Rave Culture is relationship between music, ceremony and spirituality. Fondness for distant societies is in fact an explicit feature of rave discourse. A governing ideology of rave culture is to 'lose themselves' in the music and mood. This way they seek to lose their mundane individual identity to form a fantasy-based and technologically enhanced identity and become subsumed into the mass identity of the crowd. Throughout each society on earth, there are many different cultures, lifestyles, and traditions. When raving first became popular, it was an entirely different and strange thing that no one else had seen before. Beginning as an underground movement in Europe raves have evolved into a highly organised, commercialised, world-wide party culture. Money is flowing in India like crazy, never before the youth ever had so much money in hand. Rave parties would often have grown up kids of rich industrialists, IT sector employees, beautiful girls, models, air-hostesses and other people for whom money is not an important factor. The post-modern approach views the rave as a culture of abandonment, disengagement and disappearance. Post-modernism is typified by the disappearance of the subject. Rave culture is geared towards fascination rather than meaning, sensation rather than sensibility; creating an appetite for impossible states of hyper-simulation.

Every criminal is entitled to due process of the law and this fact forms the cornerstone of any civilised judicial system. In India there is a spate of lynching in recent times. How do we interpret this new form of justice system in present context? Have the people lost their faith in the police completely to indulge in wanton acts of vigilante justice? Or is it that under particular regime tenure, people become more confident and daring! Daredevil acts are done by the coward on behalf of the local community. Mob psychology shows that individuals tend to behave in a different manner as part of a group in contrast to acting independently. Individuals in a group defer their goals and take upon the identity of the group. Therefore, members of a group are likely to commit acts they would never commit alone. An incident of mob justice, in addition to being a shocking indicator of the psychological mindset of a society also suggests a failed justice delivery mechanism. If instant justice is meted out to an offender then is the punishment just in degree for a crime? Humans use threats and violence to dominate, and also resort to cheating, deceit or negotiation to obtain status and valued resources. Moreover impulsive violent behaviours are frequently labelled emotional violence and are linked with emotions such as anger and fear. The common man, the politician, the police, the judiciary and the media if work together the barbaric tradition of mob justice in modern times can be nipped in the bud.

Research indicates that media violence has not just increased in quantity; it has also become much more graphic, much more sexual, and much more sadistic. Media reports of crime clearly influence general perception, a more serious problem is the way in which the media covers specific crimes and specific individuals who are suspected of committing those crimes.This book looks at the impact of violence vice versa media from different perspective and tries to enlighten the reader on the issue. Violence has existed in all ages but it is now that a child finds it, its constant companion in the form of TV images.
