People who read poetry, for example, like the feel, the heft and the smell of a book.
For example, the equivalent of a woman being treated as a sex object is a man being treated as a success object.
I would suggest that teachers show their students concrete examples of the negative effects of the actions that gangsta rappers glorify.
If you try to do that in pop music - to play only rare show tunes, for example - people don't come.

The fact that you are not perfect may come as a surprise to you but it is not a surprise to anyone else.
This is where the will to grapple with our hard and pressing environmental problems begins: in relationship to something other that you love beyond any utility, beyond any logic.
