    The social and political system in the United States of America unquestionably revolves around white supremacy and misogyny. Many pop culture icons have attempted to make a change, but none have seemed to have done it quite like Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. The pop icon released her album, Lemonade, in April of 2016, which lyrically and visually shows themes of different social issues such as racism and the treatment of women. Beyoncé combines the two together and explicitly discusses the injustices faced among African-American women, which can be heard and seen in the visuals during songs like “Don’t Hurt Yourself” and “Freedom”. Beyoncé takes her personal life, expands it, and leads it into the illustration of the struggle black women face across the United States.…

    To begin, I would like to state that I love and prefer Big Mama Thornton’s version of “Hound Dog” over Elvis Presley’s cover. The forms are not the same when comparing both of the songs. In Thornton’s version it has a slow, sultry, and soulful form and or a moderate tempo to it while with Elvis it felt like he hit the gas pedal making the song move 100 miles per hour. With Elvis making the song faster and more of a rock and roll type of song it lost the soul that the original writer had for the long. This can be seen in the lyrics as well in Thornton version, she sings, "Well they said you was high class, I can see through that.…

    For this first section I chose to write about the Lil Wayne and Whitney Houston record reviews. Very different music styles and both popular during different time periods and fan favorites of very different groups of listeners. Lil Wayne’s album reviewer, Camp, reviewed his 2013 hit album“ I Am Not A Human Being II”. Ann Power’s reviewed Whitney Houston’s 2009 album “I Look To You”. Both writers have very different writing styles and since these artist are very different I thought these two would be a good choice, along with the fact that I do not think I have heard a Solange Knowles “hit” before.…

    “Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it” is a quote by British naturalist and politician, John Lubbock. I strongly agree with his quote for several reasons. I believe Lubbock’s meaning behind his quote is that no person can allow society to determine the mental characteristics he or she contains. In all seven billion people in the world, not a single one of them carries the same characteristics as any other person. If society is in control of how we act then it is impossible for us to be the way we are meant to be.…

    In Beyoncé performances and lyrics on stage, she always makes a visual and speaks on how it's important to be an individual, your own independent person that is powerful. Although, if women were to be more prominent in the world, life, family and work priories will crash fiercely. As long as women are bearing the children in our species, women will not view child rearing and child care in the same way as men do, and will prioritize the responsibilities around it differently. Beyoncé sings in harmony about how women run the world, but why don't we actually run it, women are capable of so many astonishing accomplishments, but they're all hidden by the shadow of a man. Women deserve to be prominent in the world we now live if it’s what they desire for; it shouldn’t be that hard to treat women…
