FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
The music teenagers listen to expose them to "about 35 references to substance abuse" which has been researched before (Pope). |
Due to the fact that technology makes it easier to access music "children now have regular access to music out of the earshot of parents" (Pope). |
With media being part of our daily lives it has show that it has an "impact on childhood risk behaviors" (Pope). |
Even though we can't visually see music there is more "exposure to music" at "an average of 16 hours each week (Pope). |
For some it depends solely on what kind of music you listen to, for example, "pop would be exposed to 5 references per day" while those "listen just to rap would be exposed to 251 references per day" (Pope). |
