More Information
Summary:This 25-page "Action Guide" is accompanied by a compact disk that presents sound bites from contemporary rock musicians about their experiences with violence and rage. This interview material is followed by current popular hit songs by Lauryn Hill, Dave Matthews Band, Everclear, Backstreet Boys, Alanis Morissette, and Tori Amos. Many musicians state how music and writing have given them alternative ways to deal with their feelings of rage. The Action Guide includes facts about violence and gives five ways adolescents can help take a stand against violence. These include using conflict resolution, mentoring or finding a role model, using artistic responses to violence, participating in youth crime watch, and advocating against acts of violence. (Contains 36 Web site resources.) (JDM)
