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). |
People have been questions about if “music lyrics impact teen behavior” ever since “rock and roll”. |
Studies have shown that teenagers “who spent significant time listening to suggestive lyrics were more likely to be sexually active at a young age”. |
Through the years, songs such as Ozzy Osbourne’s Suicide Solution were blamed for “Teens committing suicide.” |
There was also a case where “Two male teens kidnap a young girl” which they later “claim that Nirvana’s Penny Royal Tea put the idea in their heads.” |
One of the theories is that music “is just one of the many factors that influence the way teens think and act.” |
