Instagram Is A Negative Impact On The Youth Culture
Demi Lovato stated "People say sticks and stones may break your bones, but names can never hurt you, but that's not true. Words can hurt. They hurt
me. Things were said to me that I still haven't forgotten." Given this point, I believe Instagram is a negative impact on the youth culture because it
created virtual bullying and a disillusioned self–image meaning lowering one's self–esteem how someone's appearance supposed to be. Thus, I believe
as a previous instagramer one shouldn't indulge in the social media world if they're not self–confident or aware of their own self.
Bullying begins inside the school because my beginning stages of being bullied began in the 4th grade. At that time, I attended a private school which
was majority whites and I was the only little black girl in my class, we all knew each other since pre–school but as we aged the one's I had as friends
disappeared into their own group of peers, so I was left alone. Since, I felt like I wasn't fitting in and lost the friends I once had I decided to transfer
over to a majority African American public school in the 6th grade which was actually worse than being alienated at the private school. My
assumption on being around peers who were the same race was a mistake because although I felt alienated at my other school, once I transferred over
in the 5th grade I literally transferred to a school from hell. Students started to bully me because of how proper I spoken. For example, They would

The Significance of Australian Youth Culture and Radio
Today the world in which we live in can be seen as a vastly media integrated way of life. Whether it is film, television or advertising, these forms of
media constantly surround us, influencing and changing the way we live. But what about radio? Some say that radio is dying, that its use has
become useless, that it was only an aid of assistance during the early and mid 1900's. But the way I see it, I think that radio is more relevant and
significant today than it ever was, especially for the diverse Australian youth cultures. Their lifestyle, education, political views and social aspects
come under a large role due to what they listen to over the radio. So how do radio stations maintain and attract their listeners? What sort of impacts ...

Australian youths of different ethnicities are searching for more innovative and creative ways of sourcing and utilizing information in order to
exchange their culture and way of life with the wider community so that they are able to gain a sense of belonging. By broadcasting the news and issues
of a local community and the country of their origin – in their own language, it builds and strengthens new communities as well as establishing
confidence and providing the essential atmosphere for the growing Australian youth.
For many people, community radio broadcasting plays a significant role in their lives especially for those who come from country or rural areas. As
highlighted before, community broadcasting develops a sense of Australian identity, character and cultural diversity. Statistics show that the 9.5 million
people that tune in to community radio each month state that they value their local content and diverse local music that their community radio
produces for them. With regards to the Australian youth, community radio is of great importance as youths in rural areas are able to keep up to date
with current news as well as their local news as opposed to more urbanised youths where their news is constantly provided with other forms of media
during their everyday lives. Community radio gives everyone, not just youths, the right set of circumstances needed to keep up to date and involved

Essay on Identities and Individualism: Youth cultures
Identities and Individualism: Youth cultures
'Identities and Individualism: Youth cultures' is aimed at lower secondary, level 6. As a part of a 'suite of modules for Levels 1 to 6,' this module
addresses the very important issue of identity in today's world (QSCC 2002:4). It not only allows for flexibility in discovering one's position within a
group in society but how they relate to and within the broader world scheme. The module explores identity as constructed by the media focussing on
the strand of Culture and Identity (CI) with some Time, Continuity and Change (TCC) core learning outcomes used to provide background and context.

In this module, the syllabus outcomes are met, but at the same time remain flexible enough so that the teaching program can be customised to meet the
specific needs, interests and abilities of their students. In this respect, processes to meet the CLOs and the CLOs themselves can be tailored and
approached accordingly.
While the module promotes a range of Core Learning Outcomes from the Time, Continuity and Change (TCC) and Culture and Identity strands, Phase
One emphasises the dual processes of reflection and investigation (QSCC 2002:2). This phase frames questions that ask students to consider how they
can be themselves, what influences their self–perception and how they can control these factors (QSCC 2002:6). These central questions are asked
from the Phase's outset and the activities which follow it are designed to develop students' investigative skills and ability to critically reflect as they
arrive at a range of answers. These same answers form the basis for fulfilling the module's purpose and overview;
Activities explore youth identities as constructed by the media. They assist students to consider how they might take greater control of their lives,
especially their ideas, values and attitudes in present day globalised Australia. (QSCC 2002:1).
Phase Two builds upon the knowledge foundation laid in Phase One and its CLOs are investigating, communicating and reflecting. As mentioned
earlier, the processes of creating and participating are also present.

Youth Culture Is Saturated With Porn Essay
The main purpose for this essay is to discuss whether or not youth culture is saturated with porn? The essay aims to highlight what youth culture is
and how it can be affected? This will take into account a number of sources, research including The Academy of Paediatrics and Colett (2014) in
order to establish a definition of what the term youth culture truly is. It will then discuss what porn is and how it can affect a young person and
finally how educators can approach such a sensitive topic. What is youth culture? Youth culture is the way adolescents live their lives and the social
normalities, values and practices they share. Colette identifies that "youth culture is not so easily defined and is rapidly changing." This identifies an
issue in itself that because of rapid change youth can find it difficult to define them selves, who they are and what they want. There are many areas
in society that affect youth culture, these include: music and film, literature, social media, sexual attitudes, sub cultures, political and commercial
influences, and a constant battle to challenge traditions. In more recent years young people are feeling more pressure by society in many ways but
none so as high as sexual pressure. The age people are beginning to have their first sexual experience is on a rapid decrease with some known cases

Youth Culture and Social Change
Youth Culture and Social Change
Introduction
Culture can be defined as the shared values, customs, beliefs, behaviours and knowledge of a particular group or society.[1] Similarly, youth culture
refers to the shared values, etc. of individuals in their teenage and young adult years. During the last century, the world around us has changed greatly,
and as a result of this, so too has youth culture changed. In this investigation, the ways in which social change has influenced youth culture from the
1960's to today will be explored and how changes in factors such as the media and technology, male/female roles in relationships, attitudes towards
parents and elders and values have played a part in shaping this.

