The Dangers of Rap Music

Paper Summary:

This paper takes the position that rap music is harmful due to the violent lyrics encouraging disrespect toward women and lack of respect for moral ethics or authority. It argues that there are both laws and Biblical principles that stand against the type of violence and graphic sexuality that is thrust in the face of the children of today's world.

From the Paper:

"There are detrimental effects to children and adolescents that listen to violent and sexually graphic lyrics. The posture of disrespect for others is blatant in much of the rap music of today. Although all rap music is not the same, and although there exists rap music with a "consciousness" the detrimental effects of rap music on the development of children is a factor in today's society and does seem to affect the behavior of children exposed to the lyrics glorifying the use of drugs and alcohol, violence, disrespect for authority and other negative influences and factors."
