The song “Kote” which literally means ‘a policeman’ is basically about men who cheat on their wives and how the police must treat them. With lines like Koti mepa wo kyɛw bo me kunu no ma me ei sika a yɛbɛdi no, ɔde akɔ ma ne mpena , Tripple M is basically asking the policeman to beat the husband because he has gone to give the little house keeping money to his girlfriend. To intensify the hatred for such men, Triple M ask the policeman to slap the husband very hard because he has made their lives miserable. I find this song really interesting because considering the time it was released, cheating on wives was no “big deal”. As a result, there was gross marital infidelity on the parts of men. No wonder this song became a hit as women especially those in these situations found their voices in the song.
The hit song “16 years” by Mzbel also addresses violence against women particularly girls underage. Posing as a 16 year old girl, Mzbel warns men who only want to mess around with teenagers to stay away from her. This is captured in the line; “I be 16 years, I go dey be like this o, if u touch my thing o, I go tell mummy o” (I am 16

One can actually see evidence of mysoandry (which is the hatred for men) in this song. Choosing a title as fake London boy instead of Fake London Guy or Young man shows how she demeans the opposite sex. Lines like “See yourself and your shoe wey u dey for the queue, you dey talk talk plenty but nothing is true”, also looks liking a way of dissing guys. As the song became popularised the words in the song especially the title, “Fake London Boy” gained a practical usage. On the average this song was able to communicate its intended message to the targeted
Many people think that the poem A Song, by Helen Maria Williams, is just a love letter when, in fact, it is more of an expression of her relationship with her inspiration of writing.
The song also has verses detailing the contemporary Manchester LGBT community. Morrissey is perhaps one of the most infamous Queers of history, due to his famed skirting of his bisexuality, but clearly voices his opinions during the song. This is detailed during the interlude:
In the film "Lean on Me", Joe Clark, a fictional version of the real Mr. Clark who was the principal at an inner-city high school in Paterson, New Jersey, is the ultimate example of an authoritarian leader. In the movie, Clark approaches his job at a decaying academic setting with single-minded goals: to clean up the school, physically and academically, in order to help the students who have potential to graduate and to get rid of the ones who are destined to fail, according to his perceptions. Clark 's leadership style has been both widely praised as successful and a model for similar such schools, and has also been criticized for its bullying tactics. This paper will discuss Clark 's methods of leadership, his style and tactics as

While reading page nine through fifteen in the Wake Tech English 111 Reader I learned new strategies and tips on how to improve my song summary essay. I learned how to implement new strategies in my song summary essay so that I could write my introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion proficiently in my paper. Mutually, before reading the Wake Tech English 111 Reader I also did not know that when writing a rough draft for an essay a conclusion, introduction or body paragraph could be written first. Similarly, Ashley I always thought that an introduction had to be written before any other part of an academic essay. Primarily, I thought that an introduction had to be written first because my previous English teachers stressed
In this song, the author puts heavy emphasis on the pathos of his claims. A notable example is found in the beginning when the author says “on the other side of a street a knew/Stood a girl that looked like you” this is an effective use of pathos because it lets the audience know that the author has had this woman on his mind for so long that he begins the way see her everywhere. This in a way contributes to his ethos because it shows that he is being sincere. This effectively reaches “us” as the audience because it appeals to the emotional side of the argument by letting us know that he does care about this
II Volvo’s “Painfully Beautiful” is a song that exemplifies the tension and battling relationship that exists between Abigail Williams and John Proctor. Lyrics such as “You walk by on the street, Take my breath from me, You’re out of my reach, You’re all that I see,” shows how Abigail feels at the end of her relationship with Proctor, when he pushes her away when she clearly still has feelings for him. These lyrics are thoughts that Abigail has about John, however, he does not feel the same way. With the lines, “You walk by on the street, Take my breath from me,” the connection created is that John Proctor “takes Abigail’s breath away” because of their past relationship and how much she misses him. Abigail sees Proctor frequently, but not with her, causing some
When using the song “Cortez the Killer” as a source on the European Conquistadors, a historian should consider what type of source it is, its creation date, the author’s origins, and how the Conquistadors are portrayed. A historian should consider these things because they might have an effect on the credibility of the source and the type of information they can give, which refers to things such as perspective. Firstly, the song “Cortez the Killer” is a secondary source written by Neil Young in 1975. A book by Neil’s brother, Scott Young, informs us that Neil had no connection to the Aztecs or Spanish. The song is a secondary source because it was written in 1975, well after the encounter between Montezuma and Cortez. This would tell a historian
The song "The message" by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five depicts the struggle of young black adults growing up in society. The struggle to make it out of poverty can be compared to survival of the fittest in a jungle. Only the strong would survive and adapt to the changes to fit in. Trying their best to make a betterment with whatever little society offers. Being a young black African American in the early 1980's was not easy. It was easier to live the fast life and gain fast money by being part of the drug community. Drugs, guns, and money was glamorized and this is what the young adults looked at as a means of getting rich. In the songs, a young man talks about how he is trying hard to hold on to the little bit of sanity he has left in his soul. He talks about the struggle he endures while trying not to get pushed over the edge. He was born an innocent child who's blind to the ways of mind kind. Growing up he faced many challenges and had to fight

‘No matter gay, straight, or bi, I was born to survive’. In the words of lady GaGa herself it doesn’t matter who you marry, what your gender is or what’s you race you just need to accept others and yourself. Lady GaGa’s song ‘Born this Way’ informs others about self-acceptance in her new album ‘Born this way’. This song is about people abusing others and reflecting badly on them self because of their race, gender and choice in who they marry. Lady GaGa expresses her thoughts about people’s issues to say it doesn’t matter who you are because you were born that way.
The song “Where Is The Love” by the Black Eyed Peas is a very heartfelt prayer for the healing and suffering in the world and society that we live in. I feel like the song is about exactly what the title is asking. Where is the love? Sometimes we have to stop, look around us and think about the relationships we have with other people. Are our relationships built on foundations of true love, compassion and kindness? Although the songs was originally released in 2003, most of the issues the song focuses on are still relevant today, in 2017. Which really makes me wonder, where IS the love? Surely after 14 years, things would have changed. Hate and war have existed since the beginning of humanity. Crime is an enormous part of our society, in the past and in the present. Imagine a world that is crime free, the perfect utopia. A world where everyone accepts their neighbour for the person they truly are, without racism, without judgement, without oppression. “Where is the love?” recognizes chaos in a broken world, intoxicated with violence and hate.
In 1984, an iconic song was created by two sensational artists Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. A song they created inspired millions, originally created for people of Africa during the time of a horrific famine, was later recreated for the earthquake of Haiti. And for many years our world has been through so much trauma, trauma such as diseases, shootings, and devastating natural disasters. That song we know as “We Are The World” created such an inspiring notion that sparks to change our perspective of the world, how it is ours the children like Jackson said’ “ We are the world, we are the children” meaning we are all connected and the lyrics of this song represents that.