'All we had the power to do was to accept or decline his offer.' she said. Sex before marriage was also seen as socially unacceptable with many
teenagers who became pregnant being thrown out of the family home by parents.[10] This was a result of contraceptives not being as easier
acquired. 'The pill was not generally available and condoms were only available from chemists and barbers and at three shillings a pack. Too expensive
us teens to buy.' says Davis.
Today, teenagers and young adults are not only taught by their parents but also through the media about a relationship. This has brought about a
generation where the male and female sex can be seen to be more equal in their roles in relationships. For example, it is becoming more and more
common for a girl to ask a guy to go out to catch a movie, hit a club, or just hang out. However, according to Tresize, this change has also caused
some confusion to males in relationships. 'We now get mixed messages from partners in relationships. There are some girls who want the guy in a
relationship to be either strong or vulnerable, or take charge or not to dominate. It's confusing!" Following the sexual revolution in the late 60's, sexual
behavior in relationships has also been normalised by the media. With an increase in teenage dramas on TV, teenagers and young adults are now

Counter-Culture Youth Pic Essay
In the following essay, I will attempt to highlight the phenomenon in cinema known as the "counterculture youth–pic." This trend in production started

relatively short popularity of the genre.

Following the beatnik movement of the late 1950's a number of young people, embracing some of the same ideas, congregated in San Diego's Haight
suburb. But it was not necessarily just the youth of the day that were part of this social rejection.
"The last half of the 1960's saw the emergence of seemingly new cultures among young people, which were promptly collapsed under the label youth
culture by adults. Even so, these cultures were neither entirely novel, nor limited to young people, nor so homogeneous as to be described by one
label." (Grans, Comparative Analysis)
Part of what made this movement so distinguishable at the time was the rebellion against the fashion industry, as well as social norms. It was relatively
easy to pick out which people sympathized with the movement, especially with the characteristic male look of the "Jesus Christ hair and beard." They
dressed to highlight their freakiness, combining clothes of other times and cultures.

Beatle boots, hats–bowlers, stove–top, cowboy, Eskimo, anything–and beads, of course." (Echols, Shaky Ground)

Book Nation : The Transformation Of Youth Culture
To begin, what are comic books? Well according to Bradford W. Wright the author of Comic Book Nation: The Transformation of Youth Culture in
America "Comic books are created, distributed, and sold on their own merits to a paying and overwhelmingly young audience" (Wright, 2001, p.xiv).
Since the beginning of time (particularly beginning in the 1920's), comic books have always been a creative reflection of what's going on in popular
culture. Comic books tend to perfectly depict animations that relate to current politics, historical events, and current social issues that we face every
day in the United States. Comic books cover a wide range of pop culture genres such as: adventure, horror, crime, mystery, romance, westerns, and
humor (just to name a few). However, comic books also discuss serious American popular culture issues but utilize superheroes (such as Spiderman,
Batman, and Superman) and villains (such as The Joker, Dr. Doom, and Lex Luthor) as the main characters; which fascinated the youth and thus
resulted in a popular, successful, and booming comic book industry. Overall, I really enjoyed Wright's book Comic Book Nation: The Transformation
of Youth Culture in America. Wright does a great job at thoroughly explaining how comic books have always been a very imperative aspect of the
youth and American popular culture throughout the years. For example, in particular comic books had a profound impact on the youth in the 1930's.

Vietnam War Youth Culture Essay
Youth culture in the United States seems to change with every new fad and style, but the shift in youth culture during the Vietnam War was something
else entirely. Young adults were faced with startling new things like being drafted into the military and facing violence on the homefront. Young people
in the United States, and soldiers stationed in Vietnam, tried to use drugs as an escape from the reality of war and death. While the soldiers were
fighting overseas, many young people faced their own battles at home by protesting and and rallying. While looking back into the 1960s and 1970s, it
is important that we recognize the struggles and triumphs of the Vietnam War era youth.
To fully understand the changes of youth culture due to the Vietnam War, it is important to analyze the United State's involvement in the war to begin

Vietnam (Kington, 2012). In the early 1950s, The United States began aiding South Vietnam with funds and military training against the Viet Cong,

Teenagers had a great amount of contribution to consumerism. The teen culture created a new market for companies to target. With the free time
teens had, it allowed more freedom as well as money to spend which sets apart teenagers from before. This change allowed a separate youth culture
to evolve. The era of the 1960's is known as the hippie decade. The mid sixties was the beginning of teenagers creating a different lifestyle than the
decades before them. This lifestyle included more freedom, nonconformity, and speaking up about their opinions. Music such as Rock and Roll
defined the youth culture of the sixties. The 1970's were a time of transition for America. It changed from the youth being active in social injustices
by protesting, to being apathetic about politics. The young people just wanted to be happy for a change and wanted to have a good time. The use of
drugs and sexual activity was significant during that time period. They were very experimental and did what they wanted to do without much

These standards shape the way in which society views and identifies male and female characteristics. The media projects gender stereotypes and
models for the sexes as follows. Men within the media are constructed to be powerful and aggressive figures, whom embrace financial security and
dominant control. (media, M. 2015) The media projects woman to be constructed as small and nurturing – concerned with family and sustaining
beauty. (media, M. 2015) Often these stereotypes are referred to as codes or sexual codes. The code for each gender is constructed using values and
rules an individual must conform to, in order to fit into their interpreted social group. (Cliffnotes.com, 2015)
The way these male and female codes are created is through Hebdige's theory – Symbolic Interaction. People develop and rely upon the process of
social interaction. Men and woman act and behave according to their interpretation of the meaning of their world. They behave based on what they
believe – not what is objectively true. (Crossman, 2015) The media especially plays on these elements of social interaction theory.
We find that men and woman are still upholding their stereotypes because they are conforming to what they are told and see within their lives and

Hegemony is a concept that involves uses of power. It was created by Antonio Gramsci in order to understand the difference between dominant groups
in society that have power and that use "intellectual and moral leadership" in an attempt to win over the less powerful submissive groups (Storey 8). In
this way, hegemony will be demonstrated in youth culture. Willard states that the cultural authority of the dominant society must be questioned as to its
legitimacy in the dominant role as the authority plays an important role in its production (739). Talcott Parson (qtd. in Osgerby) says that youth in his

Others that called themselves the authentic gothic community didn't particularly like this and thought they sought resistance they had been portrayed
the wrong way. They then used the internet to counteract this by posting on sites that the shooters of columbine weren't true Goths and had merely
adopted gothic fashion (Griffiths 240). This indicates that the influence of the media has misrepresented Goths as something they are not. In this case
Goths had achieved the resistance from the powerful dominating society they sought if not in the way they planned to.
Though Goths have been outcast by the media, Paul Hodkinson (qtd. in Osgerby) illustrates a different portrayal of Goths in society, they pride
themselves on having "individuality, creativity, open–mindedness and commitment" (132) and this is shown in society by applying themselves in
creative works, sometimes involving their usual job.
Popular entertainment also applies to hegemony in its use of power as there is a dominant view that through the use of popular media, video games,
particular theatres and other popular forms of entertainment youth has been badly affected and influenced by these. The transgression of juvenile
crime in Britain in Victorian times in youth is thought to be derived from "penny gaff theatres" (Springhall qtd. in Osgerby 66).

