3. Discussion
There was a lot of aggressive in program one compared to the other programs (2 and 3)
There was no aggression in program 2 and recorded the least aggression out of the three
programs. Program 1 had the most prosocial behavior alongside its most aggressive acts. The
cartoon in the program 1 is targeted for the young audience. Since it had most of the prosocial
behavior and aggressive actions, it may affect the behavior of the viewers, instilling a lot of
negative response on young audiences. Program 3 involved a disagreement between the two
neighbors. It also included a prosocial behavior. Program three would have a negative impact
on the viewers (adults) who may be watching it. The program involved people just learning
new skills in mathematics. It may have a lot of positive impact on the children and adults
watching it. (word: 142)
4. Reflection
Throughout this process, it is quite evident that such behaviors are always common among
people in ordinary life. Children often portray a sense of aggression and usually want to act
back when insulted just the same way as depicted in the cartoon program. Also, adults get
angry at some point but have a higher sense of reasoning. Such are the reasons behind the
prosocial behaviors portrayed by adults to their enemies or other parties even after being
offended. It is also evident that in a learning scenario, the participants are always calm with
no sense of aggression to instill the knowledge into the learner rather than forcing them. This
is often the situation at most institutions and or programs aimed at educating the young.

5. Response
Reviewing all the three videos was quite hard, primarily to determine the level of
aggression and the number of prosocial behaviors in all of them. I learned that the intended
audience might affect the manner at which a program is recorded or composed then passed to
the audience. The purposes of poses programs or running programs that are available to
people also matter. A program meant for children may be aggressive if they are intended to
entertain but maybe calm if they intend to teach the young audience. People also act
differently based on their ages. Cartoons are meant to entertain the young audience and
involve a lot of aggression to draw their attention and glue them to the screen, which is
different from adult programs. (word: 126)
