I have a question, how much does “POP Culture” play in forming the attitudes of some of these young suspects? I have listened too
(when forced) the prevailing MTV stile of music and in some places hard core gangster rap. The prevailing message is very pro money at any cost, us against them attitude whether it’s the police or other people. The other strong message is respect/me fear me because if you don’t I will kill you/hurt you.
And women are reduced to objects to be used. I realize that this is a generalization of this type of pop culture. In the past I have had so many instances where I have had to deal with juveniles and people in their 20s who quote the lyrics of a song as they go to jail.
I recently had an opportunity to look at the web site Face book. Overall its ok and better than My Space but even Face book has its groups and it’s hard to tell how serious they are about what they say. What is your read outs on this? I would like others opinions.
