Do you like Dora the Explorer? She is a rather famous Nickelodeon character for educating young children. While we sure don't require a mascot or some sort, "Dora the Explorer" has clearly shown that there is a reason why adults spend much money on their children. Never heard of Dora before? Take a look here:Why Dora seems so interesting is that she is able to converse with a Monkey who can be declared to be just as intelligent as herself. This monkey (her sidekick in the show) is also known as "Boots". Why I am putting this post up today is because I feel the need to highlight the violent aspects of our educational characters. Some sick mind (maybe like mine) decided to go put up a totally different Dora show that will make children cry. You don't understand what I mean? Just look at this 8 second video:
Go up to Youtube today and make a simple search for Dora the explorer. You should see many videos that are linked to violence, gunfire and expletives. While I am not trying to sound like some jerk here, you need to know that our education system is simply evolving. And this evolution is not due to the changes which are made by our respective governments. It is more like we are stepping into the minefield without knowing it. All of us are making major changes by browsing the internet!
Almost anything can be found online and this has caused several adjustments in our lives. I mean, why do you bother to go to the Library to find out more about elephants when you just need to do a basic search on Google? Similarly, I need to say that we are exposing our children to more trouble without realizing it. This is probably serious. But, hey, there is still a need for entertainment for people (like me)?
Crap, I better end this post before I start to contradict myself again. Anyway, Kudos to the person who made the video. It is not encouraged to post up such videos with such graphic content. But, I got to admit, he is freakin' talented.
