Alecia Moore vs. Katy Perry These two strong women are making a big difference in the world by expressing their power through music. They also are both unique when it comes to sharing their views of the world. Alecia and Katy are very much alike but also so very different. They send extraordinary messages to all the women of the world; they are role models to all the female species. Inspiration, confidence, and girl power are the things these women bring out with the songs they produce. Women are always lacking in self-confidence these two give that back to every girl around the world. Their passion and creativity in the way they show the true definition of feminism and yet they both do it in completely different ways through their music and …show more content…
Alecia gave a speech after winning an award and in her speech, she stated that her daughter is ashamed for looking like a boy. She then begins to tell her daughter to never be ashamed of who you are in front of an audience and on live television. Just that speech to her young one showed me that everyone is beautiful in their own way. Pink has always been degraded for how masculine she is and she chooses to embrace it which makes her songs so much more uplifting. She sends such moving messages to girls about being confident in your own skin while showing off all the muscle she has. Katy Perry is known for being a Barbie and very girly. She was always picked on for being too feminine but with a little confidence she has come a long way. Now she is the definition of beauty and she is using her story to help other girls find their way. These women are picked on for being too masculine and too feminine and now they are both showing that confidence is …show more content…
They create such well-built music about finding yourself and having faith. These two show true beauty in such unique ways as individuals. Just look at some of their music and you will understand how these women are so much alike but show their personalities in different ways. They are leaders and role models especially when it comes to realizing your true beauty. Just by listening to their music they are showing you that with the words we all are looking for. Katy and Alecia prove that we don’t need acceptance just a little

    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.…

    I agree quite strongly with Hemingway that age brings increasing difficulty in finding heroes, but that one still needs them. As skepticism increases, the number of people one can admire or hope to emulate decreases. An older person, having more experience and having acquired, one hopes, a more objective and realistic assessment of other people, tends to see more flaws than a younger person might. On the other hand, the older person is likely to recognize and value certain qualities such as careful reasoning, empathy, and kindness that a younger person might overlook or consider irrelevant. (Yet another problem is that a person's heroes tend to be older than herself, and the number of possibilities dwindles, but that has to be accepted!)…

    Lana Del Rey is known to have both a powerful and calming tone when she sings. In the “Born to Die” video, however, her soothing voice is filled with sadness and heartbreak as she and her boyfriend have their share of misery. Throughout the video, Del Rey shows a saddened tone, repetitive imagery and lighting, either being light or dark. Dark imagery and lighting suggest that her and her boyfriend are in a unstable relationship, while white imagery and lighting suggest that she is finally at peace, with him being out of the picture. From the tone, Del Rey makes it apparent that she knows that they are not going to last very long and tries to live her life to the fullest, unfortunately still miserable in the end.…

    In a world full of critics, stereotypes, and sexists, women have struggled for many centuries in the depths of a dark cavern that has deprived them from freely being whom they are. However, similar to Shakur’s “ Rose that grew from the concrete”, women have recently blossomed in a compressed environment cracking open all the oppressions that kept them in the dark. The roots of these unique roses have been extended through the worlds of the arts, the fields of sports, the labs of science, and the innovations of technology defying any challenges.…

    “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.…

    Flawless Beyonce Analysis

    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…
