Another reason why narco corridos are an influence to society is their disrespect towards women, since the genre of music is about glorifying drugs and illegal money, artists tend to sing about luxuries cars parties and they also make women seem like an object that can be bought by their illegal activities. In narco corrido videos there is always more than one women half naked dancing around a man that thinks he deserves it all. It has always been around that women back then would do whatever their husband would tell them to do even if men would go around with other women, well narco corridos try to bring the message back of men having more than one women and just showing off the money they have living a criminal life. This attitude going on
in narco corridos is an offence to people that are married because that is just disrespecting women making it seem like they don’t have word. This is also against people’s morals because having morals is respecting the person you want to marry and narco corridos just go the other way around.

I grew up in a Mexican family listening to corridos, which are a type of song, since at every party, every celebration, and every occasion, that’s what the family would play. As I became more aware and conscious, I began to realize what these songs were actually saying. These corridos were telling a life story, ranging from life issues such as poverty, hard times, immigration, social and political problems, and/or life in general. A prominent and recurring theme that I saw developing throughout was immigration. Many of these songs, were expressing strong feelings that many Mexican immigrants, including my parents and other family members, were feeling regarding they’re citizenship status, how they were being discriminated against, and ultimately how they were feeling.
Stephen King once stated “We never know which lives we influence, or when, or why.” People can be influenced greatly by their society and surrounding environment. Once a common belief is generated, it is usually difficult or others if. In the play, The Crucible, such is shown through the Salem witch trials. In the article, “It’s 2013, and They’re Burning ‘Witches’” the people of Papua New Guinea, also known as PNG, still believe that black magic is used to kill people who have no relation to each other. The general belief that the society influences determine the rash decisions that people take and the fear the unknown results in the blame of the unknown.
“ If it doesn't fit, you must acquit” ("Is O.J. Simpson Innocent"). This is a well known quote from the famous O.J Simpson trials. He was born on July 9th, 1947. He was named Orenthal James after a french actor that his aunt liked. When he was thirteen he was involved in a gang and got into a fight where he landed himself in a youth guidance center. He grew up to be a football player in college and then in the NFL. Then after he became an actor. He was married to his first wife when he met Nicole Brown. Him and his wife got a divorce and then in 1985 O.J. and Nicole got married. She then filed for a divorce in 1992 because she said he was abusive. Two years later on June 13th, 1994, Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman were found murdered outside of her house. Of course the main suspect was O.J. This was one of the biggest trials yet and the media made it even bigger. The outcome of the O.J. Simpson trials shows how much of an effect the media has on crimes today.
“She ain’t nuttin but a hoochie mama…Smackin’ on your lips, put your hands on your hips…She ain’t nuttin but a hoochie mama…Oh I love those big brown eyes and the way you shake your thighs, acting like you’re so damn cute...” Rap music with lyrics like this play on the radio and in home stereos every day. Rap music pounds messages of sex and violence into the minds of young adults leaving behind their sexist and repetitive influential messages.

The increase in the use of the drug and violent crimes associated with abusing it impacted the rise of violent crimes. News coverage of the increase in crime associated with drugs led to hysteria throughout the country. Panic ensued over a public misunderstanding of violent crime and drug use. The media’s constant coverage added to the problem. “The attention to televised crime news leads to increased fear and concern, rather than that the already more fearful and concerned become more attentive” (Chiricos, Padgett, & Gertz, 2000,
One of the biggest causes of drug trafficking is very futile economies where people are searching for ways to make money. Places with weaker economies, such as Mexico and Colombia, usually have a lot higher drug trafficking rates than places with strong economies. As I said before, it is believed that Mexico’s economy would shrink by over sixty-three percent if it wasn’t for drug trafficking. That in itself is enough to show how dependent some places are on drug trafficking. These areas don’t have the job opportunities that many places throughout the world have either because they don’t have good economies. This is beca...

As the sun goes down on this decade of splendor and scandal, the American people look to the people who shaped the culture of this era. With the eighteenth amendment’s power still rampant in the nation today, certain men were catalysts to the industry which formed on the coattails of this policy. Al Capone, as many Americans know him, was—and still is—a key influencer in the bootlegging sphere. Because of this man’s dirty work, the country kept on indulging in the face of prohibition.
The Mexican banditry has appeared in many forms of culture since the early nineteenth century. The book “Bandit Nation” talked about a cultural impact that banditry had on Mexico from the period of its independence to the Mexican Revolution. The bandits did not come up with their own name but the Mexican and the elites are the ones that gave the bandits their name. The bandits are the lower-class outlaws and rebels who resist exploitation and oppression (Preface page). The elites did not just give them that name because they were poor but because they would do criminal activities. Some Mexicans would see the bandits as good but others saw them as just using it as an excuse to be rebels. Some of the Mexicans saw the bandits as heroes and some of the ones seen as heroes were Francisco Villa and the ones that followed him which were Chucho el Roto, Heraclio Bernal, and Santanon. The bandits were giving Mexico a bad reputation and that’s why they were trying to put a stop to them. It made it seem like the Mexican people could not even control their own people.
