There are many different forms of media available to people today. Media that includes movies, music, TV, magazines and even books. People everyday will interact with some form of media. They may not realize it at the time, but they will be affected by what they encounter. Because of this, the media could have an effect on the way a person may dress, look and even live their lives. The media plays a very big part in people's lives.
             One form of media that has an affect on people is music. Almost anyone can get into a song or there is a song out that they could relate to. A lot of music that is out today is targeted towards the youth, but the message that is being put out is not always positive. Music today, mostly rap, sends out a message of sex, narcotics, money, and situations that are degrading to women. Some people say that they only listen to the music for the beat, but then why do they sometimes find themselves singing the words without even noticing. I myself do it all the time but when I think back to what I was saying I find that I was degrading myself. Lyrics that say things like "Girl grab the wall and shake it like a dog". (Dem Jeans. Master P). How can someone compare a young woman to a dog? That's not right.
             Alongside music is TV. Women in music videos are portrayed as young, scantily clad women who know how to shake their behinds (BETs 106&Park). We see them having fun and partying. This is not how life is but that is what people aim to achieve. They want to be just like what they see on TV. Living like this is not realistic. A few years ago a song came out that spoke on buying any materialistic thing that you wanted, but turned around and said that they didn't have any money to pay for rent because all of their money was spent. In reality a person would never do that because they would end up poor and out on the street, but still this is what people aim to achieve.
