african american studies class

music, movies, and video games
In class we talked about how people think that music, movies, and video games cause younger children to be delinquent. This may be true for some individuals, but when compared to all delinquents it has little to do with the acts that they commit. There are many other things that should be looked at in regards to why juveniles commit certain acts. We should not pay much attention to music, movies, and video games. We should focus more on the type of families that the kids are in and how they are raised. A girl in my critical thinking class did research on this certain topic, and she found in about five studies that music, movies, and video games have little to do with delinquency. Don't get me wrong some juveniles do commit acts that are caused by these things, but it is not the main cause of why they commit crimes.

i think also maybe we should have tooken maybe a deeper look on why the african culture is the way its and what make certain to types people be interested in the types of music and video they view or listen
because i believe what a person intested in affected their behavior but as pscyhology minor i want to know what made them intrested in it in the first place
