Does Eminem's song lead to the high rate of gunshooting in U.S

Eminem is one of the most popular rapper in the world, whose song is also always the most controversial. He talks about everything he could think of without any taboo. He hates all his family members except his two daughters and uncle Rooney as he thinks most of them are selfish and ridiculous. His songs also target at those people holding a negative opinion about him. What’s more, he insults all the women. From all the news we heard about youth in the U.S, they have always given us a bad image which the American public said could not be unrelated to Eminem.As they said, Eminem’s songs teach those children how to hate people, what to do when hating people and why to kill.

First of all, Eminem himself has already read about these things and respond not even for once. He sang in the song "sing for the moment" that “They say music can alter moods and talk to you,but can it load a gun for you and cock it too?” The problem is not the music from outside or “hate” expressed by Eminem or any other rappers but the inside world of these American children according to Eminem and I’m thinking in the same way too. It’s a problem caused by not only one thing but all the bad things that are available for American children.

When I came to U.S. last year, I did a home-stay in the house of one of my mom’s classmate. They got two kids. Everyday, I saw them playing computer games full of violence which I thought are even too violent for me. Both of them are under 10 years old and to my surprise, their parents never cared about what they were playing. They are only children indeed that they even cried when watching the horror film. For them, violence means nothing. They drag the body of a man up and down until a release of it leads to a splash of blood and they finally laughed out. Will that memory influence their action in the future? Probably will and probably not, but one thing is for sure, they won’t be as frightened as a chinese children when they saw the same thing happens to a real man.

Although there are also many children in china who are interested in Eminem’s rap, we haven’t seen that many crimes commited by Chinese children as American children have commited. Take myself as a example. When I listen to the rap by Eminem, I only think that they are so aggressive and full of energy which can give me the incentive to work harder. They are just music and will never let me think of killing other people. Just like what Eminem said: “ parents think that if I ask the children to shoot themselves, they will definitely do that, but in fact, children are much cleverer than they thought.”

All in all, these are all not Eminem's fault. His childhood is also in the black area of Detroit where is full of crimes and violence. He once said: “ Could you imagine seeing a dead body with eyes opening widely on the way home? I swear to god I’ve seen it. In the following days, what I want is god bless me not to see it again.” Well, if Eminem’s rap let those children become a killer, then what Eminem experienced in his childhood shoud’ve let him become a killer too, but it didn’t, which means that whether the atmosphere influence a child does not depend on how pursuasive they are but the ability to defend the chidren themselves. The real problem that people should care about is how to establish a complete system to lead children to a right way of viewing violence and how to deal with them when such tragerdy like the childhood of Eminem inevitablly happened.
