Have you ever wandered while looking back at the many cartoons and children shows that you've watched during your adolescence, whether or not they have had a serious impact on the person that you have become, and now are today? Linda Christiansen can help to show you that there is more to this than meets the eye at first, helping individuals to understand where certain outlooks and attitudes towards particular subjects may have really come from. Christiansen argues that a majority of children's cartoons, shows, and movies all contain subliminal messages throughout them that directly affect perceptions later on down the road in adulthood.
For the most part a child will grow up ever even thinking about how the shows they had watched as children affected them in anyway. Christiansen says that this is because the messages that these shows contain become so deeply embedded, that it is even difficult for the victim of the messages to clearly see the outcome. Many students who have been told this theory reacted very poorly, many saying that they felt as if they had been deceived and lied to. These students feel strongly about the hypothesis, and as a result have a deep blame placed on any and all of the kids shows that they feel have actually stuck with them throughout adolescence, and affected their mental perceptions.
I am not quite sure if Christiansen is saying that these messages just simply exist and have an effect, or if she is saying that the makers of these shows directly include such messages with a goal of embedded them in young children's mind. I feel as if this is very wrong, and that the messages aren't planted on purpose. I do agree however, that these messages absolutely exist, and I feel it is directly because of the way children have the tendency to become infatuated with particular things that the messages are able to stick with them for so long, affectively affecting them down the road.
