Are Cartoon's really beneficial for our children?

After doing a paper in my child's psychology class and creating my own cartoon for this class I questioned if cartoons are benefiting kids or hurting them? I will be the first to admit that I still watch cartoons and think that they are very entertaining but for children I'm not sure.I know what's right and what's wrong, and that's what children are learning. One cartoon I watched was the kids cartoon "The Backyardigans". I liked it because the children went on adventures in their backyards and it was very colorful and eye catching,  It showed children having an imagination just by using their backyards and I loved that. I didn't like the dangerous stunts that were shown in the cartoon however. The characters would stand on one foot while a horse is moving and without falling which is unrealistic for children to do. I don't want kids watching it and getting the wrong impression that they can do those things and think they wont get hurt from it. are these shows like "the Backyardigans"  really educating our kids with things such as having an imagination or hurting them by showing that it's okay to do certain things and make them believe that they wont get hurt? I'm not sure what the answer is because no cartoon is going to be perfect, but they could improve I believe.

Pornography

After watching the documentary about pornography I left class with a headache! While watching the documentary so much was going through my mind. things such as why do women do this, why do they let me treat them like this, is this the only way to make good money. I left class looking at porn in such a different light. It is no longer looked at to me as a mean of pleasurably for people but just objectivity for women. Women are clearly just objects in the majority of these porns and it's a sad sight to see. Women such as Jenna Jameson is trying to justify porn and make it seem as a respectable career. No it's not. It'w women(i use that term lightly) subjectify themselves as objects to these men just to please them. Their bodies are taking such a punishment that how can any women even enjoy sex anymore. I know that their vagina's are stretched beyond belief. This documentary changed my outlook on sex in general. I know it may seem like the documentary terrified me but no that's not it because I watched porn before but not like it was displayed in the documentary. I was looking at it in a different light this time then as entertainment. I'm not a big porn fan either. Pornographic videos are now making it hard for us non-porno stars sex life. Now men are going to watch porn or do watch porn and expect the same things from those women in the porn in real life. I am not a porn star so don't expect me to perform like one.
