3440 Words14 Pages

The most important thing for the Filipino youth nowadays are media and technology which shows the big things as part in their daily lives (Macapagal, Ofreneo, Montiel and Nolasco, 2013). The youth spends most of their time on their cellphones, Internet, and watching TV. Previous research says that media effects largely affect behavioural stimulus-response models. Through the exposure of such media, it may lead to a behavioural change (Macapagal, Ofreneo, Montiel and Nolasco, 2013). This shows not just on the exposure of visual-images but also on the type of music they hear. Like any media, music plays a huge role on our modern society. It has become something unimaginable without. It existed together with the Filipino culture and has been brought about and developed by people. Music may influence one’s behavior and his behavior towards other people depending on its content and the subject presented.

Persons exposed to such songs may behave in a way the song suggests from its content.
