Música y ética a estudio

Resum

Does music nowadays reflect laid-back broadcasting regulations that may result in ethical values of young people being compromised? Do minors deserve protection against inappropriate music content? Obviously, there must be a connection between music and ethics given the current audiovisual protection schemes, so why is music not regulated under a general age rating system? Ethics research on the music industry is therefore needed given the significant amount of content being air-played under no age rating system in countries like Spain where music in a foreign language does not comply with age protection slots. The aim of this study is to analyse the connection between the lack of music regulations and possible impact on the values of young people. As to measure different variables, a questionnaire based on the Likert scale was conducted amongst 32 students aged 18-22 from two professional training educational centres. The method to analyse and classify results was the structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS) which revealed the strong connection with the variables.
