Dora the Explorer

Technology affecting our psychology In the past 200 years, the use of technology has changed dramatically. From the first printing press to the latest smart device, our brains have recognized that there is something doing the work for us. While this may be a good thing, it has changed the way we function with our day to day lives. The issue becomes generations now rely on technology to do their daily functions for them.

tell me everything would be okay. I thought I lost my dad that day. That is the time I can say I knew what it felt like to have the weight of the world on your shoulder now that the world was crashing down on me at six years old wrapped in a Dora the Explorer blanket. I am, and always will be the poster child for a daddy’s girl. My dad, a tall, bushy haired man who got mushy anytime I’d walk into a room, loved me every single second of every day and I never questioned that, except for…

shows the media influence and the culinary system from the United States to the world (160-162). Fast food restaurants, such as McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken are easy to find in any place of the universe. TVs programs from Friends to Dora the explorer are watch all around the globe. America’s music and dances are taking the world’s parties and to do not forget that Sponge Bob Square Pants’ song that everybody hums. These are only few examples of the influence that the United States…

The Pampers Easy Ups for girls are sold in pink packaging to fit recent Western gender stereotypes. Marketers use Dora the Explorer and Disney princesses to appeal to young girls and to help socialize them from a young age. Princesses are portrayed as the damsels in distress teaching girls to assume their role as the weaker and more emotional sex. On the other hand, Dora represents an anti-barbie character, but nonetheless teaches young girls how to act. In contrast, the boys version of Pampers…

I was heading towards my kitchen. It was time. Not just any time, it was medicine time. My mom sat me down and came towards me with the small cup of grape medicine, which is obviously delicious…not. This is it. I’m going to die. Goodbye, Dora the Explorer. I love you. The tears were starting to bundle up and suddenly tears were falling down my face. At this point, I was sobbing over the idea of drinking that disgusting gooey, purple syrup. Tears were falling down my face, my mom was telling…

I’ve known Ellen since first grade, and we became friends in fourth when we were on the same battle of the books team. However, we started to grow apart in eighth grade, as people usually do when growing up. We started hanging out less and less so I was surprised when she invited me to go watch a movie (I can’t remember which) with her, her mom, and her mom’s friend. My mom dropped me off at her house and then we drove to the movie theater. I was surprised (yet again) to find out that Ashley…

I was very intrigued with the TED videos that were assigned to this paper. I am always interested in learning more about how children at such a young age develop everything that is essential for when we age in adulthood. In the first video “What Do Babies Think?” The first experiment included babies that were the age of fifteen to eighteen months. I was amazed to find there was a significant amount of difference between a fifteen-month and an eighteen-month baby and how their brain processes…

that doll, you can bet that I loved the cartoon too. My two favorite cartoons were Dora the Explorer and Curious George. My eyes were stuck to the TV as long as those shows were on. I was so tired of seeing teddy bears everywhere and not having Dora and Curious George in my room, I wanted a room makeover. I was only 4 years old and I was already thinking I was too old for teddy bears. My dad changed my curtains to Dora and my bed sheets to Curious…

paper or complete an assignment, these individuals would encourage me to keep my head held up high and to never give up. Throughout it all, I can only say I am glad to be where I am today. Early on, I specifically remember watching shows like ‘Dora the Explorer’ as a child on television; the simple,…

96% of families have at least one television in their house (Bigner & Gerhardt, 2014). It is very important for parents to interact with their children face to face. The use of screen time eliminates this possibility because the television and other screens are a distraction to anyone who is watching. Technology has changed significantly in the last fifteen years and has developed more software that is “kid friendly” (Albaiz, Ernest, Essa,Newton, & Sharkins, 2015). Parents need to reduce the…
