    The living conditions of slum-dwellers are way too miserable that it sounds like a long way away story or even a hypothetical scenario. It is hard to imagine what it is like to live in the slums without actually visiting and observing it. However, not everyone gets the opportunity to have this experience; and thus, the best replacement would be to read Katherine Boo’s Behind the Beautiful Forevers. Throughout her book, Boo proves that the poor blame each other for every problem and that the rich also blame the poor for the faults in their governments and the markets. She proves this by examining the daily problems that the slum-dwellers face: poverty, diseases and corruption.…

    Most who witnessed the sitting president of these United States, sing the spiritual hymn Amazing Grace at Mother Emanuel AME church in Charleston, SC, during his eulogy of falling spiritual warrior Rev. Clemmenta Picknecly would probably agree that it was overwhelming. It appeared to stir a feeling of connectively to all who sang along. Including, it is surmised, those around the world that identified with the words, reason and necessity for such a song at that moment in time. How ironic to sing a song, which was penned by a former white slaveholder, who turned abolitionist. And sing it in the state that was the lynchpin of the civil war.…

    Many would agree that murder is the most morally atrocious and impermissible thing that an autonomous being can commit. As well, many would agree that there is a certain moral obligation that everyone should have to their fellow man, and hence feel some obligation to help prevent the suffering of a fellow man if the opportunity presents itself. However, how far does that obligation stretch? Does it go beyond the bounds of only being morally responsible for the circumstances that you can see in front of you? Or are people in a way just as much responsible for all the suffering throughout the world that we have the capability to help prevent; such as the suffering of the global poor.…

    I have chosen the video for No Doubt's "Just a Girl" to show American attitudes of gender and sexism against women. Gwen Stefani sings about how women are stereotyped into little girls and coddled by society. The video shows the band (No Doubt) packing up their equipment and going to a gig. In the car, Gwen sings about how she knows "exactly where I stand. The world is forcing me to hold your hand" about not being allowed to live without being dependent on a man.…

    In J.Coles “She Knows” he uses a juvenile young man to demonstrate the life of a average suburban family and the struggles they go through. By looking at the the two scenes spoken about in this essay, we can see what exactly J.Cole means in his title “She Knows”, which most viewers don’t see; this is important because J.Cole changes the meaning of “She Knows” through the entire music video. The first important scene starts with the young man being dropped off by his mother and father on his way to school. This scene is significant because previously before the young man left the house he stole money from his parents and the young mans mother gazes at him in the car as if she knew what exactly he had done. The second important scene starts with…

    OutKast, a popular rap group throughout the nineties and early 2000s, has a renowned song entitled “Hey Ya!” which features the smooth flows of Andre 3000 and hard hitting rhymes of Big Boi. The song has been a huge hit for years and is virtually known by every American under the age of thirty. When the song was released in 2003, I was just three years old, but had already adopted my dad’s love for music and I frequented the kitchen tile as my dance floor whenever music was playing. OutKast’s song “Hey Ya!” holds a different weight than most other songs I grew up around because it is one of few memories I remember vividly about my childhood.…

    From paint spreading on a canvas, to bright lights shinning on a stage, women have equally shined in the limelight. When thinking lyrics that scream feminist, think Beyoncé; she has made it clear in all her songs that “girls run the world”, and should run this world. “We raise girls to see each other as competitors…Not for jobs or for accomplishments,….Which I think can be a good thing… But for the attention of men” directly out of her song called Flawless, Beyoncé shows how women are being brainwashed as kids, they don't even get to better them self’s, instead women do things for the attention of men.…
