Hip Hop is now: an evolving youth culture. Carl Taylor, and Virgil Taylor.
Reclaiming Children and Youth 15.4 (Wntr 2007): p210(4).
COPYRIGHT 2007 Reclaiming Children and Youth
Emerging from Rap music, Hip Hop has become a lifestyle to many modern youth around the world. Embodying both creativity and controversy, Hip Hop mirrors the values, violence, and hypocrisy of modern culture. The authors dispel some of the simplistic views that surround this evolving youth movement embraced by millions of young people who are struggling to find meaning in communities that too often lack hope and pathways to purpose.
**********
Recently during a focus group interaction, a young college woman was asked what Hip Hop was. This young neatly dressed, articulate student thought for a moment before responding in a way that was very matter of fact. "Hip Hop is now; it's in your face, and it's real and honest." When asked what separated herself and her peers from adult culture she pondered for a moment and then responded, "We're not all that different from older adults except that ya'll were punks and we're not." Punks! The adults in the discussion did not like being referred to as punks but managed to contain their composure in order to try to understand the meaning behind this young woman's words.
Hip Hop, the latest form of youthful expression by thousands of young people around the world, has evolved over the last twenty years. Once exclusively related to rap music, this form of expression has now become a lifestyle. The influence of Hip Hop can be seen in fashion, electronic design, auto design, movies, music, literary works, and hundreds of other mediums in every facet of modern society.
The idea that older adults are "punks" revolves around the belief that adult culture is hypocritical, that older adults did the same things that young people do now but were afraid to admit their indiscretions. Compounding the problem is the fact that indiscretions committed by adults, not only in the past but also including current sins, are routinely focused on in the news and in historic accounts of individuals' pasts. Hip Hop is a vast and varied collection of ideas and values that are continuously fueled by new truths as well as misinformation and lies, rhetoric, and ever changing ideology and concepts that are relayed in the varying forms of Hip Hop music.

What's real on the internet has good publicity. You will get get positive feedback from the source, and no negative feedback.
On the internet i think that you know whats true and whats not true if you look at who it was put on the internet by. Also, the links can also determine if the site is true or not. Briana Miller, Diamond Weems.
how do you know whats true on the internet or whats not?...
You really dont know whats real on the internet most of the time. on social websites like facebook or myspace, there is no telling. There are alot o other sites that arent real, like wikepidea. People can change things on there so most of the time the website isnt always a hundrent percent accurate.

i believe that if its on wikipedia it is real everything on the internet is real if it wasnt it wouldnt be on the internet am i right or am i wrong from (daquann)
Well i believe half the stuff on the internet is true but mostly some of the stuff on the internet is not true. But i google most of my stuff but to really say i dont know if something true or not on the internet, to me i thought that the internet don't lie especially when your looking up something.
Using the internet you can have facts and fictional. Everything isnt real and some is real. By you can look for information and use resources, or you can use research. But sometimes its not real because its alot of technology that people can edited or change. Meaning its all made up and fictional.

I think everything on the internet is fictional, personally. first of all to figure it out you would have to pull up more sorces. if you see something on another website, just keep checkin on other websites to see if there is one or more sorces.
HEEYYY!!!!!!
I dont feel that you can really determine weather or not something is real on the internet because it's full of lies and scames.....
I feel that some things on the internet is false when you can edit it or when the website is not accurate. -chaunte
