Every time I listen to rap music, I find myself listening closely to the lyrics, yet to find out that some of the lyrical words are quite racial towards certain ethnicities, other rap songs tend to have an opinion of those that are not as lucky as them, because they made it big in the music industry and they have all the fame at the moment. It does contribute for people to use certain words that are not appropriate, a behavior towards others that is inappropriate. Some of these rappers might use inappropriate language, they might use language that could be sexist, racist, and so on and so forth, but many young people look up to these rappers, some take the lyrics to heart, I them posting up these lyrics on facebook and twitter. Some of these young people even live there lives based off of some of the lyrics.
I'm not trying to "bash" on men or anything, but television shows women as a sex symbol often times and honestly it's degrading to other women out in the world, because men often times think that because they see these beautiful women on television and movies, that they will probably find a woman like that out in the world, though what they haven't thoroughly though of is that perhaps these women on tv and movies have to look the way they look to get ratings, because sexy women on tv is what gets ratings. For example December 2010, I don't know if anyone remembers the Victoria Secret runaway show, it was a Christmas special. Well that day all guys were going crazy for that special and even girls, but what was the reason for all the madness? Well first of all there were beautiful model women that wore very little clothing, they were in lingerie so obviously it would attract attention by a lot of men. But I think, I need to get to the point here. Men are often times sexist because of what they watch on television and of the image that is given towards women. When we all know that women can be intelligent, brilliant, and independent.
