Does music create problems withen society? (Based upon Dezzys point.)

[Tom4784]

In most cases no, I do think some can and do though, for example certain rap music. Thee thing is real life inspires more then fiction, if we saw someone killed in a film or game we would be unaffected as we knew it wasn't real. However gangster rappers like 50 cent rap about their own 'life experiences' and I think this inspires idiotic people to go out and commit crime since the gangster rappers are 'obviously' a sign that a life of crime pays.

Music should make people happy,make them cry,make them go to another world,an escape from reality. Music does more good than harm,a lot more good. I doubt many people hear 50 Cent or whoever and go 'Oh I'm going to go stab someone now'.

Does TV do enough to stop knife crime?

music doesn't create problems in society!
However, the people who sing/rap/whatever do(well some of them)

Take Nadine Coyle for example....she's in the music business therefore she is in the public eye and has alot of fans, some of whom are young girls.
I think that Nadine sets such a bad example to her young fans.
For god sake she looks like a twig!!
Eat a sandwich or something!!!!

also rappers set really bad examples!!

It's not up to TV,it's up to the government. But I wouldn't know,I don't follow polictics and have a different government than most of you.

So are the goverment doing a bad job?

I don't think TV should have to do much to help. It's more down to parents and schools - who do not do near enough.

Kids need to be taught of the dangers of knife crime but schools atm seem to prefer to skim over it with a brief mention.

I'm not sure, I mean what can they do? Its the attitude that people have. Nothing the government say is going to stop knifecrime.

Mambo these questions are coming too fast no one gets a chance to DEBATE. Right now people are just stating their opinions.

Debate thread closed.

Got to go now,be back after Ant and Dec(woo)

[MrGaryy]

Hehe I know I kind of contradicting myself due to me not debating even though we've been given more time, but the subject of the government and knife crime just does not interest me at all.

[MrGaryy]

Also not to be a downer, but opening the poll before the debate started completely defeeated the point of the task as blatantly people voted before they got a chance to see the whole debate.

[amby]

so who won??
