Definitonal Argument Ideas

In my paper I am going to define fairytales. In today's society fairytales are considered to be great things for little girls and boys and are considered the norm. What if exposure to these fairytales is harming our children though. Exposure to too many fairy tales leads children to believe that reality should be like the fairytales. When this reality is not that way then this leads child to feel bad about themself and their life. Is it then possible that this lack of self-confidence could lead to problems with development and even depression at a younger age? Also this could lead to acting out in school, bullying and at the extreme end of things maybe even substance abuse/alcohol problems.

The opposite side says that fairytales stimulates the child’s imagination and is beneficial to development. Exposing children to this much creativity acts as a catalyst in development of the imagination and can lead to a more productive life because when they grow up they will have a better understanding of creativity and be leading entrepreneurs in the work force. We all know that in today’s society, entrepreneurs are usually the most successful. This success and productivity could also lead to more happiness and maybe even lead to a longer life.
