Does the media (music industry in this case) lead or follow society? Think of yourself all the blogging for this theme
This is our theme of the week. view as many as you can of the video musicals (international and national) come up with an opinion on how far do you think the music industry in its present shape does influence our cultural values? Consider this with special regard to youth, relationships and physical intimacy.
other factor can be considered which is youth and political awarness and political participation. some peopel argue that entertaiment always have a political effect in the sense of its ability to direct our attention and interests. Would you agree that they have a political agenda?
Other peopel on the other hand argue that they in the music industry are trying to satisfy the audiences needs and wishes.
Do you agree that the music industry can be a useful tool in increasing people's awareness of their social problems, with especial regard to the developing countries? How?

yes, i do think that music videos influence society... especially teenagers and young people who are more easily lured into things than elders.
it is just like advertising and music video clips are often a very good source of that (look at the clothes, the fancy gadgets, houses, cars, etc. shown in music videos)... when a person watches such a clip he/she will automatically start craving for these "awesome" things.
whether music videos actually contain political messages... well, i'd say that the majority of them do not. instead they deal with everyday issues (and especially tend to focus on love)...
however there are some bands out there who did include a political message in their videos (for example - U2, Green Day, George Michael who mocked Bush and the US Government)... however, over all most bands don't seem to bother much about it.

In my opinion these kinds of music and video clips doesn't help us in any whey of learning it led people to learn so many bad thing because most of the video clips were show off . In my opinion it has a huge influence in our culture specially the teenagers because it affect their manners a lot because it give them ,or it shape their thoughts in specific circle it doesn't help them to create or to think in a proper way it led them to feel life is misery and every thing around them are black and sad because they don’t have especial issue to inform or lead them to learn from, or at lest to remember a positive thing about it since most of the video clips were similar if we watch it we can't spirited from each other that’s why we should do some thing to improve our music and video clips to not give the
