Worldly Music and Video Games

According to 1st John 2:15 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world, If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him".

Constant exposure to negative influences such as sex, drugs and violence can lead to destructive behaviors. So often, youths imitate these negative acts due to repeated portrayals by the media. Many are not conscious that Satan is actively seducing and influencing peoples' lives through songs and music. He often works cunningly to influence our lives and values. A concern too many interested in the development and growth of teenagers is the negative and destructive themes of music (rock, heavy metal, hip-hop, etc.). The following themes, in some lyrics, are troublesome:

cognitive, and psychosocial.

Cognitive Skills are appropriate to the school situation, for they are concerned with knowing and thinking. Cognitive development focuses on how children learn and process information. It is the development of the thinking and organizing systems of the mind. It involves language, mental imagery, thinking, reasoning, problem solving, and memory development. A child enters this world very poorly equipped. The knowledge a child needs to become an individual is not dormant, it is not lurking in them. Everything the child eventually knows, or can do, must be learned. This of course excludes natural body functions, such as breathing, as well as the reflexes, for example the involuntary closing of the eye when an object approaches it. Everything else, however, must be learned. Remember cognitive development is not an automatic process.
