User talk:Darleen White/Partner violence in hip hop

I see a lot of violence in sex expressed in today's music and I feel like it has a very negative impact on society, especially children. Many people listen to hip-hop, especially if they want to fit in or seem cool. It contributes to so many ways people want to perceive themselves, from the way they walk, dress, or speak, so when they hear rappers doing these things they think it is cool to do. It puts many people in harm's way, especially women and young girls. It corrupts these children’s brains to where young boys think it is okay to be sexually violent or violent in general and young girls think it's ok to accept because that’s just the way life is. Also, these young girls girls would find themselves attracted to these type of men or lifestyles because they see that emulated in music videos where the video vixens are treated as props or trophies.
