This article appears in Time magazine, the focus is censoring music. The article gives an example of a 13 year old girl named Lisette, she enjoys music with an edge. She believes that music that has sexual references and swear words aren't bad for teenagers to listen to. "My advice to parents is to let your kids grow up and do what they want to do" says Lisette. She believes that kids are already hardened from the media and it no longer has effect on them. The rest of the article talks about how it seems teens are now unshockable, and how scary that fact is.
I believe that dispite what Lisette says, the content of the music we choose to listen two has an effect on us. An example of this is when you are driving, for me when ever I am listening to calming music I stay calm on the road, while listening to angry music makes it easier for me to become upset. Whether concious or subconcious the music we listen to affects our lives.

I concur with Bruno's opinion because music can affect one's thoughts and actions. If someone were to consistently listen to, and watch vulgar material, then their dominant thought would be focused on the obscenity of the media. This can lead to improper behavior. The media we yeild to, directly relates to our attitude.
