Cocuklarda Din Dilinin Olusturulmasi: Cizgi Filmler Ornegi
Television can draw up a right framework for children to communicate with religion in a positive way, as well as adversely affect the process of religious knowledge and cause "false" or " biased "attitudes and behaviors related to religious concepts and issues. Children are confronted with religion and religious values at a time when the mental and emotional status of them are in still formation. During this period, mental designs and guidance provided by TVs and particularly cartoons become more important. One of the hypotheses of this study is that religious language is a discourse containing the content that enables the implementation of religion in life. In addition to this, it is assumed that the language of religion is a domain that covers all kinds of concepts and symbols referring to religious beliefs and religion oriented life. On the basis of these, this study seeks answers to the following questions about the language of religion: Is the language of religion created by cartoons broadcasted on television? If so, what framework is established regarding religion and its place in daily life? And what kind of informational processes are followed to achieve this framework? Descriptive analysis method was used in the study. Due to the limitations of access, four television channels were selected from among the terrestrial TV channels, two of them operate under foreign ownership and the others are in domestic ownership. With the purposeful sampling model, a representative sample was chosen from the broadcasts of the selected televisions. It is targeted that the findings will contribute to both communication and religious sciences.
