Where is The Love: Black Eyed Peas?
One can be easily captivated by “Where is The Love” by Black Eyed Peas, not because he/she is a fan, or lover of this particular musical genre, but because when listened carefully the lyrics express the hidden feelings of a generation, and of society in general. It describes how the war and terrorism are affecting out the world and it focuses on the bad decisions and poor role models in society. It talks of bombing, terrorism, discriminations of all kinds, and the type of values that we as a nation are not showing the youth of today. It is to raise the awareness on how much others are suffering in the world and for people around the world to reflect about the events that show the ugly and dirty side of the world. It encourages us to spread some love and not to discriminate. ”Where is The Love”, is also written to free people from discrimination.
This song was written around the time the World Trade Center, in New York City was attacked. This song uses a pathos appeal because throughout the music video they used children that are facing this hate-filled violence, and they’re praying to the sky asking for help. This song broadens the knowledge of what’s really going on in today’s society. Also in the song it had a question mark in a rectangle which was surrounded by a white border. They used this symbol to represent the question “Where is the love” throughout the song. This symbol is used throughout the entire song. For example the question mark was used on the World Trade Center. It was also used on the negative things that surrounded the community and children, such as the alcohol bottle the man was purchasing, and the violent video games the children were playing. This song
brings out the cries from our society that’s facing discrimination. It also describes how all different races are desperate to find out where is the love. Another thing that struck me was the
