Most of us are thinking as adults, not as children. Just because we 'survived' the acts or scenes in such cartoon doesn't make them less harmful. Children are 'innocent' and inquisitive. I'd want a child psychologist or those in education to come sum this up. I've listened to them and when they educate you, you'd be amazed at how wrong we thought we knew better. Until then, lips sealed before I am called an alarmist. |

*Singing* As u go tru life u'll see,there is so much that we don't undastand, and d only thing we know is things don't turn out d way we planned,But u'll see everyday that we'll never turn away,when it seems all ur dreams come undone,,we'll stand by ur side filled with hope and filled with pride,,We are more than we are we are one!!!* Learnt this song 4rm watching Lion king and u don't have to listen deep to undastand d message of peace,love and unity it preaches!better than listening to some fake pastors rant evry second abt prosperity with no message of peace and salvation!and watchin silly nollywood movies! Oh am in love with disney cuz of its beautiful songs not those irrelevant,meaningless,silly songs(both naija nd western)u allow ur kids sing and dance to. All u fake parents need to be charged with child abuse,denying kids what they need to learn! Asswipes! |

Kaycee7: So you people will go to work, leave the T.V to raise your kids and then come back to talk shit. Ben 10 is violent? Demonic? About Revenge? Wonders shall never end. Yet every kid can watch Dumebi the dirty girl. Mbok 1 carton of bee..I mean, ribena for you. Excellent post. 2 Likes |

gbaky_floor: This what most of you are getting wrong. Ben 10 has a child as a major character unlike cartoons of olden days.You are spot on with your last paragraph. You can't be saying you turned out right after watching violent/abusive cartoons as a kid when you can't express an opinion as an adult in a public forum with simple decorum. Truth is that media in any format is impressionable to all minds, whether kids or adults. We are all aware of how Al Pacino, in the movie 'Scarface' glamorously planted the f-word to millions of people's minds all over the world in the 90s. Advertising is a billion dollar industry because of it's power to sway your behavior, even as an adult. Tobacco/cigarette advertising had to be banned completely. As per the Ben 10 and the rest of them, I believe they should be rated PG13, unlike what is obtainable today in families where they are being fed to infants (under 5s). 1 Like |

steph7: eeerm, what is wrong with ben 10, y'all shouldn't tell me its demonic Madam Ben10 is demonic, if monsters appear to your children in real life will u let your children embrace them?. Teach them about the word of God or make them watch scientific cartoons and movies. Thanks John |

I am a proud teacher with NCE and B.ED in primary education studies (PES) and Childhood psychology! I have taught in nursery,primary class but presently in adult education class and a part time PES lecturer in a college cuz am stil a corper,unlike most of my colleagues I have a passion for teaching and choose the career myself.but I don't have much to say to u cuz I'v said enuf on this thread and given example with a deeperlife child that doesn't watchcartoon but he's very rough,cud turn a tidy room upside down in 5secs! My dear most of these kids get this traits from parents or born with it and I won't lie that some are not influenced by what they see or watch,as a parent u shud knw wat influences ur kids and find a solution either by puttin it away or finding somtin better to replace it(jst like a lady mentioned she prefer telletubbies)and not generalising or bringing in some silly unrealistic religious belief to what is totally harmless!my niece and nephews watch disney a lot even Ben10 and I tell u it affects them positively cuz they are quiet and intelligent with my little niece always tryin to be neat and act like a fairy tale princess with good command of English. She always want to wear a dress and not shorts (she tells u princesses are decently dressed)at age 6!I am sure most of these parents argue or fight infront of their kids and when the child turns violent,they blame Ben10 and cartoons! Pikin wey wan spoil go spoil! Teach them right and pray for them and if cartoons affects them negatively pls kp that belief in ur house and don't generalise! *smh*Africans and their primitive way of thinking, we are very religious but more of hypocrists!!

