Sometimes the criminal characters might be a superhero or an actor who acts as a superhero in the film might have some crimes in his daily life. These type of events can be fallowed from the press by a child and because of lack of identification between the real and the fiction world, the children can feel sympathy towards the criminals because of this superhero character in the film. (Yavuzer 93)
The aggressive behaving of the hero, like inability at keeping their temper, their rude and aggressive ways to cope with the situations and their enemies characters reflects an aggressive behavior to the viewer or to the reader. The most effect is received by the children and at the development stage , they directly absorb those type of behaving in their personality.
It is a fact that children grew up in an aggressive atmosphere are most probably having aggressive persons in the future. This shows that children can be effected from the behaving around them. This rule does not change even it is created by imaginary characters like superheroes. Aggressive behaviors are very hard to cope with when they placed into the personality of a child in the early days of the childhood. After this stage, this aggressive personality controls the development of the persons psychological health.(Gleitman 57)
The negative effects of superheroes are getting heavier as the technological improvements occur in all areas. The new technologies are helping to create superheroes with better specialties. Better appearance, more strength. More intelligence and higher skills are the gifts of new technologies to superheroes. The film technology is making the superheroes more real to the viewers, TV technology is insisting on not allowing the children to be without the superheroes. The computer technology and internet is putting the superheroes in front of the children also in digital world. So the world is getting harder and harder for living without superheroes especially for the children.
Through out the report, the hazardous negative effects of the superheroes on the children are explained. These are mostly the problems effecting the personality of the person. As the personality starts to take its shape from the childhood stage, some of the negative effects from the superhero characters can directly influence the personality.
Starting from 7 years old children, the negative effects of the superheroes are being seen. The superheroes are everywhere in the life of us. As the new generations are being educated by superheroes instead of teachers or parents, it is getting harder to identify the negative effects of the superheroes because it is getting harder to find anybody grown up away from the superheroes to make objective comments. As we can not ask a fish to describe what the water is, we can not also ask the negative effects of superheroes to a person grown up under the negative effects of superheroes.
Children are tasting the violence by the superheroes. A child used to take his parents or teachers as a model in his/her growing up stage but today, from the very early years, parents and teachers are replaced by superheroes. The promotion campaigns in different sectors ,from food to textile, are enhancing this trend. The superheroes are with the children even in their meal.
Children are very familiar with the violence and crime. While superheroes were killing their enemies, the children had learned all the type of crimes, how can a successful crime be, which weapons are needed and how they are used.
The superheroes also took the place of the security forces and the justice system. The superheroes who are above the low and fighting for the rights of people created an understanding against the security forces and the justice system inside the subconscious of the children. New generations are loosing their trusts for these members of the public. Also the public had received a share from this lack of trust.
Superheroes are harmful to the psychological and the social development of the child. These heroes can be in a Hollywood film or in a cartoon. It does not change anything.
