The
Thriller's gone
- Washington Times
What's the big deal? Proponents of free artistic expression will cite the artist's right to make videos and the viewer's option to turn the channel. However, the issue is not adults and choices, but the negative influence of such videos on our youth.
- TRENDS - Do you think that music
videos establish the trends or reflect the trends and
mentality that culture already has? Explain. Do you think laws should
be established to limit what gets aired or what is allowed to be printed
(on video)? Explain.
- IMITATION - Who do you like
to imitate? Do your favorite imitation of someone famous. What is
it that draws you to mimic an artist or actor? Do you mimic your friends
at all?
1 Corinthians 11:1; 1 John 2:6
- INFLUENCE - How much influence
does music have on others around you? What influences the way you
dress? What do you do to keep these music channels from defining you?
(Keep in mind; you may not watch these videos but your culture does.)
BAD INFLUENCE - Genesis 3:6; Jeremiah
17:2; 3 John 11
GOOD INFLUENCE - Matthew 5:13; Mark 4:21; 1 Corinthians
7:16; 1 Thessalonians 1:7; 1 Peter 2:12
