 * __The Negative and Positive Effects of Hip Hop Culture on Today’s Teenagers__**


 * Outline**

The world that we live in today has become very involved with music. Everyone walks around with an iPod or some other portable listening device. The average American teenager listens to 3-4 hours of music. Since so much music is going through the ears of today’s teenagers there must be some effects. One widely accepted and listened to genre is hip-hop and there are both negative and positive results. 1. The positive effects include empowerment and the strength for women to make their own decisions like in the song Sunshine Anderson Heard it all Before 2. A chance to make a new start Jill Scott Living my Life Like its Golden 3. Making a difference on trivial problems the United States undergoes like for runaways Runaway Love

1. The negative effects include the demeaning of women like in the song 50 Cent P.I.M.P. 2. The rash decision making like in the song DMX Up in ere 3. Songs that mention alcohol and drugs like J-kwon tipsy

Introduction to topic I will show drawings of headphones, iPods and a photograph of a teenager listening to music. And then the words “The world that we live in today has become very involved with music. Everyone walks around with an iPod or other portable listening devices. The average American teenager listens to 3-4 hours of music. Since so much music is going through the ears of today’s teenagers there must be some effects.

I like this project very much. It is a very interesting and meaningful topic. You have done a good job organizing the ideas that you have. This project can be improved in three ways. The grammar is kind of hard to understand in some areas (where you say the song and artist and where you say the pictures for the reasons). Another improvement might be to find a way to play clips of the songs that you are using as examples. Lastly, you can maybe include some of your favorite songs and how they affect you.