Youth And The Hip Hop Youth Culture
Australian Youth Culture
Introduction
Youth has various definitions. It can be considered as a state of mind, a life stage, or a stage of development. Youth can also be considered as a
creation of marketing and a demographic category. Youth cultures as well as subcultures based on the theory or theories applied refer to cultures that
in most part comprise of young people as the members. Youth cultures are determined by ways of living and they revolve around peer groups that
stress a definitive style of living as an external designation of affiliation and appearance. In this essay, I will analyse how globalisation, popularculture,
and consumerism emerge as factors that influence the participation of young people in the hip–hop youth culture in Australia. I will also apply the
human ecological theory in order to facilitate the understanding of factors that affect youth participation in the hip–hop culture.
Culture is generally described as a way of life. It entails the meanings, values, practices, and beliefs that are usually contrasted with structure, nature, and
biology (Alim, 2006). As a concept, culture can be divided into two. The first classification of culture is the expressive culture form which comprises of

The Problem Of Youth Culture
Inhalants have been a problem in youth culture longer than one might expect in the United States. In the 1950's it began to be discovered that kids
were experiencing effects of getting "high" by sniffing glue. Inhalants are very dangerous due to the fact they are a stealth drug. That is, they are mostly
substances that were never intended for human consumption. Moreover, the users can obtain a fast high at home by telling their parents they are going
to study; while disappearing into their room to "huff'" an inhalant. Inhalants are difficult to regulate considering they do have practical uses for
particular purposes. Thus, most of the products used to obtain a high are not prohibited from sale in the economic market. Inhalants are becoming ...

American Youth Culture
The end of the World War II marked the beginning of a new era, not only for America but for the entire world. In the United States, the end of the war
was celebrated and hope for the future began. America's future looked bright even though there still was uncertainty with the threat of the Soviet Union.
A distinctive youth culture emerged during the postwar era. Also the suburbs were considered a popular place to live. It was a socially conservative time.
Gender roles for men and women were clearly defined. This era's emphasis was guided upon social conformity and family.
Kelley stated that the most popular comics of the Golden Age were the "teen humor comics, most notably the Archie comics" (11). After the war
superheroes declined, and a comic book seal of approval was created. This seal made sure that comics were created wholesome, appropriate for the
youth culture and in good moral standing. There was to be no signs of homosexuality, perversion, sex before marriage or disrespect to authority or the
mention of alcohol and drugs. "If Superman's goal was to defeat the Nazis, then Archie's goal was to ask Betty to the big dance" (Kelley 11). One

Youth Culture And Subculture Developed
Youth culture existed before the Second World War and it did not suddenly appear after 1945. However, it emerged after that time for various
reasons that will be explained later on this essay. There were many factors of how youth culture and subculture developed such as: demographic
changes, National Service, education and raising the school leaving age, the economic period and music. And these factors also helped shape
people's experiences of them. B Demographic changes were the first and one of the reasons why youth culture created such anxiety. Because of
survived married soldiers coming back from the Second World War, there was a 'baby boom', which meant that the number of people under twenty
grew from 3 million in 1951 to 4 million in 1966. (Osgerby, 2005) B There were two changes that happened and established youth as a group with
certain needs and problems. The first one was Butler's education act of 1944, and that raised the school leaving age from 12 to 14. Further changes
were made in 1947 raising it to 15 and 16 in 1972. Which meant that it allowed children to go to secondary school. The second change was the
development of youth services such as youth clubs, which made these young people do something useful in their leisure. (Osgerby, 2005) B Another
factor that helped shape the development of youth culture was the introduction of the National Service in 1948 and that conscripted

Youth Culture In The 1960s
The years after World War II was a very prosperous time for the United States and things seem to getting better, however, for many that wasn't the case.
Non–white ethnic groups and younger people began to lash out against the establishment. This created an environment in the 1960s in which people of
differing groups, ethnic and otherwise butted heads sometimes to the point of violence. The differences between the youth culture and the adult culture
is that the youth culture was more willing to take risks in their behavior, probably due to the fact that they are young in the first place and having less
responsibility than their adult counterparts. The youth in the 1960s had developed a bit of an edginess to them because of the changing political

Essay on Youth Culture
The 60's and 70's saw the rise of youth culture. Youth culture can be seen as a particular pattern of beliefs, values, symbols and activities that a group
of young people are seen to share.
Along with the rise of youth culture came the theories developed on it. The theories developed in the 60's were mainly functionalism. Functionalists
believe that society or a social structure is like a biological structure and that all social institutions function for the survival of society. As social
structures change by becoming more complex, social institutions change by becoming more specialised. Functionalists, therefore, believe youth culture
has a social function; they see it as young people solving there shared ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Functionalists like Eisenstadt explain social institutions in terms of social problems and cultural solutions. The youth "problem" lies in young peoples
marginal status, youth culture eases the resulting anxieties and uncertainties. His argument is that in meeting young peoples needs, youth culture has
the general function of smoothing the transition from child to adult. He believes that the most important function for its members was emotional and
providing young people with a set of relationships, (peer groups.) The most important point for Eisenstadt is not that some young people become
deviants but that even the most deviant of youths become normal adults. He saw youth culture not as a political rebellion but as an essential problem
solving social function.
Eisenstadts argument is a general argument. It refers to the transition that faces all young people in industrial society but not all young people are the
same. He didn't take into account that growing up middle class is different to growing up working class and that growing up male is different to
growing up female. Also, he was explaining youth culture in a time of relative affluence and optimism, growing up was not particularly problematic in
the 1950's.
In the 1970's the strongly Marxist influenced CCCS related class to youth subcultures. They argued that youth styles were a reflection of the economic

How Youth Online Culture Is Perceived
The impact of online culture on youth is hugely significant in today's society. Youth of today, all around the world, have grown up in the midst of
rapid technological development. It now plays a part in the social, work, leisure, and private spheres of people's lives. Adults perceive youth
interactions online as negative, harming their ability to develop and function in the adult world. Youth perceive their involvement in online culture
quite differently, seeing it as a way to keep socially connected, express themselves, and participate in society. Youth do not need to change their
behaviours to suit adult's perceptions, but rather, adults and youth need to be more understanding of the other's views.
Adult concepts regarding youth online culture are mostly negative and result from the moral panic of current society promoted by the media. Gray's
blog article (2014) draws attention to and challenges stereotypical views that adults hold about youth online. Firstly, that youth are simply wasting time
on the internet when they could be doing school work, going out, or being active. Secondly, that it is socially isolating, preventing youth from going out
and physically interacting with peers in person. Thirdly, that youth do not understand the concepts of privacy and safety online and that they will
inevitably regret sharing some information, once they have reached adulthood. It is also argued that youth should adjust their behaviours to

