Family Guy
Nowadays almost every one can't stop watching T.V. This
generation can't live without T.V, and it plays a big role in our
society. T.V shows us the news of the world in two ways,
serious and derisory. For example of the derisory " Family Guy
". It’s a cartoon T.V acts about the problems that faces the
American families. Although, its one of the most popular T.V
series in the U.S., a lot of people attacked it, and it was stopped
twice because of the audacious episodes, but it also came back
twice. " Family Guy " shows to the world that the US culture is
decadent, and the American citizen are lazy and stupid, but they
are not. In my opinion I think it's not useful for children's.
There are many impolite jokes, violence, and sexual jokes and
activities.
First, The impolite jokes have a negative impact on children.
When the children’s learn how to speak rude and impolite that
is a big problem, and the " Family Guy " show famous in
impolite jokes. In these days children have changed than before.
Before the kids do not dare, or can say obscene words, opposite
these days. There are many reasons that changed the children's
manners, and a great example is " Family Guy ". Children have
their own time period to learn about certain things. Sigmund
Freud can help understand the concepts behind this. The show is
a cartoon, and the cartoons only for the children’s. If the
children's learn those things, that is really trouble for them and
our society. In these days I surprised from the words of
children, there are many rude things that they said. LaChrystal
D Ricke says, “ The language on Fox's Family Guy has been the

2. subject of criticism, foundation reports, and even lawsuits. The
show's creators assert that the language used in the show simply
provides satirical social commentary; others believe the
language is inappropriate for broadcast television. This study
investigated the presence of derogatory language in Family Guy
in order to make an argument regarding the potential cultivating
effects of such language when presented in an animated format.
The study found that derogatory messages were present in
roughly 9% of Family Guy scenes and that correlations existed
between the types of characters that were the senders and
recipients of derogatory messages and the types of messages
transmitted. ’’ I agree with him that is inappropriate for
broadcast television, because it have a many satirical social
commentary.
Second, I think violence can wait for a child because children
between the ages of 5 to 13 are very honest people. They might
don't like someone and they can treat them bad once learning
about violence, and the innocent school mate will be likely
bullied by these children. Children should not be introduced to
violence in their heads they can enjoy it and think its okay and
thereby committing something later in the future. Bonnie A
Lazar says " Despite an abundance of research demonstrating an
association between heavy viewing of TV violence & aggressive
behavior, regulatory policy has failed to decrease violence on
children's TV. Here, research & theory that explain why
children exposed to high rates of television violence may be at
greater risk of developing school & social problems is
reviewed. It is recommended that this should be a major concern
for social work. " I agree with him, and I think " Family Guy "
helping our children to learn more about violence and how they
engage in violence. There are many episodes that's about
violence and that is wrong, the episodes must to be purposeful.
If human learn something from childhood he will never forget it
when he grow up. This is more of the reasons why some people
get sick psychologically. Yes there are many violence activates
in our life, but we can explain to them why these things

3. occurred. Studies by George Gerbner, Ph.D., at the University
of Pennsylvania, have shown that children's TV shows contain
about 20 violent acts each hour and also that children who
watch a lot of television are more likely to think that the world
is a mean and dangerous place.
Finally, For the sexual activities they can wait because they
didn't understand what is going on or what they are talking
about, you don't want to put a child in that responsibility of
making his own child to have a lot of time to thinking about
that. Children’s will learn the sexual activities when they grow
up by schools and parents, but the " Family Guy " there is allot
of sexual activities that's makes them learn it when they are
child.
In short, The " Family Guy " must to stop those impolite jokes,
violence, and the sexual activities. Because it had a very bad
affects on the US citizen not only the children's. Before I came
to US I was thinking that the American are lazy and racism, but
they are not, they are better than that things. If this show didn't
stopped we will face a big problem with the children's.
