The Media Portraying Youths


The media today especially in this generation has a lot to do with persuading and portraying youths today with getting into violence. The things being shown on television today with the rap music videos are making youths the way they are today. The things in the rap music videos being shown and talked about are things like sex, drugs, killing, stealing, etc. They are trying to show that they are rich and making money but the thing that the children today don’t realize is that they are making the money in the wrong way. They make songs about not finishing school and what they did to get the money like dealing drugs. These problems are within the age groups of thirteen to twenty. The ages before that are too young to understand and the ages above twenty are in a maturing stage and are doing their own thing. There are also things being talked about on the radio of rap violence and people are listening to this on the radio station that they enjoy and are following it because they feel it is the cool way to act. I think this is a bad idea in my opinion and do not know when the generation will change.
