Give me a clear explanation for this one:?

Question

- Adults take themselves too seriously, they should learn from the young how to laugh

- Pop music has a very bad influence on young people, it should be banned


What do you think of this topics?do u agee w/ it?explain clearly

Answer 1

Anyone of any age should learn to maintain a good sense of humor, it is by far our best weapon in dealing with life's slings and arrows......
As you can see by my name, I am a fan of the band that was most picked on for that sort of reason ever, and also pretty much the most influential rock band ever, and I listened to a steady diet of thier music during my formative years!!! So I guess if you want to know if rock music is a bad influence, go look at my answers, and then decide if I turned out badly from listening to them :) I like to think I turned out pretty good though!

Answer 2

There are times when indeed some adults do take themselves very seriously because we are bogged down with very serious ordeals in life . I have taken the initiative to remember to live , laugh and love. However, I do have the side of me that is always motivated and gets the job dob done -- nothing funny about that.

The Ever so contreversial theory of music lyrics. I am an old metal head , proffessional person that made it through the past 40 years without biting the heads off of bats and without carrying a gun to school and killing my classmates. Be aware that the music has changed a bit , I know I am very aware of all genres of music. I have come to appreciate them all including the serious classical all the way to hip-hop. Everyones an artist these days.
Should the lyrics be banned ----- that s dependant upon the parent- child (age of course) relationship and decision as per their own situation . Each household runs a little differently. I don't feel it should be banned from all. If you don't like it don't buy it. There is parental advisory.

Answer 3

Is this a homework assignment?

IMHO, I am an adult, and I think it is young people who take themselves too seriously. Have you ever seen them writing their "poor me" poems and having all sorts of "angst" about how deadly serious their most recent bf/gf breakup was? It's like everything that they don't like is the total end of the world cuz it's "all about me"......
When you are an adult, you realize that you are really so small and all of those little things really don't matter. You are free to relax and you don't care what people think anymore. So anyway, I disagree with the first statement.

How do you define "pop" music? If you mean just a style, like hip hop or screamo or something, why would that have a negative effect on anyone? Musical taste is simply a personal preference. However, when you are talking about lyrics that degrade people, like calling women b***** and using drugs and violence, then those types of lyrics should not be broadcast via FCC. This is not a violation of free speech, as they can still say that women are b***** whenever they want, they just can't broadcast it over the public airways.

Answer 4

on the pop music topic (i have replied in a previous message to the first with the adults):
Culture seems to have lost its appeal among teenagers. Classical music is actually the real music, it's art. Pop music is sometimes nothing more than a horrible racket. Check out the reaction of animals to it - they don't like it. It's noise to their ears. The rebellious attitude of their favorite stars (pop singers) is imitated by teenagers and they end up with a very rebellious, sometimes inesthetic look and dress style. The drug taking habits and crazy lifestyle of the singers is also imitated and that is simply wrong. However, if the teenagers just listen to pop music and doesn't affect their attitude and lifestyle then it's ok... This too is a phase that shall pass, we all go through this...

Answer 5

YES, i agree... Adults DO take things way to seriously... but it's due to the burdens of BILLS that come along with growing up.

Give a child bills, and watch them stop smiling.

SHAME

Perhaps Some adults should set aside time for just play time. Most adults don't do that anymore.

As far as pop music being bad influence? Get real.... Dancing is good. Anything that promotes singing and dancing is going to raise endorphins, it's a natural anti-depressant.

Answer 6

I dont think all adults are too serious, and I think sometimes younger people have prblems of thier own and dont laugh enough.
As for pop music having a bad influence on young people I dont think thats true. Some pop music is fun and puts you in a good mood. All types of music though have bad artists that are a bad influence, but I think rap is way worse than pop. Some rap artists are teaching our youth that cussing is cool and women have no value. I dont think any type of music should be banned, instead just artists or songs that have a bad influence on people.

Answer 7

I believe that with the first statement referring to adults taking life so serious is really society pressuring everyone to believe that by a certain age you should have A,B, or C accomplished in your life and are often told to "grow up". Younger children don't have to be concerned with all the small details of everyday "adult" life so it is easier for them to laugh and enjoy more. I live everyday full of life and I stay in touch with my inner child because that is one thing society will never dictate to me.
As far as pop music influencing today's youth, I am having mixed feelings about that. Most people know the difference from right and wrong and if they choose wrong how can they blame it on a song that was written and played over the airways? Basically, we all have choices in life and by the time we reach a certain age...we should all know what is expected of us to co-exist in harmony.

Answer 8

These topics are those of an opinion, I could agree or disagree on each of these topics. One could say that many adults dont take themselves seriously enough, or that music is a form of entertainment not of lifestyle and culture.

Answer 9

I agree that adults have made their adult world far too complex, we don't trust because we are better liers when we get older, because we can't trust we develop a sophisticated reference of knowledge on who to trust an who not to trust and in what circumstances, it just gets very very complex, so this causes us to less happy which then causes us not to laugh. Popmusic, in my opinion, it can have a detrimental effect for the wrong person, but for most of us we seem to just listen to it and recall a situation in which that music applies to our every day life. I think though some popmusic is clearly designed as social engineering excercises though, it's kind of the glue of the ingnorant and decadent, so as to keep there miserable depraved existence alive. and feel that they have to conform to a social class that does'nt really exist, but ultimately it has no substance to most of it.
