very Saturday morning, as a child was filled with morning cartoons and snacks. I would wake up, go to the living room, and turn on Scooby Doo from nine to eleven in the morning. Society has changed the opinions of what makes a cartoon “good.” A majority of Hannah Barbara’s films were criticized for violence until Scooby Doo came along. Saturday, September 13, 1969, is the day the first Scooby Doo episode aired. It was different from most children TV shows.

We are taught to look right in front of us, but most of the time, we miss the most important things. Scooby Doo teaches many messages. Real monsters are humans is the main point of the show. After every mystery, a person who either put people in harm’s way or caused destruction was behind it. It taught the young audience what police do and how they help with criminals. There are also three other big messages brought across to its viewers. The first one is People are going to make fun of you no matter what, so you might as well accept it. When you look at the show, you see a bunch of hippies and a dog. In the end of every case, the villain says, “I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for those meddling kids and their dog.” Guest characters often make fun of the gangs’ appearance and think they do not know what they are talking about because they are young. However, all the gang members bring something to offer, which leads to the next message. Everyone has something to offer. Velma brings her intelligence. Daphne brings all the supplies that gang needs. Fred brings his brain to create successful traps. Scooby brings his nose to smell the criminal’s footsteps. Shaggy brings the food so the gang has the energy to plan. The last big message is making the most of what you have. The gang often finds themselves in different situations and regions. Whether they are in the desert, rainforest, snowstorm, …show more content…

He teaches kids that you have to persevere through your troubles to get to the end and that it is okay to be scared sometimes. Norvel, shaggy, is the hungry one and Scoobert’s best friend. He teaches kids that it is important to always have your friends back and encourage them to face their fears. In life, things are never straightforward; we have to go into depth or step out of the box to see what is right in front of

For example in the book "Lord of the Flies" there is a group of "bad boys" they do a few wild

In today’s society, cartoons are playing a vital role in the changing behavior of children. We accept television as supervision for our children, it has virtually become a built in baby-sitter. Children’s Saturday morning cartoons have an average of 20 - 25 aggressive acts per hour. Children that watch an abundance of television have been found to be more restless and have less self-restraint than children that watch minimal amounts of television. More research needs to be done to gain a better understanding of the long-lasting effects that can be carried over from childhood to adulthood.
