      Well, take the happy ending idea. Most of kids are raised watching Disney movies and similar stuff. The ending is always happy whether a happy ending was earned or not. The little mermaid for example, in the original story she lost her soul. Disney rewrote it of course. So it went from being a cautionary tale of being a disobedient child to a tale that teaches disobedience as a way to become happy. The idea that everything simply works out is crap. It has to be earned, but that's not what kids are taught by TV and movies.
      Now I'm the first to say that it's the parents job to nut up and raise their kids instead of putting them in front of the tv. Still, there's no getting past the influence of TV and movies unless you throw away your TV and homeschool the kids. I hope this makes sense. I'm running a fever so I'm not sure...
