Music Review - Good People by Jack Johnson

A song that I really like is Good People by Jack Johnson. I like this song because it is very relaxing but also has a strong message behind it. Good People is about how there is so much misery in the world today. In the song, Jack tells us about television and why it is bad for society. A few of the things that come to mind when I think of television being bad are news stations and stations that show "children's" shows. The News almost always focuses on the negative parts of society such s natural disasters, people gettng killed/raped, and other sources of misery. This can lead to more people killing and hurting others trying to be worse than the previous stories. Other things that are bad about television are stations that show "children's" shows mainly Disney Channel. Kids are new in the world and don't know a whole lot so they learn by observing things around them. By watching shows such as Good Luck Charlie, Jessie, or A.N.T. Farm they are learning that it is good and funny to not listen to your parents, get in trouble, and not do well in school. Unless they have parents that tell them otherwise, kids can carry these ideas into adulthood and then they cn commit crimes and hurt others and not think anything of it. In order for there to be more good people in the world, there have to be good adults setting good examples for children.
