Popular Music and Project

My project was on the West Side Lobsters and my group consisted of myself, Tyler, and Nick. A challenge that we faced was choosing the right pictures to fit the slides. Even though we were able to customize our flag and pick some very good photos, in the end we weren’t able to find the photos we originally intended to use. If I could change anything I think I would have changed my attitude about the whole project. I wasn’t acting very serious when we were doing the project. I also think this reflected on our grade. I also would have taken a bigger part in this project. I only made 3 slides and was assigned to make sure there were no grammical errors and I think I could’ve handled a bigger part in the project. What I really learned from this project is If you don’t act a certain way around your group mates they will assign you a stupid part. I also learned the importants of writing down the password to your email. Write it everywhere. My favorite part of this project was writing our national anthem. I loved how we were able to adapt our anthem to a modern and popular song. This made it easier to find a beat to say our anthem to. I liked how we received jolly ranchers for singing our national anthem in front of the class. It was well worth the embarrassment. My least favorite part of this project was when I couldn’t get my email to work because I didn’t know my password. This is the only negative thing I could think of while doing this project. Doing the actual project was very fun and I have no complaints. Honestly I loved doing this project. I loved presenting in front of the class, working in small groups picked randomly, and most of all I liked working in the air conditioned computer lab on hot days. Over all this was a great project and I hope we can do another project like it in the future.

Some listen to music to relax in which it serves as a sort of escape from everyday life, some because they are a fan and follow a certain artist, and others because they can relate the lyrics to their own personal experiences. Whichever the case may be, music has and continues to serve an important role in people’s lives.…

    The connection between politics and music can sometimes be rather discreet, and a lot of songwriters today include many messages in their song lyrics which would appear subliminal until analysed. Political issues are expressed in music and I believe this is because music is one of the most effective ways to reach out to people, as not everyone watches the news or picks up a newspaper. Because popular musicians have such a large fan base and a strong influential impact on their fans, it would work effectively to openly promote and support political candidates as well as particular causes, or write their music in order to rebel against them. A great example of this is the song 'if I was president' by Wycliffe jean, this song was inspired by conspiracy theory, because it was believed that unnecessary amounts of money has been spent on the war and the president just sits back and looks at what is happening, Wycliffe believes that every time somebody comes along to try and present the truth, they'd be ‘assassinated’. He wrote this song and put himself in the president's position, believing that he himself would be assassinated the same as martin Luther King and John F Kennedy did. Wycliffe believes that the 'children' should be told the truth, and everyone should strive to be the president. In 2008, will I am produced two video's which were made in order to make America support the work of Barrack Obama. The song 'we are the ones' features people from different walks of life explaining what they would like to change about the earth. One example is 'I think it's time to change, I want a better future for my children' after each person gives an opinion. All of the people featured in the video recite Obama's name. This video and the video 'yes we can' became very popular with over 28 million views between them. ‘Will.i.am didn't set out to make history. In fact, says the Black Eyed Peas front man, he's not even…

    Do the numbers 3828 (US Fatalities by Month) and 47378 (R. Smith) mean anything to you? How about $502 billion and $536 billion (in today 's dollar) (Wolf)? They should, these are the number of U.S deaths and the costs of the war in Iraq and the Vietnam War. "Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die!" was once said by Herbert Hoover (Simoni). War though some people may not like to admit it, has shaped the United States into what we are today. War always seems to bring out the patriotic side of people, whether it is in the form of protest, free speech or by expressing their feelings and thoughts through songs.…