Rock And Roll Influence On Youth Culture
The discussion here will be of the invention of rock 'n' roll and how did it emerge from the new working class youth culture. Styles of this are said to
be fused from black and white popular music. All Genres have been studied for years but for rock itself was hard to get an agenda to just focus on this
as for some didn't considered if rock as form of music was as worthy to study than others.
The body of my essay will discuss the history of rock 'n' roll and the popular youth cultures in the last century and how their choice of music was
developed.
No matter the genre, music in itself gives a person a sense of security. This is obvious at a young age, where a child will keep themselves contempt and
relaxed by singing to themselves and control their emotions, where an adult doing their housework will sing to themselves to give freedom and soul.
This is shown through this essay that the youth culture brought other genre into their popular music to explore more rhythm.
"When you see Elvis Presley singing songs early in his career I think you [should] imagine, he is channeling Rosetta Tharpe. It's not an image that I
think we're used to thinking of in rock and roll history. We don't think about the black woman behind the young white man."

American Graffiti: The Counterculture Of Youth Culture
The early 1960's to mid 1970s was the start of the counterculture of youth culture. There were many revolutions during the 1960's surrounding around
sexual, cultural and racial, civil rights, and educational issues. In addition to the revolutions, there also was centered around the transition to adulthood,
anxiety, and consumption. The film, American Graffiti, which was set in the 1962 (1960s)–before the peak of 1960's counterculture–and released in
1973 (1970's) displays a more nostalgic environment compared to the environment during the counterculture. American Graffiti shows the 1960's youth
accurately with the adulthood transition anxiety, growing consumerism, and sexuality; however, set during the counterculture the film does not capture

Youth And Social Construction
The intricate nature of youth means that while some argue it is a universal stage of life, it is seen by many as a formation of sociocultural elements.
Social construction can be defined as something that has been shaped by the values, interests or practices of a culture or society and this is evident in the
youth demographic through its revolution in recent years. The markings of youth are social in formulation; highlighting the way in which young
people have been influenced by differing trends and movements. Youth is a transitional phase, its age bracket extending and blurring; transcending
global divides and traditions. Thus, it is the social context that surrounds youth which suggests that it is not a universal stage of life. Ultimately, the
idea of youth when viewed in a historical and cultural context as well as in relation to other socially influenced concepts such as adulthood, can be
observed as a social construction.
A Post–First World War occurrence, the concept of youth emerged as a historically comprised debate in response to the social, political and cultural
shifts at the time. Youth became a label used to categorize a particular age group, with education and perceived life progress used to mark the unfixed
period between childhood and adulthood. It has been suggested that there has been disruption in the general 'life patterns' for young people present
around the time of, or born just after the First World War (White & Wyn, 2008). The statement is helpful

Youth culture's significance transcends the standard images of generational identity to stereotype each decade's youth. The jazz age was characterized
through rebellious morals and loose women. "American culture mythologized youth as a time of exploration, becoming, growth, pain, and thus, by

journey in pursuit of the american dream is hindered through their exploration of their youth. "This Side of Paradise records evolving ideas on youth
that today are the norm. Not only do these novels critique outmoded Victorian ideals of maturation, but they explore the ambiguous power that flagrant

articles and even songs. Many perspectives and opinions, both negative and positive, have been displayed over the many years the culture has lived.
Though having very many positive attributes, hip–hop is known to be a prognosis for negativity in society such as criminal acts, excessive sexual
/vulgar activities and emotional expression resulting in other negative outcomes. The social and psychological problems of this topic has surfaced and
been explored by various people, now on a more serious caliber. Hip–Hop 's History The music genre and underground urban movement known as
hip–hop was originated in the 1970s in South Bronx in the city of New York. Hip–hop music consists of rhythmic and rhyming lyrics, accompanied by
a similar rhythmic beat or melody. Hip–hop 's name is credited, by many hip–hop artists, to Keith Cowboy, a rapper from the then popular group
Sugarhill Gang. The Sugarhill Gang was an independent African – American owned label that released the first ever rap record, "Rapper 's Delight."
Cowboy, along with his fellow group members, would chant the words "hip" and "hop" at concerts with the audience which began the trend of hip

70's disco, 90's gangster rap, in present–day, most music has some underlying message relating to what is happening in society. Some messages in
music transcend through culture and time. Today's youth demographics music taste has evolved to pop and rap. Some rap is not articulate or pleasing
to the ear, to put it lightly it sounds bad. Generation Z, today's youth culture, is more open to accepting and admitting change and diversity. There are
many public figures that promote these things; Angelina Jolie, Ellen DeGeneres, Hillary Clinton, Lady Gaga, Bill Gates, BeyoncГ©, and President
Barack Obama. One man who preaches peace, love, and positivity through his music is Sir Robert Bryson Hall II or otherwise known as Logic.

Teenager are rather more set to try out new products and brands than adults. When we are talking about youth marketing, we have to consider several
factors as the hybrid consumption structure, the individualisation, the general criteria of an multi–option society and the trends. The present world is
characterized by a great number of products and services. Young people grow in the so–called multi–option society. The real wants and needs of the
teenagers must be elicited, in order to not produce a substitutable product among many others. These form an essential basis for processing the youth
market. The desire of independence, recognition and acceptation shape strongly the youth phase. Also the value preferences have a relevance, for
understanding teenagers as a target group. Family, friends, fun and any form of leisure are essential pillars of their environment. Young people spend

now have 93 million customers world–wide. The common theme in the seven aspects of Netflix's culture is that of an Adhocracy Culture. ("About

Adhocracy cultures, as defined by Kreitner and Kinicki, "foster the creation of innovative products and services by being adaptable, creative, and fast

In the early days, Hip–Hop was primarily related to the rhyming, rhythmic spoken word art form known as rapping. Rapping is, in fact, not a new
method of creative expression. The ease with which young people can participate in this form of creativity seems to have helped the phenomenal
growth of this genre of music and expression.
Review of rap music lyrics and styling from the early to mid–1970's, when Hip–Hop began, reveals several aspects of the musical genre that appear to
have had significant appeal to young people, particularly those in urban communities. There has never been one all–inclusive form of rap music. It
covers a broad range of ideas, styling and techniques that are unique to specific demographic areas, geographic regions and territories and locales.
The following comprises some of the hallmarks of early rap music:

