Although music artists are not federally regulated like their visual counterparts, a group of concerned individuals wanted to do everything that they could in order to keep the explicit content out of the reach of children and have a certain censorship in their works of art. The Parent Music Research Center took matters into their own hands to the extent that a United States Congressional hearing was held to bring to the attention of government leaders the potential damage explicit content in music could
that music off! I don't want you listening to that kind of music." Many teens these days are experiencing this kind of thing almost every day. Many parents, in general, have complained and tried to regulate the music that teens are listening to these days. They complain that the music industry shouldn't be able to sell and produce the explicit CD's. The music industry gets a lot of criticism about the music that they put out on the market. Most of the criticism comes from the parents. There
being unfairly censored. One such form that is often overlooked as art is music. “Music is probably the most censored of all art forms”(The Economist; p 73) There are hundreds of artists who have been unfairly censored, ranging from popular music from artists such as Eminem, 2 Live Crew, and NWA, to classical music, such as Mozart’s Figaro. However unfair and unconstitutional this censorship is, the fact is that questionable music and lyrics are encouraging impressionable young children to follow their
Music is a creative outlet for emotions, expressions and personal issues. It is also a place to force ideas and opinions on a mass of thousands. People can relate to it on many levels. But the problem of who should be responsible or regulate it exists. Who should decide what is played or sold? Music has had both a negative and positive reactions, especially with the young. Should the parents be responsible or should the artists themselves? Should the Studios (Labels) take the heat or should the government
us. Music is a universal ‘language’ that has spread and mostly effects each and everybody’s life simultaneously. Artists create music for their listeners but it goes through all the censorship regulations implied to ‘protect our society’. Is it really working? I don’t think so. Today, people themselves choose to be offended as artists and performers have worked their way around saying what cannot be said. Censorship has been around in one way or the other in America. Certain forms of music, poetry
Censorship in Literature and Music What is censorship? An encyclopedia defines censorship as "the control of what people may say or hear, write or read, or see or do1." There are many reasons why people censor entertainment such as literature and music. Many governments or groups try to preserve their standards of morality by preventing people from learning about or following other standards2, commonly found in the two previously mentioned mediums. There are different ways to censor things.
This is an organization that helps parents determine if their child is able listen to a certain song. This is an issue because not all songs are appropriate for young listeners.

In 1985 the RIAA worked along with the National Parent Teacher association and the Parent Music Resource Center to collaborate and discuss concerns
Censorship of Music In today's society, all types of music artists are expressing their views, opinions and feelings in their songs about what they see and what they know. This is on of the great things about this country, the freedom to express yourself. It is not fair, nor is it constitutional that music should be censored in anyway. It is not only rap music trying to be censored it is in all types of music. They are taking away their rights and it isn't fair. As reported in the New York Times
and according to Norton, it is her “delicacy and refinement” that he “allied” himself with rather than his less educated, coarse coal miner father (2248). It is she whom he sided with in the conflict-ridden relationship he witnessed between his parents. According to Wart, “Piano” expresses Lawrence’s personal response when a “song stirs memories of childhood and his mother,” involuntary as these memories may be. However, though it may be true that we should never assume that the speaker of a poem
work? Do teens use those warnings? Do parents care? Well, yes sometimes those warnings work, yes at least 23% of teens won’t buy those CD’s with warnings, and yes most parents care about these warnings. Many teens still buy the CD’s anyway. Parental advisory stickers on CDs are supposed to warn teens about explicit content, but many teens buy the CD’s anyway; many say that it makes no difference, and some are even pressured into buying them. Many teens buy music CD’s with parental advisory stickers

It has also given parents direct access to their children’s grades, assignments and teachers’ notes through electronic media.

With my parents, I was able to go out into the community neighborhoods and sell cookie dough to local members. The cookie dough sale was a fundraiser for my preschool in order to gain resources and school supplies for the year. In preschool, we also had parties in which parents and family members were able to come and help celebrate the holidays. For example, each year we had a massive Halloween party with a cake walk, a variety of games, and a costume contest. Our parents were able to participate
Just about every high school in the United States provides students with the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities such as sports, volunteering, music, academic or interest clubs, and student government .

Understanding the causes and reasons behind the significantly lower amount of extracurricular activity participation among low socioeconomic students incites
literature, speech, music, or visual entertainments. Censorship stems from fear of ideas spreading that are contrary to what has been established as "correct", "moral", "normal", or "suitable"; essentially, censorship stems from a fear of change. For change to progress, or to even exist at all, "the norm" needs to be challenged, and those most capable of grasping and embracing change are the young people of a society. Young adults (of this century and the 20th century especially) use music to express themselves

The benefits of learning centers are many. Learning centers teach important concepts, build interest, integrate subject matter, and allow for inquiry (Jarrett, 2010). These well organized