Kc pls allow this shallow minded pple,we v realy said enuf! Ndi ara afta fighting in front of ur kids(evn bed fight) u blame cartoon. My cousin in d US went for a parents meeting in schl and a teacher warned parents to be careful what they do infront of their kids and shut their door always cuz a child challenged a teacher in class when the teacher said d soul goes to heaven 1st when one dies, but d child said its d leg cuz each time mummy and daddy are doin it,mumy raises her legs and screams God am comin!!

gbaky_floor: This what most of you are getting wrong. Ben 10 has a child as a major character unlike cartoons of olden days.Ben does not always disobey his granddad. And when he does, he gets punished. Ben quarrels with Gwen but has never fought with her. Ben fights aliens that are destroying the city and saves people and infrastructure when he can. Seriously, whats your problem? At least, be truthful in your criticism. A. Write out which media products were influencing those kids. B. Quote some violent posts me and my fellow cartoon advocates have made or apologise for that false accusation. 1 Like |

Infact, the only channels we watch is Nickoledon and cartoon network. The moment u change it to another channel, it means you are ready to watch dat channel with cries and disturbances from my 5year old cousin. Got no choice dan to watch it with them. To me, there is notin wrong with Ben 10. |

Sorry, seems some of your kids have/had issues or you are making embellishments to buttress your points. 5/6 year olds jumping off storey buildings cos they want to imitate Superman? Samurai X was straight up gory.. I loved it. Voltron, Samurai Jack, Ghost busters, all violent. I think the trick is in restricting kids from watching these sort of cartoons till they get to a reasonable age like 6 or 7. Forcing an 8 year boy on Dora the Explorer tho is just plain cruel. |

OreofeeOluwa: It is not a good cartoon.just too violent.my little cousin when he was 2, watched ben 10,went to their balcony,a storey building and jumped down from there trying to imitate ben10. thank GOD nothing happened to him.that cartoon is evili did same as a kid, after watching spiderman, and ended up with broken tooth and in an emergency ward. |

Okija_juju: Most cartoons contains violence.. Thank you. To further kill the notion that watching the likes of Ben 10 ALWAYS results bad behaviours, I'll use myself as an example. My parents were free with us kids watching cartoons (eg Silver Hawk, Tom & Jerry, Voltron, Freakazoid, Max Steel, Power Rangers and even Samurai X) on local stations, insofar as we did our chores and homework. We turned out all right. I'd worry more about pörn than Ben 10. |

cecegorz: Adults included. You should note even adults are susceptible to the same suggestions as children, not to mention we had our bad eggs before the TV came to us. Shiwlding them fails because there are other avenues through which they are exposed to such violence or nüdity prevail. A good thing is to discuss such things with you child and make yourself available for questions regarding them. Let your child know he/she shouldn't be afraid to approach you. And allow for the fact that for all your shielding (if it works) children can still turn out wrong. |

Tobiegal: Depending on the age of the child, i really dont like the program.is tom and jerry in any way nonviolent or educative? if you ask me, tom and jerry makes the kids kinda dumb and yet parents will prefer their kids to watch this... personnally i think this this thread shoulda bin based on a bunch o cartoons that arent educative in any way not just ben10 |

Kaycee7: Violence isn't just physical scuffles but display of aggression. Take a look at the sixth-seventh lines of your post, don't you think your choice of words come out as aggressive and in fact can incite violence. Fights doesn't necessarily mean physical blows: actions of Ben 10 and Gwen towards each other can be termed as a fight. Ben 10 saves people? What about those he destroyed? Isn't it against most laws of countries not to take the law into your hands. I can equate Ben 10 actions with the actions of some Nigerians who burn/kill criminals. Why do you think people no longer wince at the site of violent scenes? They rather take pictures and upload it online as if they are shopping. Frequent exposures to violent, pornographic, racist etc media products have been found to have effects on most adults talk less children who are easily impressionable. I am not against cartoon: I frown at parents allowing their little kids below ten to watch certain cartoons that are meant for teenagers. That is my personal opinion and it shouldn't stop you from allowing your kids to watch them. Neither should it give you the avenue to be condescending. 1 Like |

gbaky_floor:Bro, you're pushing me into the corner. I've re-read the whole post and I don't see how I've been aggressive. Actually, am starting to think u're paranoid. Leave two kids in a cave from childhood, they'll still quarrel like Ben and Gwen. Its just how kids are. And still Ben would go any length to save Gwen if she's in danger and vice versa. Okay, didn't u see their r/ship in Alien Force. Much mature. They get along just fine. Ben has never intentionally killed any villain. Sometimes, he even tries to save them. Isn't that a good example of the biblical teaching : "Show love to those who hate you and pray for your enemies." Gbaky, stop being biased and start telling yourself the truth. You're mistaken. God bless and protect you. Happy Sunday. P.S: I didn't notice there were morals in Ben 10 till today. Thanks for that. |
