Irish singer-songwriter and philanthropist Paul David Hewson, ubiquitously known by his stage name Bono, once said, “Music can change the world because it can change people.” Throughout the ages, the power of music has proven itself, in several instances, to be of exceptional influence.

After listening to the song, I can automatically tell what the message of the song is that Lennon is portraying, and that is world peace. Lennon does an amazing job establishing his credibility in this song, thus creating credibility within his audience, credibility is part of Ethos. Throughout his musical career right up until his death in 1980, Lennon was heavily involved in peace activities. During his musical career he was part of the world famous Beatles, and this gained him world fame and allowed for his messages to be heard across the world. Lennon created even more Ethos for himself in a controversial album, where he posed naked with his wife, Yoko Ono, in there bed. This showed his fan base and the world that he was truly devoted to peace and love. Without his famous involvement in the Beatles, Lennon would never have gained his spotlight in the world allowing for his messages of peace and love to be heard.

In Treatment’s Dr. Paul Weston appears to largely use psychodynamic theory during his sessions with Sophie, the teenaged gymnast who is seeing him after an accident which is believed to have been a potential suicide attempt.

There are several instances of this unique blend of techniques throughout Sophie’s episodes, as well as the continual theme of psychodynamics that seems to be Paul’s main practicing theory.

John Lennon’s song “Imagine” was released in October 1971. Imagine was the most successful single that Lennon produced and is perhaps the best song in music history for its strong message.

In the 1950s, Ellis grew dissatisfied with the effect of analytic forms of therapy since he discovered that his clients progressed as well when saw them bi-weekly, weekly, or daily. At that point, Ellis took a more active role counseling people with family or sex problems. Furthermore, Ellis discovered his clients seemed to progress more rapidly than when he used passive psychoanalytic procedures. By 1955, Ellis had abandoned psychoanalysis entirely with his clients.

Nowadays, unfortunately, some people are judging the other not based on their competencies but based on their social class, religion and race as he mentioned in his lyrics “Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too”. History proves him and gives a good example that most wars fought, had something to do with people’s religious and beliefs. John Lennon shows that people can exceed those types of discrimination if everyone practice tolerance. People also should live in the same social level, sharing and caring about each other and this will spread and give a world without wars or any conflicts, full of tolerance and peace. a world totally different than the one we are living
