hange that dramatically every week, album after album is put out to fatten the wallets of wealthy producers. The more albums that are put out, the more money is made, as consumers shell out millions every week for something new to listen to, but are merely continuing to feed the frenzy of the popular music industry.Another harm this entertainment brings to society is it gives the media an easy scapegoat. When some atrocity gains national attention, the first thing that is thought of is music and entertainment. When a young boy burnt down his house because he was watching Beavis and Butt-Head, and they were playing with fire, the show was blamed. How about we blame who are really at fault here -- the parents. I would not let my young kid watch a show that has a label warning that it may not be suitable for young children. The media always has to blame something because they are not permitted to get on the air and say he burnt down the house because he had bad parents. During the most recent incident, at a school in Colorado, the media again looked for a scapegoat. The first thing they blamed was the music the gunmen listened to, ignoring the fact that the parents of the killers were never home to discover that explosives were being made in the garage. The fact of the matter is that the media likes to point a finger at anything other than the parties at fault.In conclusion, the harmful effects of entertainment seem to get all of the focus, but TV and music are not always the culprits. If we stop blaming everybody else besides the people who need to be blamed, then our society might be better, but until then we are stuck with same finger pointing as before. Parents must understand that the entertainment world is not the major influence in a kid’s life, and that the major influence is the parents themselves....
