers have confirmed that visual media can affect the behavioral development in children because they learn social norms by following examples from social agents. Cartoons are a part of the visual media industry, and that is one of the major social agents that shape perspectives, rules, and norms in society. However, data analysis indicates that cartoons for children are frequently disguised as fantasy stories, but they promote more violence than programs focused on older audiences. Chronic exposure to violence through cartoons implicates normal psychological ...

This is not always a successful defense for long term because it entails forcing disturbing ideas, memories or wishes into the unconscious, in which, although hidden, can create anxiety.
