The video we watched in class

There is no doubt in my mind that sexism, violence, and unacceptable behavior is glorified in rap music and videos. It is something that can be mentioned or talked about, but most importantly, we must look at what influences these types of behavior. We must also shift gears and look at why this has become so popular amongst the American population as a whole.

The comparison is similar to a newly constructed building to me. The foundation of it begins with our national television networks and the regular advertisements we see on tv. It is also in the movies that we watch. Rap music is a reflection of what Americans are exposed to, so in order to complain about rap, the finger must be pointed in the direction of the main source, which is on television and advertisements.
