Abstract
The introduction of new media, including televisions, radios, schools, and religious institutions, as indicators of development and globalization, shifted the primary sources of education and moral guidance from community elders and storytellers to formal structural organizations, like religion. In the current media environment, animated cartoons have become a leading form of entertainment and social engagement for kids. These cartoons now effectively occupy the space once held by oral storytelling, shaping the beliefs, values, and behaviors of younger generations.
