Psychology explains how and why people do the things they do; why people feel the way they feel; and how people think and reason. We rely on the people that are around us the most to help determine our actions. Most of us lean on our family for support and guidance to help persuade us to make the right decisions. Not only do we rely on the opinions and beliefs of our loved ones, but also we all rely on our religious beliefs when making decisions.

Music and different types of genres are important to many people. Some people are so passionate about music because music is an avenue when going through life’s difficulties. In unfortunate cases, young adults turn to the streets and gangs for acceptance because, they believe no one really cares for them, when looking for that care, the streets are readily available and welcoming.
