1. What do people already know about my topic?

Everybody knows that cartoons are a big part of children's delight. Cartoons refer to "TV programs and short films for children featuring anthropomorphized animals, superheroes , the adventures of child protagonists and related genres (Wikipedia)". Aside from this theoretical definition, people all have watched cartoons once or twice during their childhood and might even recall the joy and hapiness brought by favorite characters and new episodes.


 2. What research has already been done about my topic?

https://www.ied.edu.hk/primaryed/eproceedings/fullpaper/RN287.pdf- This research was conducted and the results are against my topic. But this study lacks detail in the subjects of the study and the results were made in short term, and has the potential to be changed in long term.

 

http://www.wndu.com/news/healthnews/headlines/How_watching_cartoons_may_affect_your_childs_brain_performance_129672953.html: This research gives out that the experiment is not reliable because the 'bad' symptoms of watching cartoons were temporary.

: This is a word of a neuroscientist at the famous kids and family entertainment company, Hasbro that cartoons are beneficial to children's brain development.

3. What are the implications of my argument (What if I'm right? What if I'm right and people ignore me?)

 

If I'm right children should no longer be scolded for watching too much cartoons and parents will change their biased view towards cartoons. The cartoon industry will no longer be blamed that they make children behave in a bad way. If people were to ignore me even if I'm right, people will enjoy cartoons without worrying about their harmful influences because it doesn't exist.
