Alarming news: violent games in schools through Squid Game!

The brutal scenes of the Netflix series "Squid Game" have been exciting since their debut, especially among young spectators. Hwang Dong-Hyuk, creator of the series, expressed his shock about reports that children and young people imitated the violent games and even “punished” classmates. "I would not have expected children and young people to watch the series," he said and asked parents to talk to their children about the content before the second season on December 26th is available on Netflix. He warned of the danger that can bring these misunderstandings, especially since the series is not suitable for children, such as Volksblatt reported.

away from the prejudices

While "Squid Game" is known for his brutal representation of competition and survival, the "Project Mc²" series relies on a positive message by addressing stereotypical thinking about natural sciences. The series presents talented girls as mathematics and science experts who are successful in a team of strong women. The story not only inspires with its ingenuity, but also promotes interest in StEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). This presentation, which also appeals to boys, is emphasized by popkultur.de as fresh and inspiring development, which shows that there is no reason to restrict the fascination for science and technology to gender roles.

These two series stand for different approaches in the entertainment area. While "Squid Game" is researching the dark side of human behavior, "Project Mc²" offers an entertaining and educational format that encourages children to work in teams and highlights the strengths of girls in a male -dominated world. Parents are advised to critically look at the content of these series and to involve them in conversations with their children to avoid misunderstandings and imitations.
