The feeble-minded ones, yes.  But if it wasn't for music, they would be affected by something else, like a TV show or movie.  The intelligent ones know the difference between real and make believe.

Does music really mean more to you than the girl you like or because of the differences in taste are you willing to see a beauty in the dynamics of individualism and see this as a way of being a possibility to see what kind of sacrifices you are willing to make all in the name of 'like?' You don't have to like what she listens to but can you be accepting of it? More questions i know but think about it...

There are no bad effects of music.  It helps you feel better or get over some thing personal.  Also some music make you feel good.

As a musician (although a lazy one) I prefer listening to classical or Romantic music on a regular basis. However, if I am cramming for a test I do best with no music on at all, especially if it's technical information. I found that out the hard way in chemistry in high school, where listening to mood music in the background proved a terrible distraction for about four of us in the class. We were directed back into the quiet lab to finish our assignment, and that worked out. I think the chemistry teacher was trying to find out if using mood music would help us concentrate better in class. I guess if you are into composing and analyzing music to any extent, it is better to keep music separate from most studying, as listening to music would not be a passive activity.

I don't think that music affects people's minds.  I am so tired of people saying that music affects the way we think.  People accuse music for all the bad things that happen in society and don't bother to look at the real reason as to why things are done and why they happen.  Music is an enhancement to life and is a stress reliever no matter what type of music is listened to.  Music helps people.

I believe so. Studies show that music by Mozart helps people to concentrate and think more smarter. Also, hard core metal music supposidly makes people less focused and not concentrate so well. By personal experience, I've noticed that by listening to certain songs and music that are positive and benificial, I am more peaceful and feel good about myself as well as view the world in a good natured way. Hope this helps. =>

I think that music is a gift from God and that's why it has such power over our emotions.  Sometimes it's the only way for us to get in touch with our feelings.  And to realize our full human potential (which He wants for us), we need to be fully engaged in our lives.  That engagement stems from our emotions.

I totally agree with you.\n\nAll I can say is it's rap dude. It's the social degredation of young people and it's actually celebrated.\nNot only does rap speak badly towards young women, it speaks badly to all young people. It teaches them that it's okay to be lawless, direspect your parents and teachers, and even consider shooting others.\nPopular music of the day, no matter what year your talking about, has the magical power to control young people's mindset and even the way they dress. \nIn my day, it was heavy metal, and alot of kids got into partying and sex because it made it look so glamorous. I know of alot of people today that are dead because they just couldn't "let go" of that lifestyle.

I agree with some ideas you laid out. I think there is a lot of emotional turbulence clearly being expressed through not only the type of music but lyrics and lifestyle of artists. Unfortunately, listening to such music does affect our minds in a negative way (at least those who are content with their life), and all one can do at that moment is turn the radio off. Most people eventually grow out of it after they realize the noise is really taking away their inner peace. I'm glad you have found your shelter but unfortunately society in general would need a miracle to change the pace and content of that which drives the lifestyle of general population.

Good music can raise your vibration and uplift your soul.  Bad music can sound like hell to your ears and depress or frustrate you.  It doesn't matter the genre as much as the thoughts put into that music.  A responsible person will never need to be told what to listen to or not listen to because they will be wise enough to choose what's right and best.

No, a video game does not affect teenage behavior, under the right circumstances.  If teens are left to their own devices, it might.  However, it all comes down to the parents.  As long as they have installed proper morals into the teen, he/she will be able to tell the difference between virtual and real.  That is the key, parents need to stay involved.  A parent should approve of the game the child can play,  and explain to the child that the game is just that, only a game.  As long as that happens, the teen will not take the ideas of the game into real life, and the game should not affect the teen at all.

it would be affect. The answer to my knowledge, is that music would not have a statistically significant outcome on the plant, directly.  Rather, the people who nurture the plant would show the greatest magnitude of influence by the music and would treat the plant respectively.

Parenting! I agree it is Parenting! My children listen to music with me. So I do not listen to any of the "bad" stuff. I also make time to listen to kid music with them. If a parent puts down kid music and won't listen to "good" music then the child will follow the example set for them. Just as a child who hears from his parents that vegetables are yucky, so the child will think also. If you want your child to like something then like it yourself. Children learn by example, especially at the age you are talking about. Young children look up to their parents.

Research seems to say that kids who are taught music also do much better with math, which is a highly sought skill in today's techie world.  In 2001 students participating in music classes scored higher on SATs than students who didn't do music.  The training involved in learning a musical instrument teaches the brain to become incredible good at organizing and performing many activities at once.  It increases self confidence and makes all learning easier.  It improves mood by changing brain wave activity.\n\nThese sites will give you much more information on the benefits of specific music instruction.  \n\nMusic is a powerful part of all societies and cultures.
