Leigh, sounds like you are actually agreeing with me, as you are
discussing how loud the music is played which is definitely "how it is
used" and does not have to do with the music itself.
As for sports, all kinds of counter examples can be given. It is
known that girls who play sports in high school are more likely to
finish high school and go to college (for academic reasons, not sports
reasons) and are less likely to get pregnant in high school than those
who don't. And we still have to call out Title IX sometimes (in the
US) to maintain women's teams at all levels! It is often the
money-making use of sports that is counter productive. But, I still
hope the WNBA can get make a go of it. For some of us, it has been a
long time coming.
Lastly, for whoever commented on the use of music in class, I only
use it because the words are relevant to the topic, not to enforce a
type of music (I wouldn't ever do that). I even preface it with, this
may not be your kind of music, but I would like you to pay attention
to the words (which I put on the overhead).
