The world view, relationships, is conveyed many times in each of the literary texts by relating back to certain events that Aboriginal elders faced. Three texts that clearly represent the world view relationships are,; Change the Game, by the Colli Crew; Treaty, by Yothu Yindi and Took the Children Away, by Archie Roach. The Colli Crew’s song, Change the Game, is about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people- mostly describing the people of the past; in the text, it states that they are singing from north Queensland near the border.…

    The music industry is a major media institution that is widely influential in the way that people perceive their surroundings and how they experience discrimination and oppression within society. Popular media, such as music, acts as a catalyst for social construction (Glantz 3). Whether by way of radio, MP3 downloads, or music videos, people throughout the country, and all over the world are exposed to dominant ideologies through music that shape their thoughts and behaviors. One specific genre of music that is guilty of discriminatory and oppressive messages, yet might be slightly unexpected, is country music. “Country music is often labeled conservative, which makes it seem innocent and wholesome” (Rogers).…

She talks about how when she’s with her lover, a white woman she is able to forget the discrimination that she faces not only from white straight people, but also from the black and queer communities, and even her own family.

    In Same Love, Macklemore confronts the audience within his first spit through the elaboration of his opinion claiming that his uncles were gay, noting that their unity, being unidentified by the law was a flaw in American society. “America the brave still fears...” fortifies his belief in the weak and incompetent legal system through the intertextual reference to the American national anthem ‘The Star-Spangled Banner,’ depicting irony through the juxtaposition, conjecturing the flaw as salient, motivating societal transition to a progressive America, ultimately influencing the global outlook. In a similar manner, “Have you read the YouTube comments lately? ‘Man, that's gay’ Gets dropped on the daily,” helps elucidate society’s desensitized nature and disregard towards homosexuals, aided by the rhetorical question to create profound contemplation amongst…
