4. Recommended Web Pages

If you decide to closely research the negative influence of music on young people, than I would recommend several web pages, which would deepen your knowledge and understanding on this subject. The first one is the official web site of American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry oriented on defining how different factors affect children’s mentality including media. There are useful researches and statistics. This is a trustworthy site because American Academy of Child and adolescent Psychiatry represents an authoritative organization. http://www.aacap.org/cs/root/facts_for_families/the_influence_of_music_and_music_videos
This is a link to specific article on the website referring to negative influence of Music and Music Videos.

Another website you might find interesting is
http://media-awareness.ca/ where you can find various blogs, news and researches in relation to Media and society issues. The educational resources are both for teachers and for parents, providing them with practical guidance and advices on how to cope and get the best out of Media for children.

Also:
http://www.teenagerstoday.com/ provides various articles about teenage hood in general as well as particularly media influence on youngsters. You can find out more about this age group, their mentality and way of perceiving the world. All of us were teenagers, but we frequently forget how we used to think and feel.


Bill O’Reilly is a very intelligent journalist having his program “O’Reilly Factor”, where he usually discusses main issues of contemporary society. You can watch his archived videos on his official website
http://www.billoreilly.com/ In one of his programs, he interviews Marilyn Manson and criticizes him for outrageous public behavior, being a disgraceful role model to youth. It is worth watching.