Instagram Is A Negative Impact On The Youth Culture

  • 1. Instagram Is A Negative Impact On The Youth Culture Demi Lovato stated "People say sticks and stones may break your bones, but names can never hurt you, but that's not true. Words can hurt. They hurt me. Things were said to me that I still haven't forgotten." Given this point, I believe Instagram is a negative impact on the youth culture because it created virtual bullying and a disillusioned self–image meaning lowering one's self–esteem how someone's appearance supposed to be. Thus, I believe as a previous instagramer one shouldn't indulge in the social media world if they're not self–confident or aware of their own self. Bullying begins inside the school because my beginning stages of being bullied began in the 4th grade. At that time, I attended a private school which was majority whites and I was the only little black girl in my class, we all knew each other since pre–school but as we aged the one's I had as friends disappeared into their own group of peers, so I was left alone. Since, I felt like I wasn't fitting in and lost the friends I once had I decided to transfer over to a majority African American public school in the 6th grade which was actually worse than being alienated at the private school. My assumption on being around peers who were the same race was a mistake because although I felt alienated at my other school, once I transferred over in the 5th grade I literally transferred to a school from hell. Students started to bully me because of how proper I spoken. For example, They would tease me because of my ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. The Significance of Australian Youth Culture and Radio Today the world in which we live in can be seen as a vastly media integrated way of life. Whether it is film, television or advertising, these forms of media constantly surround us, influencing and changing the way we live. But what about radio? Some say that radio is dying, that its use has become useless, that it was only an aid of assistance during the early and mid 1900's. But the way I see it, I think that radio is more relevant and significant today than it ever was, especially for the diverse Australian youth cultures. Their lifestyle, education, political views and social aspects come under a large role due to what they listen to over the radio. So how do radio stations maintain and attract their listeners? What sort of impacts ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Australian youths of different ethnicities are searching for more innovative and creative ways of sourcing and utilizing information in order to exchange their culture and way of life with the wider community so that they are able to gain a sense of belonging. By broadcasting the news and issues of a local community and the country of their origin – in their own language, it builds and strengthens new communities as well as establishing confidence and providing the essential atmosphere for the growing Australian youth. For many people, community radio broadcasting plays a significant role in their lives especially for those who come from country or rural areas. As highlighted before, community broadcasting develops a sense of Australian identity, character and cultural diversity. Statistics show that the 9.5 million people that tune in to community radio each month state that they value their local content and diverse local music that their community radio produces for them. With regards to the Australian youth, community radio is of great importance as youths in rural areas are able to keep up to date with current news as well as their local news as opposed to more urbanised youths where their news is constantly provided with other forms of media during their everyday lives. Community radio gives everyone, not just youths, the right set of circumstances needed to keep up to date and involved with the rest of the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Essay on Identities and Individualism: Youth cultures Identities and Individualism: Youth cultures 'Identities and Individualism: Youth cultures' is aimed at lower secondary, level 6. As a part of a 'suite of modules for Levels 1 to 6,' this module addresses the very important issue of identity in today's world (QSCC 2002:4). It not only allows for flexibility in discovering one's position within a group in society but how they relate to and within the broader world scheme. The module explores identity as constructed by the media focussing on the strand of Culture and Identity (CI) with some Time, Continuity and Change (TCC) core learning outcomes used to provide background and context. The phases are logically sequenced, interlinking in a practical and cohesive manner. Phase One acts as an ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In this module, the syllabus outcomes are met, but at the same time remain flexible enough so that the teaching program can be customised to meet the specific needs, interests and abilities of their students. In this respect, processes to meet the CLOs and the CLOs themselves can be tailored and approached accordingly. While the module promotes a range of Core Learning Outcomes from the Time, Continuity and Change (TCC) and Culture and Identity strands, Phase One emphasises the dual processes of reflection and investigation (QSCC 2002:2). This phase frames questions that ask students to consider how they can be themselves, what influences their self–perception and how they can control these factors (QSCC 2002:6). These central questions are asked from the Phase's outset and the activities which follow it are designed to develop students' investigative skills and ability to critically reflect as they arrive at a range of answers. These same answers form the basis for fulfilling the module's purpose and overview; Activities explore youth identities as constructed by the media. They assist students to consider how they might take greater control of their lives, especially their ideas, values and attitudes in present day globalised Australia. (QSCC 2002:1). Phase Two builds upon the knowledge foundation laid in Phase One and its CLOs are investigating, communicating and reflecting. As mentioned earlier, the processes of creating and participating are also present. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Specifically, I am going to explain some of cultural components and influences such as cultural norms, expectation, and expressions of the local youth culture in Santa Fe community. Also, beside the graffiti wall, I will figure out some of good strategies for keeping connection and relationships with youth in this community. According to the article, local artists encourage to paint the legal wall in Santa Fe. It does not mean just a painting but also mean the opportunity to speak their voice to the community. The influences of the local youth culture in Santa Fe are enormous in the society. First of all, the tendency of young people that they turn to alcohol, drugs, or anti–social behaviors have been shifted to a positive way. Also, the legal graffiti wall gave...

The graffiti community is a place where people feel free to speak their voice. Also, it is the place where many do not feel discourage of expressing their views into painting. It became a natural place where people can be involved and embraced even with others who have different culture background. With that being said, there are some of expectations of this youth culture in Santa Fe. According to the article, one of the member of the committee said that she sees "the possibility for a combination of a permanent mural and a curated rotation of artists' work, an evolving piece of artwork that continues to reflect and communicate with the community." In other words, one of the biggest expectation from doing it is that combination of cultural innovation would happen while respecting and honoring their community.

  • 5. Hip Hop : An Evolving Youth Culture Hip–hop is influential on a family 's relationship, the life, and education of the new generation. When talking about the culture of Hip–hop one should know about lifestyle influence and literary development. "Hip Hop is Now: An Evolving Youth Culture", is about how hip –hop has been an influence on society, primarily the youth. Also, how the younger generation treats life differently compared to the older generation. The article is written by Carl Taylor and Virgil Taylor. "Promoting Academic Literacy with Urban Youth through Engaging Hip –Hop Culture" is written by, Ernest Morrell and Jeffrey M. R. Duncan–Andrade. The article is about how hip–hop can effectively become a part of school literacy. Both articles are centered around the influence on hip–hop. One tells how hip–hop has been an influence of life, the second article explains how hip–hop can be an academic influence. On August 11, 2015 hip–hop had developed to see 42 years of age. Though four point two decades seems like a large amount of time it is a minor amount compared to other genres such as gospel and classical, hip–hop is still young and developing. Hip–hip is still a youthful sprout, though it has been able to plant robust roots that have reached out around the world. With hip–hop set as one of the most powerful forms of music it is also a fundamental line to inspire lifestyle, character, and personal actions.

