I really feel pity towards those kids who watch the newscasts every day, if they want this or not. I wonder what is the effect of these horrible news of murders, destructions and wars on the kids' minds? Also what is the effect of the political terms on them?
There is no doubt that the mind of the kid is neutral, which means that he has no trends towards a specific political party. So he can not realize the difference between what is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong. But it is very evident that these horrible news has a negative effect on them in the future.
I don't call for preventing kids from watching the newscasts, as then we are like the ostrich that hide its head in sand when it feels danger and thinks that it is invisible. But what I call for is simplify the political terms to our kids and help them to understand them. These political terms such as: normalization of the international relations, the presidential due, democracy, resistance, terrorism, and Zionism, which the kids hear in the newscasts every day and have no idea about what it means.
We can simplify these terms and explain them to help our kids to understand what is going on around them and realize the meaning of what they watch every day in the newscasts.
In the day of globalization, this current phase, our growing kids, that represent the next generations, are liable to loose their identity. So it became important to teach them the political principles, then they will be able to understand what is going on and protect them of being extravagant or radical, or loosing their identity.
When I was young, I remember that there was a subject taught in the schools and was specialized for this reason. I don't know if this subject is still taught or not. It concerns mainly with helping the student to realize and feel the meaning of home and affiliation, and also other terms like religion, the people, and many other important information.
I call for working on helping our kids to understand and realize the main political principles, so they can understand their identity and nationality, and know more about the current cases that are related to his home country. Let it be another kind of breeding kids, upbringing them according to social principles and also political ones side by side.
