When assessing clients a specific skill that I identify with is empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand and share feelings of others. To effectively display empathy requires certain characteristics. Some of the characteristics of empathy that I employ are; having the innate ability to put myself in the other people’s shoes.

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by my social environment and felt compelled to analyze the underlying facets of human communication. As opposed to readily advancing my own opinions, my nature has always been to observe, listen, and try to find solutions on a case-by-case basis. This interest in analyzing social interaction has not only helped me to understand others but is has also been an innate gift that I believe has assisted me in persevering through some of the most difficult personal challenges I have faced.

“From the shantytowns of Kingston, Jamaica, to the cobblestones streets of Great Britain, reggae music was a powerful and liberating voice for the poor and oppressed. In the last thirty years, reggae stars Bob Marley, Burning Spear, and Alpha Blondy have sung “redemption” songs- messages of human rights and universal love in a “Babylonian” world of civil unrest, political instability, and economic collapse”(Bays, King, and Foster, 2002, p. XI). Bob Marley was the most famous reggae artist to bring popularity upon the music; selling over 20 million records worldwide. His songs such as “One Love” and “Redemption Song” were inspired by the effects of oppression upon blacks in Jamaica. Marley's persona for unity and peace among people throughout the world was an inspiration for Jamaicans. Most blacks in Jamaica during the 1960s suffered from economic hardships and racial discrimination. This in turn marked the beginning of a religious movement called Rastafarinism where reggae music was an element that distinguished Rastafarians from the rest of society. According to Chang and Chen, British colonial authorities and the local establishment viewed Rastafarians; forthright espousal of black unity and pride, and their unconventional appearance and customs, as threats to the existing social order. (Chang, Chen, 1998. p.26) Reggae music allowed blacks to have pride of their culture and not limited themselves to the demeaning social orders in

The meaning of music is a broad spectrum that can be perceived to mean many things to those who listen. One thing music can be is a source of entertainment mixed with varied genres and lyrics to express symbolism, an example being reggae. Author Neil Savishinsky states that reggae is the source that allowed Rastafarianism, a religion that developed in Jamaica, to migrate its culture and beliefs beyond Jamaica and penetrate other parts of the world (pg 261). An iconic reggae artist that enforced the idea that music is symbolic is Bob Marley. Marley is a Rastafarian music icon that used reggae music for what it was back in the 1960s and 1970s: a form of protest. At an era where racially-driven riots, violence and rebellion were at an all time

Bob has a message in every song and just about every verse. His songs are very “poetic and powerful”. ‘Blowin in the Wind’ states it’s message within the first two verses. “ How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?’’, it talks about racial justice. “How many seas must a white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand?”, this symbolizes people looking for peace. He claims to have written ‘Blowin in the Wind’ in just 10 minutes to the melody of an old slave song. Before he perform the song he always said “ This here ain’t no protest song or anything like that, ‘ cause I don’t write no protest songs.” Bob’s version never hit the charts, the song became popular when the tri Peter, Paul and Mary performed it.

By 1979, the album Survival was a surprisingly huge success in Africa because Bob Marley composed tunes based on the subject of pan-African unity. In the year 1980, Marley’s album Uprising was released after the group had been invited by the government of Zimbabwe to be a part of the country’s independence day ceremony. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the same year Bob Marley performed his last show. His health deteriorated due to cancer spreading, and he had having to cancel the rest of the tour. Bob Marley finally passed away on May 11,

The paper discusses how Marley’s music changed society by mainstreaming the ideas of black resistance, social justice, racial equality, and anti-colonialism to the baby-boom generation and generations endlessly onward. The paper will outline the historical background of reggae as well as the social cause to which it became attached by the work of Marley. The paper submits that reggae, ultimately, became the chief means of expressing the angst and dislocation felt by many within the African Diaspora. Finally, the paper will offer a critical analysis of one of Marley’s works, “I Shot the Sheriff”, and will explain why this signature work is a classic instance of reggae speaking out against injustice and the prevailing power structure.
