Future research
PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS HAVE THEIR OPINIONS SO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SEE HIP HOP AND ITS CULTURE POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY, AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT TIMES HAS CHANGED FOR HIP HOP AND THE ARTIST TODAY MAY NOT BE INFLUENCING THEIR AUDIENCE IN A POSITIVE WAY. I BELIEVE PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE THE TIME AND SEE HOW THEY CAN MAKE HIP HOP ”NEGATIVITY” AND MAKE IT POSITIVE AND MAYBE TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE PERSON IS COMING FROM AND WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY BECAUSE HIP HOP DOES ALLOW SENSE OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND SAYING HOW YOU FEEL
RESEARCH HIGHIGHTS
Teachers use Hip Hop to teach youth in urban communities and use the positivity in the message of Hip Hop culture. Also Hip Hop shapes our youth culture and how important events/ crisis can be taught with the culture of Hip Hop
Hip Hop music/ music videos today, portray that abuse is ok for a women and that they should enjoy that treatment, which influences our young females to have that type of mindset. They see that a male treating their “women” aggressively and the female is just taking that pain all results into ‘real love” and causes a lot of abusive behavior that they learn to just accept, just because a famous person has done that or has been in the situation in a music video.
Hip Hop is looked upon so negatively but also the content is being used to teach about gender norms and stereotypes. “teachers can help students to identify specific gender stereotypes or sexist behaviors and attitudes manifested in hip-hop performances and to further articulate the explicit and implicit messages being conveyed through identified gendered performances…”Hip Hop is used/proven to be sexist and how teachers use this to teach about sexism and gender identity
RESEARCH QUESTION
HOW HAS HIP-HOP INFLUENCE AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURE?
LESSONS LEARNED
Hip Hop is positive and the message behind the elements. “ hip-hop has endeavored to address racism, education, sexism, drug use, and spiritual uplift. Hip-hop criticism, however, has primarily focused on the music's negative and anti- social characteristics, and has rarely yielded information about hip-hop's relationship to its artistic precursors” Hip Hop has positive aspects, but has a negative reputation which the positivity doesn't get noticed.
SUMMARY
Hip Hop & its culture has been around for many years and the image of Hip Hop culture has changed over the years. When people think of Hip Hop first thoughts are gang violence, drugs/alcohol, degrading women, and just a bad influence altogether. I chose this topic because I wanted to know how big of an impact Hip Hop has on our communities so I researched using many articles/documentaries and found different reasons people believe Hip Hop has a positive or negative impact on our communities. Hip hop wasn’t just another genre of music, it also related to many African American people, especially the youth. It also told a story about the streets and what people go through every day.
THESIS
Early 1980’s Hip Hop had a positive impact on our society, but evolved over the years with themes like degrading women, drugs, alcohol and gang violence being very popular in today's Hip Hop music. This has had a negative impact on our society and today's youth and their mindset on life or how to live.
