Youth and art: violence through the art Rap Music as example by Souhail Arfaoui

Violence as a social phenomenon is defined as a field that can be studied in various fields. The sociological vision focuses on a problem that affects society for the artistic and violence is linked to the values and standards. Initially, life in society is based on the development of values and rules that must be respected, the class society youth who violate these common standards and values as deviant.

The individual goes through systems and social institutions that guarantee its socialization through which he internalizes the values and principles that influence its identity and personality and ensure their integration in society. Socialization begins with the family that instills behavior dictated by society, and internalization of the principles and values. The family is considered as the first socialization environment, it is a tiny social space that prepares the individual for the opening on the other medium in which the interactions with our fellow is established.
The young wanting assert his personality uses rap to declare his refusal and his escape from any family control in order to build their opinions and demands. Young opts for artistic violence that expresses their fed up of the political or social situation given.
For youth rap is the artistic tool to help them express themselves and help them share autonomous and specific values, it "constitutes a cosmos of specific and autonomous values".
This type of art appears as an ambivalent field of activities. The revolutionary nature of this type of music is the general power or other institutions. It reflects a hierarchy in the society's musical tastes are the socialization of products being by learning .The most with families in cultural capital consider art as a family well; school sanction and reinforce inequalities in judging students under the criterion of what they have acquired outside school. The Tunisian dialect used by youth to express their stand but also ensures proximity of all social classes. The singing rap using the Tunisian dialect referring to a language learned in childhood within the institution of the family proves that it is the lower class that uses this language as a tool not only singing but especially the affirmation of the existence of the "working" class.
