World_Music_Vs._Pop_Music_“A_Cultural_War“

World Music Vs. Pop Music “A Cultural War“ Exploring new cultures through music can fascinate the mind. I have experienced cultural diversity on a first hand basis in some of my college courses. I have learned diversity is important and essential for cognitive skills, especially with teens and young children. Introduction to different styles of music can produce new ideas and even integrate new experiences with traditional thought processing. As the teens grow and develop and their ability to make decisions increases, certain precautions should be taken when dealing with the consequences of their decisions such precaution as music awareness. The purpose of this essay is to establish a difference in the amount of available music in what’s hot (pop) and what is not (world music). Also to emphasize the possible dangers that can capture minds, not only of teens but of everyone. As I conducted my research I couldn’t help notice the vast difference between the world music sections and the pop music sections in virtually every store I visited. Many questions flooded my mind as I noted these differences. When considering music, kids decide on which type of music such as rap, rock, alternative, and etc. they will buy. Generally, their choices are influenced by popularity, style, and their music, world, pop, section, store, groups, asked, questions, play, media, stores, first, between, ask, albums, about, very, ratio, compared, visited, teens, style, sold, price, popular, noticed, new, manager, information, ethnicity, amount, rick, research, replied, over, located
