The Impact of Animation on the Character of The Arab Child

Arab television industry has been lack of maturity compared with their counterparts in the west . Most children's television  channels based on the Arabic traditional formula and forms of western television or just the exiting  version of films produced by " Hollywood and Disney"  such as ' the lion King , Snow White and others' .

The attention of Arab experts in the fields of children to some of these programs and movies promoting the behavioral patterns that are inconsistent with the values of Arab society . However haphazard of space stations and specialized digital channels .The matter means that there is a flood of television content in some of the values and some are not commensurate with Arab , and this raised in the past few years questions and concerns about the effect of TV in the mental health of the child physical ,psychological, growth and development.

And certainly we are all aware that the child enter the world of television before entering school.

There are lots of studies show the risk of imported animation programs of the up bringing of the child's personality that do not reflect the Arab culture and Arab values , but carrying values and western cultures  that negatively affect our children.

It is confirmed the seriousness of these programs and movies as an occupier who is a child 's life where spent about 22 thousand hours of his time before TV .When finishing high school have shown that 88 percent of animation compared to 11 thousand hours in the classroom.

The presence of western characters in his life be the example to be taken in the post , which works to impede cognitive development and reduce the natural interaction between the child and the family. In fact, watching TV is more activities that consume time of the child except to sleep . We already know that TV  may prevent the exploration, education and interaction with parents and others , which are essential and indispensable for the development of skills needed by our young children to grow intellectually physically and socially. It also affects brain development through abnormal levels of stimulation, putting him to the disruption in its ability to focus , a consistent pattern of disorientation ,hyperactivity and aggressive . TV limited the activity ,sedentary along with the fact that most TV programs were broadcast at the present time is dominated by violence and hostility and child pornography. So, it is the worst example to follow.

 So , experts advise education in Egypt and the Arab  world , the importance of the choice of programs designed and appropriate for children and encourage them  to view with only seen in the non-indulgence in the matter, and since childhood , when children begin to form habits and acquired any pre-school habits.
