The Women of Hip Hop (Findings Paragraph #3)
The men in this rap industry aren't the only ones affecting the minds of the youth, women happen to be doing the same thing. Today's women rappers don't rap about changing the world or changing yourself, they promote how to be "sexy". This is not good because it's letting the young women think that it's okay to go out and dress inappropriate. For instance, the female rapper, Trina, uses the b-word a lot. Females think that if a male was to call them one of those, they'd feel disrespected, but by seeing and hearing this female rap and call herself that, isn't it basically giving men the opportunity to call a female that? No parent wants their child minimizing themselves, just to be like an idol.
The Minds of the Young People... Destroyed! (Findings Paragraph #2)
The minds of the youth are deteriorating, the young women of our time has minimized their articles of clothing, just by watching two music rap videos (www.webmd.com) This has gotten so bad the where the youth that listen to rap music are three times more likely to hit a teacher, and twenty-five times more likely to get arrested. The controversy of this topic has become too extreme and many believe that changing this has become too late. With the young women listening to music that degrades them, they are twice as likely to have multiple partners, and 1.5 times more likely to use drugs or drink alcohol (Under The Influence of Music). Another thing that people observed is that teenage girls become insecure, and become pregnant. Some may say, "At least they're bringing in new life," this may not always be good because they are babies having babies.
The Effects Hip Hop Has On The Youth (Findings Paragraph #1)
Because hip hop music has transformed into such a horrible topic of conversation, the youth of today's time has been greatly affected. According to Jennifer Copley, only rap music with misogynistic themes appears to create misogynistic attitudes and greater acceptance of violence against women (Rap Music's Psychological Effects). Along with young boys and their behavior, at risk are more inclined to prefer rap music. This, by chance, may not be good for our future generation because this could possibly cause more minds to be damaged, and more deaths to occur. It's said that after watching politically focused rap videos, young adults were more inclined to support a liberal black candidate (Mood, Behavior, Crime, Violence and Gender Due To Rap Music). Alot of older people ask where is our young ones going? Well they're only doing what their elders allow them to. Rap music isn't always good, according to Jennifer Copley.