With the increase in violent youth gangs becoming more of a reality the UK governments have had a distinctive and problematic issue with the youth of today's society that choose to not confirm with the social norms. So what key factors attract people to this idea of being a Gang member? In a collaboration of well thought out theories and a well–adapted proposition conspiring with this question of 'troubled families' and youth gang involvement, Tara young alongside Daniel Silverstone and Wendy Fitzgibbon Criminologists from the social sciences of the University of London Metropolitan examine this moral panic around families and the link ...

  • 7. Youth Culture Is Saturated With Porn Essay The main purpose for this essay is to discuss whether or not youth culture is saturated with porn? The essay aims to highlight what youth culture is and how it can be affected? This will take into account a number of sources, research including The Academy of Paediatrics and Colett (2014) in order to establish a definition of what the term youth culture truly is. It will then discuss what porn is and how it can affect a young person and finally how educators can approach such a sensitive topic. What is youth culture? Youth culture is the way adolescents live their lives and the social normalities, values and practices they share. Colette identifies that "youth culture is not so easily defined and is rapidly changing." This identifies an issue in itself that because of rapid change youth can find it difficult to define them selves, who they are and what they want. There are many areas in society that affect youth culture, these include: music and film, literature, social media, sexual attitudes, sub cultures, political and commercial influences, and a constant battle to challenge traditions. In more recent years young people are feeling more pressure by society in many ways but none so as high as sexual pressure. The age people are beginning to have their first sexual experience is on a rapid decrease with some known cases as young as 10, along side the amount of sexual promiscuity is on the increase.

  • 8. 1960s Youth Culture Analysis The source base for this era is large and varied because many records and media sources were produced in the 1960s and they have been preserved due to their relatively recent production and through the process of digitisation. Therefore, to allow for the greatest scope of analysis, different genres of sources have been chosen to explore the relationship between youth culture and different versions of protest in this portfolio. The first source to be examined is a survey from the New York Times. It will be used to analyse the extent to which 1960s youth culture represented a rebellion against the culture of older generations. Mitchell Hall and Fry strongly support the stance that there was a large generation gap in the 1960s whereas Benjamin ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 9. Youth Culture and Social Change Youth Culture and Social Change Introduction Culture can be defined as the shared values, customs, beliefs, behaviours and knowledge of a particular group or society.[1] Similarly, youth culture refers to the shared values, etc. of individuals in their teenage and young adult years. During the last century, the world around us has changed greatly, and as a result of this, so too has youth culture changed. In this investigation, the ways in which social change has influenced youth culture from the 1960's to today will be explored and how changes in factors such as the media and technology, male/female roles in relationships, attitudes towards parents and elders and values have played a part in shaping this. Methodology While the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... 'All we had the power to do was to accept or decline his offer.' she said. Sex before marriage was also seen as socially unacceptable with many teenagers who became pregnant being thrown out of the family home by parents.[10] This was a result of contraceptives not being as easier acquired. 'The pill was not generally available and condoms were only available from chemists and barbers and at three shillings a pack. Too expensive us teens to buy.' says Davis. Today, teenagers and young adults are not only taught by their parents but also through the media about a relationship. This has brought about a generation where the male and female sex can be seen to be more equal in their roles in relationships. For example, it is becoming more and more common for a girl to ask a guy to go out to catch a movie, hit a club, or just hang out. However, according to Tresize, this change has also caused some confusion to males in relationships. 'We now get mixed messages from partners in relationships. There are some girls who want the guy in a relationship to be either strong or vulnerable, or take charge or not to dominate. It's confusing!" Following the sexual revolution in the late 60's, sexual behavior in relationships has also been normalised by the media. With an increase in teenage dramas on TV, teenagers and young adults are now witnessing scenes that would have been

  • 11. Counter-Culture Youth Pic Essay In the following essay, I will attempt to highlight the phenomenon in cinema known as the "counterculture youth–pic." This trend in production started in the late 1960's as a result of the economic and cultural influences on the film industry of that time. The following essay looks at how those influences helped to shape a new genre in the film industry, sighting Easy Rider as a main example, and suggests some possible reasons for the relatively short popularity of the genre. "The standard story of the counterculture begins with an account of the social order against which it rebelled, a social order that was known to just about everyone by 1960 as the "mass society." The tale of post–war malaise and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Following the beatnik movement of the late 1950's a number of young people, embracing some of the same ideas, congregated in San Diego's Haight suburb. But it was not necessarily just the youth of the day that were part of this social rejection. "The last half of the 1960's saw the emergence of seemingly new cultures among young people, which were promptly collapsed under the label youth culture by adults. Even so, these cultures were neither entirely novel, nor limited to young people, nor so homogeneous as to be described by one label." (Grans, Comparative Analysis) Part of what made this movement so distinguishable at the time was the rebellion against the fashion industry, as well as social norms. It was relatively easy to pick out which people sympathized with the movement, especially with the characteristic male look of the "Jesus Christ hair and beard." They dressed to highlight their freakiness, combining clothes of other times and cultures. "Davy Crockett buckskin, military surplus, Buddhist robes, Edwardian suits, Errol Flynn pirate shirts, native American headbands, capes, cowboy and Beatle boots, hats–bowlers, stove–top, cowboy, Eskimo, anything–and beads, of course." (Echols, Shaky Ground) It was not only the social values and fashion trends that were experimented with. This period in history also saw a large rise in drug usage. ...

  • 12. Youth Culture Vs Pop Culture Everything changes overtime. After World War II, America's birth rate exploded with more than 65 million children being born. As they grew, technology advanced and grew along with them. Regular television broadcasts had begun at this time and radio stations also started broadcasting recorded music, news, weather, sports, and talk shows. As time passed, technology had evolved immensely. Teens today have changed with they years and now see things differently as they did back then. These teens also have many similarities that have stayed with them in the young culture. After the war, the youth had grown to have more liberty and now have a strong voice in the culture today. In today's youth, teens and young adults do have some differences from the adolescence in the 1950s. The juvenility today truly relies on technology so much that it influences the culture. With the technology acquired, many social media apps and networks greatly impact the teens today. Trends and hashtags become famous easily by teens making a simple video of something viral.

