Bratz dolls!

Today, I did my research on Bratz dolls and how people think about the way they are being portrayed in the commercials.


Someone asked if Bratz dolls are bad influence on little children.
I have been quite shocked by some comments people have made.


For example, someone said:
"Nope; they're just dolls; the same goes for videogames, movies, cartoons, and any other form of media. The problem lays with the parents, not the toys. "


"IF I SAW A GIRL WEARING STUFF LIKE BRATZ I DONT BLAME DOLLS I BLAME THE PARERENTS WHO DIDINT RAIZE THE CHILD WELL!"


So many people were actually blaming PARENTS for the bad influence.


However, there were also some people who thought that Bratz dolls can be a bad influence on little children as children want to dress up and put on make-up like Bratz dolls.





LOOK at this picture of bratz dolls.They are all wearing heels and make-up. Some of them are wearing mini-skirts. This is very inappropriate for the age range of children who play with Bratz dolls.


I really do believe that these dolls can affect children a lot. Children are still young and they cannot judge what is right or wrong. According to the American Psychological Association, children only gain the ability to differenciate commercials and regular programming at eight. It is clear that children at this age are lacking the ability to recognize and critically analyze the advertisements. Children under the age of 8 unconsciously might think that the Bratz dolls look is the target they are meant to aspire to.
YEJI.
