In the Beginning God Created Music!

Music is all around us. It fills up department stores, sidewalks, our cars, and our heads all day long. And as a student involved with music for eight years of my life, I cannot live without the ability to listen to what makes me, me.

This is what I want to discuss: how much does the music we listen to affect how we talk, act, and view the world? Does it really change us that much? Can the input of Rap make us more Thuggish, Rock and Roll produce in us a more rambunctious, care free life style, classical music more elegant, or a love song more poetic in nature?

Let me ask you this, what song is in your head right now? Does that influence how people view you?

Music is more than just entertainment. It has the power to shape our styles. It has the power to form our cliques in school. It picks who we call friends, our favorite TV channels, what interests us, and most of all it identifies our personality to the world.

Music. It can shape an entire generation!
