Cause and effects of music in behaviorism is an essay which deals with the changes in music throughout the years and the way artists have become much more careless with the message they send to the public. The author pointed out the way American government and people blame artists’ actions on their lyrics and the way many artists fight to keep their freedom.
Although the fight of the musical artists against the government has been going on for the past 20 years, the author assures that it has become even more emanate now ,even with all of the violence, sex, and drug references in music, there are many benefits. Since music has become a large part of everyone’s life, its preservation is very important to the maintenance of culture. On the other hand, according to Ezarik: listening to music keeps the brain in shape because it involves learning, memory, and emotions. Additionally, Studies of the Mozart Effect have shown that listening to music can make babies more creative, smarter, healthier, and happier.
In the same way, music is important in adolescent lives due to the fact that teenagers spend between four and five hours a day listening to music and watching music videos and name music listening as their preferred non-school activity. Even though, music may contribute to the atmosphere of violence some argue is generated by popular media. Critics claim that music negatively affects teenagers by repeatedly exposing them to themes such as Satanism, substance abuse, murder, suicide and sexual violence, which may be heavily reinforced and normalized by the frequency of their exposure. For instance, Heavy metal and rap music are especially criticized for lyrics that many believe glorify violence. Because of these, the public, and parents, should be aware of sexually explicit, drug oriented, or violent lyrics on compact discs, tapes, music videos, and the Internet.
To conclude, music may have a substantial effect on many people, but everyone knows the difference between right and wrong, fact and fiction.
