2. Argue against him

i. Response: Marilyn Manson thinks the real threat to young people is religion. He believes that it allows us to form a negative connotation with God if we are “atheist”. He claims his music is about believing in one self rather than denoting it. Marilyn Manson believes that entertainment is supposed to be strictly about individuality and having a good time. He thinks that society must sensor music/entertainment, because he claims his music to be about promoting individuality. Marilyn Manson is wrong. His music is about being crazy and uncontrolled. It’s also about being a rebel and trying to stick out from the crowd (in a negative connotation). His music is directly influential to the way young people act and his actions are seen as hate acts towards religions.

3. What role should parents play in protecting future generations? Society’s role?

a. Parents should show their children what they want them to know. They are parents, and thus their children often take what they say into great consideration, and thus they should use that power to their advantage, and teach children what it is in society is right, and wrong, and what to believe or not believe. It is their role to prepare kids for adulthood, and the real world, as flawed and messed up as it may be, and they cannot just sit back and allow for silly and harsh TV shows, and songs speaking of idiocy to influence their children, but instead teach them what is really important in life. Society should always be there
