Researchers warn of dangers
of dubbed dramas on Kurdish children
Erbil: A number of researchers, social workers and
psychologists in the Kurdistan Region have warned of
the risk of dubbed television dramas on the mental
health of children and the future of the region. A
statement from the group said: "Dubbed dramas,
especially South Korean ones, that are presented on
local and satellite channels that broadcast in the
region include scenes of violence, killing and
bloodshed, and such dramas have a remarkable
audience in the region. "The TV channels that
present such dramas are responsible for the risks
that threaten the future generations in the region.
"Because of the incomplete cognitive and mental
health aspects of the children, they may try to
implement what they see and this may threaten their
life or at least make them violent." The statement
noted that "guidance can be given before the
presentation of such drama and identify the minimum
age of the viewers, and present such programs after
12:00am". aknews.com
