VIOLENT CARTOONS

The heroes of today's children are no longer characters like Superman or The Sleeping Beauty, who fight for good or want to be happy, but people who fight to the death to gain power or life in other dimensions, and talk of military strategies , super bombs and modern weapons, with languages dotted with hate, vengeance and bitterness.



It is therefore time that children spend watching television, U.S. researchers reveal that 5 to 17 years have seen a lower average between 15 and 18 thousand hours, a figure that surpasses the 12 thousand hours devoted to classes the classroom. When these children reach age 70 will have spent seven years of their lives watching television. And here's the concern: every 9 minutes see an image of a firearm as a result of the numerous scenes of violence.



In parallel, the sale of toy guns for the U.S. industry represents nearly 100 million dollars annually. Leonardo Leal, 7, switched on the television every night to follow Goku in galactic battles. He has his mask, character figures and even the costume. Gone was the innocent for life coyote chasing a roadrunner who never caught, despite all their efforts, or "cute kitten" that also failed to eat Tweety, but those are always their intentions.



For many moms and dads, let your child control in hand for him to decide what cartoons to see is a harmless act. What I do not know is that sometimes, your content is not childish. "You get so distracted by other activities, and only sees the children are very entertaining, but do not realize what they see. For example, when I paid attention to" The Cow and Chicken ', and' Ranma ' I was surprised by language, family relations and so rare that a girl child becomes suddenly, "says Maria Galaviz, a homemaker.



In the animated army paraded before the eyes of children, morning, noon and night 365 days deflections such as a family in which a cow and a chicken are brothers, or a teenager named Ranma Saotome, who for some reason with cold water becomes hot women and the man becomes. They are also "Roco's World" and "Angry Beavers", with an abundance of violence and bad words.



Without doubt, the queen of these stories is "Dragon Ball", which is Goku, a boy who studies martial arts and takes more strength and experience, according to the fighting with ever more powerful enemies.



A DAY IN THE LIFE

...THE BRAIN...

The human brain


is divided into two cerebral hemispheres

The human brain has two hemispheres, united by the corpus callosum, which are related to very diverse areas of activity and act very different, but complementary. Arguably, each hemisphere, in a sense, perceive their own reality, or perhaps we should say that perceives reality in its own way. Both modes use high-level cognition.

Our brain is like a machine, a double box our heads, and each half has its own form of knowledge, its own way of perceiving external reality. We could say, in a way that each of us has two minds connected and integrated by a nerve fiber cables that connect the two hemispheres. No hemisphere is more important than another. To perform any task you need to use both hemispheres to help each other, especially if it is a complicated task.

Hemispheres:

Hemisphere, which is related functions: writing, logic, reasoning and rhythmic music. Moreover, the right hemisphere is related to the functions of intuition, emotion, imagination, artistic creativity and melodic music. You could say that a hemisphere thinks and the other feels.

The left brain controls language and logical thinking. Conversely, the right brain is the one involved in the creation of images and also what is known as inspiration.

Each cerebral hemisphere has a way of processing the information it receives.




Left Hemisphere

The left hemisphere processes information analytically and sequentially, step by step in a logical and linear. The left hemisphere is reviewed, abstracted, account, time, plans to step procedures, speaks, thinks in words and figures, that is, contains the ability for math and reading and writing.

This hemisphere employs a convergent thinking style (ie, it converges, it gives, which goes to ..., which flows), obtaining new information by using data already available to form new ideas or data you already have. Learn from part to whole and quickly absorbed the details, facts and rules, analyzes the information step by step, you understand the components one by one, and much more.








Right Hemisphere

The right hemisphere, on the other hand, seems to specialize in global perception, synthesizing the information that reaches it. With him see things in space, and how to combine the parts into the whole. Thanks to the right hemisphere, we understand metaphors, we dream, we create new combinations of ideas.

Is the expert in the process of simultaneous or parallel processing, ie no more than a property to another, but seeks patterns and gestalts. Processes information in a comprehensive manner, based on the whole to understand the different parts that make up the whole. The hemisphere which sees it as a whole is intuitive rather than logical, thinks in images, symbols and feelings. Is imaginative and fantastic, space and perception.

This hemisphere employs a divergent thinking style. Learn from whole to part. To understand the parts you need from the big picture, does not analyze the information, but synthesized. Is relational, not worried about the parties themselves, but knowing how they fit and relate to each other party, seeing all this, as a whole, as a gestalt.
