ARE WE REALLY SINNERS
I often hear “ He sings like a girl” or “ He looks like a 12 year old” when the words Justin Bieber come out my mouth. Immediately people start ranting against him with so much disgust like if they were deeply hurt by something insanely wrong he might of done. Justin Bieber is a boy who started of from YouTube by posting videos of himself which lead for his manager Scooter Braun to discover him. Many people judge a book by its cover instead of listening or looking. Justin Bieber’s music is mainly about falling in love with no limits. There is one song in particular that is just simply amazing. A girl may fall in love with the lyrics which then causes a horrifying disease that is really contagious called Bieber Fever.

“ Am I a sinner, cause half my dinner is still over my plate “ and “ children are crying, soldiers are dieing, some people don’t have a home ” are part of the lyrics from the song “PRAY” by Justin Bieber. (Bieber) When listeners hear and pay attention to the lyrics they think twice about what is really going on in the world that revolves around us; Imagining this world finally coming together as one in peace and no more wars.

“Pray” was leaked by a hacker on YouTube before it debuted on iTunes. Many people go to hear the song way before others did including Justin Bieber ,which made him upset. He was deciding whether to include the new inspiring song on the album and im glad he made a good decicion of including it. Once on iTunes the song was on the top 10 for weeks. November 26, 2010 , Black Friday , “My World Acoustics” album which had the song “Pray” was released and immediately sold out. Countless girl Beliebers certainly found the cd under their Christmas tree and started screaming like the world was about to end. “Pray” is not a typical romantic song that 13 year old girls listen to when they are in love or a song that

    Atonement and Redemption, the Cure to Sin (Kite Runner)

    Sin will always be part of humanity, but the atonement of those sins is what matters in the end. What changes is the severity of the sin and the lengths one has to go in order to atone for those sins and redeem one’s self. In Hosseini’s novel, The Kite Runner, guilt, atonement of sins and redemption all show that no matter what a person’s sin may be, he or she will always be able to atone for that sin and find redemption. Amir’s sins are far worse than anything most people will ever go through, yet he is able to atone for his sins, let go of his guilt thus, finding redemption.…

    american idiot

    The song starts by basically talking about how America is now a nation where media controls the way people think, in which, Americans are subc being brainwashed. This so by providing hysterical information about the war as well as using propaganda. Although the writer believes that the media is nothing but a biased propaganda, he feels that it’s not only the media that is causing people to become brainwashed. He feels that it’s the people themselves that are the reason why we’re so easily convinced. We believe and rely on everything that the media says, which often causes people to become someone who they’re not. This is killing individuality in America. The writer views individuality as a positive thing, so he says, “We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow” in order to promote and embrace individuality.…

    Song Analysis - American Soldier

    This song portrays how we as Americans should represent our country, soldiers or not. We should be proud to be Americans and represent our country in the best possible way. It also shows that we should be there for each other, to stand beside each other and to do what is right. If only all Americans could have the bond for each other that our soldiers have, we would be a much better country. They fight beside each as brothers and sisters for our country and protect our rights.…

    As I eat breakfast at the kitchen table, I think about veterans and their families, being separated by millions of miles, never getting to enjoy a family meal together. I take a sip of my orange juice and ponder what it would be like without my family, never knowing if they are okay or what they have been up to. On this day, I don’t just think about myself I think about the lives of others. When I arrive at school and I embrace my parents and head off to my class, I wonder what it would be like not getting to experience this for weeks, months, and years at a time. I walk into the front doors of the school and turn around to glance at my parents through the car windows as they drive away. I think about the children having to witness this moment when their parents drive away, not just to go to work and live a normal life. They are going off into the unknown to fight in several wars. Then I think about this situation from the parent’s point of view, leaving their children behind to go fight in war to protect their country. Not knowing if they will ever get to come home again to their children’s smiling faces, to hear about their day at school or help them with their…

    Pop Songs Essay

    There are many topics out there that seem to appeal to the ears of the music industry. A popular approach is to objectify women by comparing them to animals or anything that is worth less of them. This approach is extremely popular, since it is adding to the long, long list of ways society is still oppressing women in the 21st century. While you are at it, you can focus on singing about either a woman’s chest or butt or maybe including both will land you a higher spot in the music charts. As your song becomes a top hit, sooner or later, you’ll hear a 14 year old boy singing about women’s body parts, and parents will praise the music industry for exposing young children to content that sexualizes the female body.…

    Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) In Veterans

    Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) In Veterans

    "Our Lonely Society Makes It Hard to Come Home from War." TED Talk. Nov. 2015. Web. 31 Mar. 2017. Sebastian Junger, in the speech “Our Lonely Society Makes It Hard to Come Home from War” talks about the difficulties veterans face when they arrive home. According to Junger, 50% of veterans file for PTSD compensation upon returning home. But only 10% of the military is actively engaged in combat. That means that only 40% of veterans were traumatized over sea’s. Junger takes a step back and looks at Post traumatic Stress Disorder in a different perspective. Junger claims, “Maybe it’s not what happened out there, but the kind of society you come back to”. You are eight times more likely to suffer from depression if you live in a modern society. We live in a very alienating and isolating society that makes it hard for veterans to come home to. After 9/11 the murder rate in New York City went down forty percent. After 9/11 PTSD symptoms went down. The idea of one traumatized person living by himself is scary, but if you traumatize a whole community, we come together. At the end of Junger’s speech he says, “Sometimes we ask ourselves if we can save the vet’s, I think the real question is can we save ourselves?” Junger’s purpose of this speech is to inform and motivate our society to come together if not for themselves, for the men and women who fought for this…

    Carrie Underwood See You Again Analysis

    The huge sign reads “Welcome home daddy!” as the little girl runs and jumps into her father’s arms at the airport. In Carrie Underwood’s song “See You Again” there are many clips of soldiers returning home in the music video. This song reminds today’s society that they will be reunited with their loved ones, whether in this life or the next. Underwood released this song just a few months ago, after the Sandy Hook shootings and the Oklahoma tornadoes. It has become impossible not to notice that today’s society has begun to lose hope in the world. “See You Again” shows us the raw images and reasons that the society has begun to lose hope, but it reminds the population that we must find and maintain hope, because without hope today’s society has nothing. Underwood reminds people that there is so much in the world to hope for; that they must rid themselves from the negative mindsets, and begin to work to better the world again. “See You Again” demonstrates a heartwarming message through strong tension, lyrics, and many images that state today’s society must rediscover and keep hope.…
