| I actually blame a part (though I don't know just HOW much) on the "gangster" glorification that goes on. This isn't just limited to gangsta rap.
Basically what it does is it glorifies
- Crime, civil disobedience etc.
- being uneducated
- being piss poor
- mistreating women
Violence on TV or media isn't ALWAYS bad. Because a lot of it's education. i.e. martial arts programs. These programs are definately geared on the violent, but they teach you the ethics of attaining these new skills.
Also historic films or other films that show a person who is unafraid of a villain's use of violence to subedue people and in return returns the favor the the bad guy.
But basically NOTHING can come good from rewarding kids for bad behavior.
Just how big of an impact this makes I don't know. |
