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). |
After having eleven participants watch/listen to the music videos, the came to the conclusion that “watching violent music videos does negatively affect behavior.” |
Due to the fact that many people spend their time listening to music, “many researchers have examined the effects of how music provokes violent behavior.” |
After the experiment they conducted, they came to the conclusion that “listening to violent music has an effect on aggression.” |
They have found that people who listening to the violent music are “behaving in an inappropriate way.” |
Most of the music videos they used had “inappropriate language, inappropriate gestures, and a tendency to think less of women.” |
