Week 9
TOPIC 1: MUSIC'S INFLUENCE I personally think music has always had a lot of leeway in our society. For instance, if a child were to be listening to a song with curse words in it and was singing along, it wouldn't be viewed as bad since "it was in the song". People say what they want in music, and the First Amendment is to thank for that. Personally, I don't agree with younger children listening to certain types of music/songs. Albums with the "Parental Advisory Explicit Content" labels should be avoided by children. As for an instance in which I have tried to protect someone from music corrupting influences, I would definitely say it was when I use to babysit. I babysat quite a bit in high school as a senior and there were many incidences when I had to take the child's age into consideration and make my best judgment on if I think they should be listening to certain music. Of course, if their parents allowed them to, I wouldn't mind it
