When I was reading this article, the authors main idea was how child cartoons affect us. She was bringing up Disney movies, Popeye cartoon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, all of these things that we grew up watching, and then finding out the meaning behind these cartoons. A lot of these cartoons don't have the best message for children and give them the wrong ideas. Linda Christensen said:
Children's cartoons, movies, and literature are perhaps the most in-flu
entail genre "read." Young people, unprotected by any intellectual armor,
hear or watch these stories again and again. Often from the warmth of their
mother's or father's lap. The messages. or "secret education," linked with
the security of their homes, underscore the power these texts deliver. As
Tatum's research suggests, the stereotypes and world view embedded in the
stories become accepted knowledge.
