Countering the Negative Influence of Pop Culture on Young Women

Many young people today take their cues from pop culture and engage in detrimental behavior. Residential treatment centers and behavioral therapy can help some improve their behavior and attitudes.

Many people argue that pop culture has had a detrimental influence on American society, and particularly on young people. Young men and young women today seem to act more outrageously than they ever have. They seem to get into more trouble than ever before. They seem to disrespect authority figures like parents, teachers, coaches, school administrators and law enforcement more, and engage in more harmful activities than they used to, including sex, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and using drugs. With “role models” like Miley Cyrus dressing and acting inappropriately, it concerns many parents that their warnings and rules fall on deaf ears. Many young women today make poor decisions in school, outside of school and in life in general, heading down a path that will likely lead to trouble. To address troubling behavior, many families have used the services of residential treatment centers (RTCs) like the Integrity House Utah facility in Cedar City, Utah to try and get their daughters to change their ways.

The staff of counselors, educators and therapists at the Integrity House RTC has had success in helping numerous young ladies change their behavior for the better, but still constantly looks to improve itself. The team at Integrity House reviews methods and practices across the field of behavioral therapy, looking for ways to help its clients achieve the best possible results.

The Integrity House team incorporates a holistic approach to treatment, and looks to help each young woman improve herself in all phases of her life, such as her mental being, her physical being and her spiritual being. The team helps young women become better people overall.
