The speech by Sam Brownback is very impressive and intriguing. It lets us summarize and realize as to where we are letting our culture to accede. The true reality of the current pop rock culture is exposed. Mr. Sam starts with why he has chosen this platform to deliver the speech about the current pop culture. Then he explains what is wrong with the pop culture. But first he makes it clear that there is quite a clear difference between freedom of speech and respect of dignity and honor and restrictive censorship policies. He says that he is in no way opponent of libertarianism, but there must be some boundaries.


The description of the augmenting situation of crime especially towards women has a lot been owed by the heinous sort of music, which portrays violence and vulgarity not only by the torturous and defamatory music but also by the loudness. The example of Plato’s thought of what music is about is a good contribution in a way it made the audience realize the difference between good and bad music. Music is the nourishment of soul. True, as suggested by Sam. And violent music creates violence in the society, is also a very proven fact shown by the increased number of rape and murder victims. The reference of the survey in which kids spent four hours a day listening music is also a very good point to illustrate the opinion. This shows that children and teenagers are greatly influenced by this violent music.

 


The prestige of women mentioned as regard to these condemnation of violent music is in fact very relevant as to the current situation when the crimes against women has sworn. The equality of women and their respect are under question.
I think Sam is a very liberal politician and a very clever propagandist. On one had he is utilizing the opportunity to condemn the true violence music and on the other he is making the audience feel that women projections in these music are nonetheless derogatory and that women demand greater respect from society that mere abusive and cruel words. Also the mention of music as an export is related to make American music competitive in the market. And as US norms are not always applied outside America and that the culture outside does not support violence against women to such an excessive nature. This would ultimately jeopardize the image of Americans over the globe. The image which US has built after such a long struggle and hardship.
 

The stake of society and culture is also mentioned. The long-term effects on society are envisaged. I think these stirs emotions in the audience and also shivers them if once for a while they see what violence it would compel if not discouraged. The appeal to the masses to recognize as to what is right and what is wrong is a good tactic of making one’s opinion accepted and respected. In this way freedom of thought and speech validates and people out to appreciate and think.
 

The denouncement of rock bands promoting violent music culture may be good in some people’s minds, but to others, it might not. As human being are animals by nature, and the popularity of such bands predict that animal instincts are intimate to the so-called civilized society. So, this must not have been done so prominently as to mention names. However, it does ham their repute. But civilization demands courtesy and respect and honor, which is what the speaker demands of. After all Sam is not against restriction and censorship, and is staunch proponent of liberty of rights. This is what he says. He suggests that people must themselves decide what is wrong and what is right for them and for their up coming generations.
