I feel like books have a complete breakdown of personality. The author mentors the reader by giving insight of his perception to life and how the mind perceives it. Many developers often create a similarity to this and takes the most appealing into developing themselves as a human being.

Literature is capable of transforming civilizations—for better or worse. Western civilization (Europe, the Americas) owes its existence to one book—the Holy Bible. The impact of music is entirely different but nonetheless important. Music can be therapeutic; it’s a language that speaks the human soul. Music isn’t meant to be mere entertainment as it a significant component of religious worship, and what is worship but communion with God?

I love both listening to music and reading. My two favorite things actually, yet I think that the characters in the books that you read sway you to be like them, which is good because most protagonists are great people.

Both music and book can be used as a mean to express themselves. However, books allow you understand things. It allow us to learn more on how to deal with others and one's situation. With the stories that we encounter every time we read, we get to see the how other characters think. We learn to understand others and respect their beliefs, opinions and how they think.

That's what I think anyways.

A book has more of a revolutionary impact on a persons character and is also more explicit in its expression. A book shares his views and shows you how a person evolves and behaves and what it leads to etc the Characters are a direct identification with yourself.
Music gives influence on your feelings and can often be interpreted very differently. The music is more an expression of the person that you already are.

i believe that music can bring out negative thoughts and impure thoughts. books can too, but you aren't always surrounded by reading books. kids listen to music that sometimes match their moods. its not very healthy dwelling on the negative. there's no joy in that and it's just self centered.

I love both music and books, however, I would have to pick books as an answer in this case. Considering all the unintelligent remarks from most of the music commentators, I would say that music is more of a popular thing in today's society. Being a kid myself, I would have to say that yes, music is awesome and generates emotion and really makes me think, but what the airheads are answering on here is about pointless music that is "catchy" and "explicit". Nothing about those kinds of songs can be beneficial. A few catchy Facebook statuses, but nothing important. However, I listen to music (Heavy metal, rock, etc.) that actually has a message and a point. That would be the kind of music that I say is influential. It promotes a good message and still sounds good. However, not many people are open minded enough to listen to those genres of music. Which brings me back to my point about books. Sure, there are boring books, exciting books, great reads, and just plain ole "okay" books. I read books to escape reality. I also read certain genres, such as mystery, to see how intuitive I am to catching the bad guys. When I'm forced to read, it's mostly about a message that you have to realize will help in the end, or a biography. Either way, you're opening your mind to a vast majority of endless conclusions, and it keeps you wanting more until you finish reading the last page. It's really exciting to read, but not many people, especially teenagers my age, enjoy reading. That's because they're too busy listening to explicit music, working, dying their hair, texting, looking on Facebook, etc. What they don't know is that they're technically reading when they're "texting and looking on Facebook," so in all reality they "don't hate reading," or else their social life would be pretty boring. People just don't want to apply themselves to books and get hooked into reading. They think it's "nerdy" because popular opinion has influenced that idea onto them. So, books all the way.

I chose this answer because although I am a pretty fast reader, words I have read usually leave a more lasting imprint in my mind than listening to the words in a song. This is probably due to the fact that I am actually listening to the beat of the music more than the words in the song.

BOOKS RULE!
  • Anonymous . 3+ yrs. ago
Today more and more music are giving bad messages and using wrong language. Some children will sing along with that kind of music. The books that children are into today are stories that give hope, a good message, and inspiration. For example, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins really inspires kids and in my opinion one of the best books I have ever read. If that one book has been read and liked by millions then there has to be other books that they like that are some what similar. Those books don't influence kids to do the wrong things. Music can generate that much excitement but the message is not always good and children may follow it.

We learn from books, creating a better character than we may already possess. Music just creates an outlet for whatever emotions disturb us which somewhat just encourages them to continue, not building better character.

In my opinion, books give more information and are more likely to teach people in more ways then anything. Reading can give you ideas about the world and sometimes give you a better understanding of people and why they do what they do. Books can also influence kids to do more and, in my own opinion, build better character in them.

I guess it would depend on your selection of music and/or books. Personally, books open your mind to exploring the creativity of the things you could imagine. Music can be soothing, however, the wrong selection of music can encourage you to do things that are not exceptible in society today.
  • Anonymous . 3+ yrs. ago
Book is better instructor mainly because it's easy to understand at least literally. Music is abstract, you really can tell what exactly a piece of music want to express. Besides, most profound knowledge can only be found in books. Haven't you noticed thar the majority of music talk about silly love? Lyrics are too shallow and only aimed to be repeated easily.

Although I think it's a close call between the two, I believe reading is better for creating character. By reading literary classics and such, you gain knowledge that you can't find in music. It adds to your vocabulary and english/writing skills and promotes further understanding.

You hear music everyday. To music on commercials, when your on hold on the phone, or just listening to your favorite music turned up all the way on your headphones. Music influences the way we talk, think, and treat others. It can be a way to tune out reality or just chill out. Since artist can be role models (and not always good ones), if you listen to eminem, you will eventually start cussing and treating other in a I-don't-care way. But if you listen to artist like Lecrae, Britt Nicole, and Christina Grimme, artist that have positive messages and are swear-free you will treat others with repect and kindly. Music gives our minds and bodies expression and escape from reality into alternate worlds of pure positive feelings or expression of internal discord.

Everyone listens to music. Music surrounds our daily lives. Teens listen to different types of music when they feel emotions. Some music can make you happy, sad, loving, depressed, etc. Lots of people dance to music. I think music is better for creating character because it can produce such a wide range of emotion from the listener.
