2. The answer is simple: moral panic. The term, originally coined by sociologist Stanley Cohen, simply
means a reaction to something based on a perception, which, in many cases, is highly exaggerated
or even bias.
As put by Manson, he believes that he represents what people are afraid of. Moral panics tend to
thrive off of this. Often based from malaysian tamil mp3 download songs stereotypes, panics are
spread thus pinpointing a specific group, often unrighteous in doing so. Since panics and fears often
tend to be derived from what we are afraid of (and that is often what we're uncomfortable with),
blaming a subgroup often seems like the easiest, but not necessarily the correct, thing to do.
So, Is There A Connection?
In an article appearing in Adolescence Magazine, the author writes that King, a child psychologist,
"stops short of suggesting a download videos to mp3 converter cause and effect relationship
between listening to this music and destructive behavior, he suggests that it is at least a
contributing factor."
The answer to whether or not music can affect a person's behavior is not a simple matter of a yes or
no answer. While, yes, it is true that the criminals in the cases of Columbine and Dawson College
were listeners of genres of music that the media tends to pinpoint, but these are just two people who
listen to that style of music. If the music that people listened to had such a strong influence on their
behavior, wouldn't the millions of other listeners (considering that Manson is a multi-platinum
selling artist) have destructive behaviors as well?
