After reading this article about TV's top 10 worst role models, I have came to a disagreement. In the article, the writer states some logical examples but after reading about the TV show ''Jessie'', that apparently shows stereotypical offenses, she/he has an invalid argument due to the fact that Ravi, a character, is technically adopted, from my experience of watching that show, and would Disney channel, a channel where kids watch everything and get ideas from, make kids think that racist and stereotypical jokes and characters are funny? No!
Of course ''Jersey Shore'', the show about brainless non-sympathetic alcoholics is a bad influence, but in the article it also states that kids' shows are also a bad way to give children and young adults advice. What would be the point of making a kids' shows if it sets a bad influence on people? The whole point of those is to entertain, not to give kids bad ideas. Eventually if it was a bad show I wouldn't let my children see it.
Overall the article is reasonable even though some statements are not to be agreed with. The writer makes really good examples, other than the disagreeable ones. Personally role models and influences affect most of the kids these days. Therefore we need to pick our influences wisely and confidently, other than that I'm out! Have a goodnight everyone!
