Role models

A study conducted by child and family protection association shows that more and more young people and children under 10 years of age tend to imitate movies, cartoons and music stars’ behavior in their need for a role model.

If we take a random TV show, we notice than more than a third of it contains elements of vulgarity, violence, atheism or frequenting certain people and places that don’t really have any good influence.

Moreover, it is considered as cool and fashionable to have all sorts of vices. There have recently appeared a lot of such programs with all sorts of "fights" between good and evil,

where the protagonists use magic to defeat their enemies, where violence is highly valued, where there are a lot of vulgar words and insults. And an innocent and naive child can learn that one should use magic as that magic makes you look superior, it helps you control the world, and so you can control anybody. Aren’t these bad things to teach a child?