Rock 'n' Roll was really popular at this time and was teen's favorite music genre at the time. With the heavy beats and attention grabbing rhythm, rock 'n' roll appealed to teens. The young adults would buy recordings from famous artists, such as Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and Bill Haley and the Comets. Later in 1956, teenagers found their first rock 'n' roll hero in music and movie star, Elvis Presley. With all the new music coming out, not every teen could afford to buy new albums or to listen to new music due to poverty.

  • 13. Book Nation : The Transformation Of Youth Culture To begin, what are comic books? Well according to Bradford W. Wright the author of Comic Book Nation: The Transformation of Youth Culture in America "Comic books are created, distributed, and sold on their own merits to a paying and overwhelmingly young audience" (Wright, 2001, p.xiv). Since the beginning of time (particularly beginning in the 1920's), comic books have always been a creative reflection of what's going on in popular culture. Comic books tend to perfectly depict animations that relate to current politics, historical events, and current social issues that we face every day in the United States. Comic books cover a wide range of pop culture genres such as: adventure, horror, crime, mystery, romance, westerns, and humor (just to name a few). However, comic books also discuss serious American popular culture issues but utilize superheroes (such as Spiderman, Batman, and Superman) and villains (such as The Joker, Dr. Doom, and Lex Luthor) as the main characters; which fascinated the youth and thus resulted in a popular, successful, and booming comic book industry. Overall, I really enjoyed Wright's book Comic Book Nation: The Transformation of Youth Culture in America. Wright does a great job at thoroughly explaining how comic books have always been a very imperative aspect of the youth and American popular culture throughout the years. For example, in particular comic books had a profound impact on the youth in the 1930's. Wright stated that: "Progressive ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Vietnam War Youth Culture Essay Youth culture in the United States seems to change with every new fad and style, but the shift in youth culture during the Vietnam War was something else entirely. Young adults were faced with startling new things like being drafted into the military and facing violence on the homefront. Young people in the United States, and soldiers stationed in Vietnam, tried to use drugs as an escape from the reality of war and death. While the soldiers were fighting overseas, many young people faced their own battles at home by protesting and and rallying. While looking back into the 1960s and 1970s, it is important that we recognize the struggles and triumphs of the Vietnam War era youth. To fully understand the changes of youth culture due to the Vietnam War, it is important to analyze the United State's involvement in the war to begin with. The Vietnam War was an ongoing, violent conflict between the Northern Vietnam communists called the Viet Cong and the democratic Southern Vietnam (Kington, 2012). In the early 1950s, The United States began aiding South Vietnam with funds and military training against the Viet Cong, over time the United States got more involved in Vietnam.

The era of the 1960's is known as the hippie decade. The mid sixties was the beginning of teenagers creating a different lifestyle than the decades before them. This lifestyle included more freedom, nonconformity, and speaking up about their opinions. Music such as Rock and Roll defined the youth culture of the sixties. The 1970's were a time of transition for America. It changed from the youth being active in social injustices by protesting, to being apathetic about politics. The young people just wanted to be happy for a change and wanted to have a good time. The use of drugs and sexual activity was significant during that time period. They were very experimental and did what they wanted to do without much worries. The seventies were a simple time more about not worrying.

Men and woman act and behave according to their interpretation of the meaning of their world. They behave based on what they believe – not what is objectively true.

It was created by Antonio Gramsci in order to understand the difference between dominant groups in society that have power and that use "intellectual and moral leadership" in an attempt to win over the less powerful submissive groups (Storey 8). In this way, hegemony will be demonstrated in youth culture. Willard states that the cultural authority of the dominant society must be questioned as to its legitimacy in the dominant role as the authority plays an important role in its production (739).

They then used the internet to counteract this by posting on sites that the shooters of columbine weren't true Goths and had merely adopted gothic fashion (Griffiths 240). This indicates that the influence of the media has misrepresented Goths as something they are not. In this case Goths had achieved the resistance from the powerful dominating society they sought if not in the way they planned to. Though Goths have been outcast by the media, Paul Hodkinson (qtd. in Osgerby) illustrates a different portrayal of Goths in society, they pride themselves on having "individuality, creativity, open–mindedness and commitment" (132) and this is shown in society by applying themselves in creative works, sometimes involving their usual job. Popular entertainment also applies to hegemony in its use of power as there is a dominant view that through the use of popular media, video games, particular theatres and other popular forms of entertainment youth has been badly affected and influenced by these.

A distinctive youth culture emerged during the postwar era. Also the suburbs were considered a popular place to live. It was a socially conservative time.

He believes that the most important function for its members was emotional and providing young people with a set of relationships, (peer groups.) The most important point for Eisenstadt is not that some young people become deviants but that even the most deviant of youths become normal adults. He saw youth culture not as a political rebellion but as an essential problem solving social function. Eisenstadts argument is a general argument. It refers to the transition that faces all young people in industrial society but not all young people are the same.

Adults perceive youth interactions online as negative, harming their ability to develop and function in the adult world.

  • 30. Youth And Social Construction The intricate nature of youth means that while some argue it is a universal stage of life, it is seen by many as a formation of sociocultural elements. Social construction can be defined as something that has been shaped by the values, interests or practices of a culture or society and this is evident in the youth demographic through its revolution in recent years. The markings of youth are social in formulation; highlighting the way in which young people have been influenced by differing trends and movements. Youth is a transitional phase, its age bracket extending and blurring; transcending global divides and traditions. Thus, it is the social context that surrounds youth which suggests that it is not a universal stage of life. Ultimately, the idea of youth when viewed in a historical and cultural context as well as in relation to other socially influenced concepts such as adulthood, can be observed as a social construction. A Post–First World War occurrence, the concept of youth emerged as a historically comprised debate in response to the social, political and cultural shifts at the time. Youth became a label used to categorize a particular age group, with education and perceived life progress used to mark the unfixed period between childhood and adulthood.

