Music Violence
Throughout history, people have been attracted to music. For the past decade, references have been made to link violent and deviant behavior to music and certain music categories. The one category that has been under controversy is rap or “gansta” rap. If indeed there is a direct correlation between violence in music and violence in adolescent behavior, it is important to look at where the connection lies. By simply understanding the adolescent stages of human development and the influence of music in a historical perspective, one can learn the underlying adolescent vulnerability and susceptibility to violence in music. The violent vulgarity and sexually explicit lyrics act as a conduit to strengthen learned aggression and release this aggression on society. A child faces many influential experiences during the stages of human development. Parents have a tremendous power to moderate that influence. Music has been around since the beginning of time and it has evolved just as much as the people that created it. Throughout history, people have been attracted to music. Whether it is a part of a ritual, an emotional release, religious reasons, or just for listening pleasure, music has been at the center of society. Peopl
