While many people in Chicago and other large cities don't have many positive influences, the negative ones flourish all through radio stations and youtube. With murder rates on the rise, Do you think rap artists like Chief Keef who proclaims doing drugs and carrying illegal firearms and killing his enemies motivate others to do the same? Does what they see on Youtube affect their behavior? Do you think parents should be responsible for the role models that their children look up to? Should parents monitor what their child is watching, and if it's inappropriate do not allow it? How much does music matter to a child's perspective on life? At what age should the monitoring stop? Many parents are not aware of their child's activity outside the home--does this play a role? What kind of effects will this kind of music have on future generations? Do you think these images have a positive effect or negative? Any other thoughts on the influence of music videos
in general?
