Research in psychology has shown that exposure to violent video games can desensitize children to violence, potentially making them more callous toward such acts. Similarly, exposure to vulgar language in music, particularly in diss tracks, can influence how people think and interact. For example, it’s increasingly common to see children as young as 7 or 8 using cuss words on playgrounds when adults aren’t around, indicating that they may be becoming desensitized to such language. This desensitization could lead to a broader acceptance and normalization of inappropriate language, including racial slurs, and could even justify the spreading of hate against individuals or communities. Instances of pop stars or rappers using xenophobic or misogynistic language in their lyrics are not uncommon, especially in modern rap music, where objectifying women or disparaging others is sometimes prevalent. While rap has culturally and historically significant roots, recent trends in “rap-inspired” music often diverge from those origins. It’s safe to conclude that vulgar language in music not only normalizes the use of slurs and cuss words among both adults and children but also, in some cases, serves as a vehicle for spreading hatred.

To write a poem that resonates with others, begin by ensuring it resonates with you. The key is to write for yourself rather than for external validation. Focus on expressing raw, genuine emotions, as they are your most powerful asset in crafting a compelling poem. When your words reflect your true feelings and beliefs, you’re already halfway there. It’s also beneficial to read widely and deeply on the topics you care about, as this enriches your writing. Avoid writing with the sole intention of pleasing others; instead, aim to create something that you can be proud of. Additionally, mastering literary devices like metaphors and analogies can elevate your work. The ability to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary through intricate wordplay can leave a lasting impact on your readers. Developing these skills comes with practice and exposure, so immerse yourself in reading to enhance your poetic craft.

A lot of times, we fail to appreciate the intricacies of our own identities. Being a woman has influenced my life in countless ways, both big and small, so much so that it’s easy to lose track of them as they play in the background. Since childhood, being a girl has shaped what I like, how I talk, what I play, how I dress. While I’d like to believe that I’ve resisted society’s prejudices and didn’t conform to them, I can’t say that with complete honesty. Even when I was “fighting” societal expectations, I was often just falling into another box that had been created for me. Yet, none of these experiences have made me resent being a woman. Instead, they’ve only strengthened my desire to be a stronger one.
In some ways, being a girl and taking on my house’s “feminine” duties has kept me connected to my roots. I know a lot about my culture that I might not have learned otherwise. Growing up, I was surrounded by strong women who were tough but not blunt, a perfect blend of rigidity and kindness, and that has shaped who I am to a great extent. Being a woman has made me realize that life isn’t always fair to us, but it has also taught me never to internalize this unfairness. I strive to do my best while being kind to the little girls around me, so they don’t grow up hating pink out of fear of being perceived as “too girly.”
