Children tales

A few days ago, I read an article written by Santiago Rocalingo that talked about what he thinks about the children's STORIES or the fairy tales. The author believes that the children's STORIES shouldn't be for educated the children or for give them certain "good" values, it should serve to entertain them. For this, the author is against the modification of children's books like Hansel and Gretel, The Little Thumb and many more which the original plot talked about leave the sons in the middle of the forest, children who steals,... and rewrite them trying to turn them in "politically correct stories" as the author says, where the bad character always lose (but without violence) and the good one always succeeds, the families are always nice and the characters an example. The author think that in this way, we are not protecting our CHILDREN, we are creating drag stories and making that children prefer the TV or the PlayStation where they can PARTICIPATE in wars and kill as many people as the want without anybody says nothing. I DON'T not totally agree with the author. In one hand, it's true that children's stories could be a little BORING because are always the same: there’s a good character with who the child want to identify because should be the hero of the story, should have a lot of friends and should win against the bad character. This bad characters is the one who the child don't want to identify because should be ugly, rude, without friends (in some cases he have a henchman who isn't as bad as his master but who will follow him anywhere he goes or will do anything he say) and should lost against the good character. This is in that way because children's stories are directed to a public who is still learning to differentiate between what it's right and what it's wrong and for this, they need to set in a good model who have the right attitude and with who can be identify. If it weren’t in that way, which role model we would be teaching to the children? But on the other hand, I think that it's also true that nowadays, it's useless try to change the children's books because they can play with the more violent play in the PlayStation, the computers,...
