Term 1 Week 3: (Weekend Assignment)

The main message of the song "Where is the love" by the black eyed peas, is that the world is totally screwed up, with problems everywhere, and they are crying out to God for help to heal the "wounds" of the world. "As I'm getting older y'all people get colder/ Most of us only care about money makin/Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction/Wrong information always shown by the media/Negative images is the main criteria/Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria/Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema/Whatever happened to the values of humanity/Whatever happened to the fairness and equality/Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity". This is the part that gives me the greatest impact, as we all know, our upbringing is very important, and the voral values we learn as kids affect how we behave in the future. This few lines show how the minds of children are "poisoned" in a sense, with the wrong values, which they bring down into adulthood, causing the vicious cycle to be repeated, as the adults teach their children the flawed thinking.