Youth Cultures ( Educ 817- 001 ) Ariana French Tuesday, November 18, 2014 Fieldwork Youth Cultures (EDUC 817 – 001) Dr. Andorful In order to prove that the Hip–Hop culture's beliefs and goals have changed, I am mostly going to rely heavily on the culture's music. Hip–Hop music has been the voice of the Hip–Hop culture since the beginning. It has been an outlet for those in the Hip–Hop culture to vent. To understand the changes in beliefs for the culture of Hip–Hop I must first distinguish what the original beliefs were. Then I must look at Hip–Hop music now to compare and contrast. This must be done using mostly first hand knowledge. This will give an actual inside look on the culture and eliminate preconception, lies or concealment. In order to find out the original beliefs I gathered six people who identify as being apart of the Old School Hip–Hop generation. They were all between the ages of 45 and 58. All of these people were African–American. Four of which were men and two were women. I then gathered six people within the ages of 18 and 24 who identified themselves as being apart of the New School Hip–Hop generation. Three of which were men. Two of these men were African–American and the other was Hispanic. The other three people were African–American women. All of the interviewees were in the lower or middle social class. I asked questions about the message of Hip–Hop the role it plays in society. In the survey I compiled, the first question I asked to the Old School Hip–Hop Group was: What ...

Fashion, movies, television, music, religion, sexuality, and diversity are all part of today's youth culture. Things that are becoming more acceptable. Music plays a huge role in all cultures because music is mostly universal. In the 1920s there was jazz, in the 50's there was rock, in the 70's disco, 90's gangster rap, in present–day, most music has some underlying message relating to what is happening in society. Some messages in music transcend through culture and time. Today's youth demographics music taste has evolved to pop and rap. Some rap is not articulate or pleasing to the ear, to put it lightly it sounds bad. Generation Z, today's youth culture, is more open to accepting and admitting change and diversity. There are many public figures that promote these things; Angelina Jolie, Ellen DeGeneres, Hillary Clinton, Lady Gaga, Bill Gates, BeyoncГ©, and President Barack Obama. One man who preaches peace, love, and positivity through his music is Sir Robert Bryson Hall II or otherwise known as Logic. Hip–hop may not fully accept Logic, but his songs 1–800–273–8255, Take it Back and Everybody have had an impact on current youth culture through the messages conveyed, lyrics, and music videos. 1–800–273–8255 is a song off Logic's third studio album, track 10 to be specific, but 1–800–273–8255 is not just a song it is ...

Some said her act was merely self–defence and that she was brave to fight back. There were a lot of factors which affected women's employment in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s such as social attitudes towards the family. Many people were traditional and saw women who worked to be selfish and neglecting their responsibilities in the home. Many working–class women could not afford child–minders and therefore relied on family and friends. Also, nursery education was expensive thus only an option for wealthier families. Women also had limited education; with limited educational opportunities for girl's women were restricted to lower paid employment as they required fewer skills. In the 1960s only 15% of doctors and 5% of the law profession were women and 80% of all factories, secretarial and shop work was done by women. There was also lack of government legalisation. Employers were reluctant to appoint women to responsible positions as they thought they would get married and leave. Also when women had the same job as men they were often paid lower. Employers argued that many women returning to work will work less hours and want a lot of time off due to their family.

In this paper the fifties are analyzed through the clothing, styles, cars, family life, and most importantly entertainment. Talking to various members of my family I asked them if they could remember the way that the youth dressed in the nineteen– fifties. The responses were all similar. The popular man role wore tight white T– shirts which were described to me (I hate this expression)as 'Guinea T's.' These are white T– shirts in which the manufacturer cut– off the sleeves.

The waters were packed and the terms to listen for were "hang ten" or "hangin' loose." There were also the Beatniks. In their depressed outfits and sunglasses they recited poetry and brought back more of a philosophical look at things. They went and ran underground music stores in which they could purchase un filtered music. Music that society said rotted their brains. They used their intellect rather than their physical appearance or coordination. These people served as a spring board for the hippies in the mid sixties. I had a chance to experience two cars from the fifties and was told about another. In my dads auto body shop he had a DeSota. I took pictures on my computer camera and saved them to a disk for your viewing pleasure. The DeSota was all steal and chrome. I even hurt my hand knocking on the dashboard. The steering wheel was the size of a large pizza, and my dad told me that they never even heard of power steering at that point. The car was stick shift and the stick was where the turning signals are. There were also only three gears to put your car into. I opened up the hood and to my surprise it looked empty.

When we are talking about youth marketing, we have to consider several factors as the hybrid consumption structure, the individualisation, the general criteria of an multi–option society and the trends. The present world is characterized by a great number of products and services. Young people grow in the so–called multi–option society. The real wants and needs of the teenagers must be elicited, in order to not produce a substitutable product among many others. These form an essential basis for processing the youth market. The desire of independence, recognition and acceptation shape strongly the youth phase. Also the value preferences have a relevance, for understanding teenagers as a target group. Family, friends, fun and any form of leisure are essential pillars of their environment. Young people spend often their time with friends, listening to music or practicing sport. These attributes mostly define them more than brands. These factors are influencing and affecting the aspects in the marketing–mix. 3.2.Understanding youth behaviour In order to understand the peculiarities of youth consumption, the knowledge over its background plays a grave role.

Netflix was started in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph with the idea of providing online movie rentals. By 1998, Netflix provided unlimited DVD Rentals through a monthly subscription. Today, Netflix provides online streaming services through multiple game consoles, televisions, and computer devices. They now have 93 million customers world–wide. The common theme in the seven aspects of Netflix's culture is that of an Adhocracy Culture. ("About Netflix," n.d.) Adhocracy cultures, as defined by Kreitner and Kinicki, "foster the creation of innovative products and services by being adaptable, creative, and fast to respond to changes in the marketplace" (2013, p. 70). Netflix maintains two values that identify their adhocracy culture and could help improve the organizational culture at Youth Villages. Before discussing their values, Netflix points out that anyone can establish espoused values and put them up in their lobby. They reference the espoused values of Enron versus the actions and behaviors that ultimately brought their demise as an example. Netflix states that their values are in fact enacted values, "the values and norms that are exhibited by employees" (Kinicki & Kreitner, 2013, p. 65).

Rapping is, in fact, not a new method of creative expression. The ease with which young people can participate in this form of creativity seems to have helped the phenomenal growth of this genre of music and expression. Review of rap music lyrics and styling from the early to mid–1970's, when Hip–Hop began, reveals several aspects of the musical genre that appear to have had significant appeal to young people, particularly those in urban communities. There has never been one all–inclusive form of rap music. It covers a broad range of ideas, styling and techniques that are unique to specific demographic areas, geographic regions and territories and locales. The following comprises some of the hallmarks of early rap music: * Simple yet dominant percussive patterns * Limited reliance on traditional musical systems of chord, verse, chorus and other formal and/or traditional methods of Western musical structure * Non–traditional utilisation of musical instruments including ...
