What Influences Society?

Society seems to influence all ages by poisoning our minds with lies and aggression. People all over try to act like different souls because of what we see on television, hear on the radio, and view in the movie theaters. Everyone try's to dress different, act different, and change their whole life style just to be known like a certain movie star, or singer.

In their eyes it's just music, but in society's eyes, it's a matter of life or death. If we could abolish these in society, we wouldn't have kids being murdered, or kids committing suicidal acts because of what they hear. I'm not trying to bring anyone down for what they believe in, but that is the way it's got to be.
