If I were to make a soundtrack that was compiled of songs that best represent me as a person or my life, two of the songs I would put on the soundtrack are “Come Out” by Steve Reich and “Fugue in G Minor” by Johann Bach. I would include these two songs because I believe they represent what kind of a person I am. Steve Reich created “Come Out” as a way to spread awareness for the civil rights movement. Equal rights for all human beings is an ideology that I completely agree with and a belief that I hope to contribute to society as I grow older. This song was successful in spreading the awareness of the civil rights movement. Just how rap music has continued in the footsteps of phase music throughout the 80s and 90s, even to this day to spread awareness of how corrupt our society is; and that is the reason why I love listening to rap and music similar to “Come Out.” I would include “Fugue in G Minor” in my soundtrack because every time I listen to it I get this feeling of mysteriousness. Anyone that is close to me knows that there is a sense of mysteriousness about me because I like to live a private life where people will have to try very hard if they want to …show more content…

This song was a response from Eminem to the media and anyone who did not like his music and basically telling them that he does not care what they think. The reason why I chose this song is because everything that the song represents also pertains to who I am. I am someone who does not care about what other people think of me. That is why I am able to live my life and say what I want to say without it negatively affecting me. This is similar to what Eminem raps about in “The Way I Am” because he does not care how much you hate or criticize his music, he will continue to make music because it is the one thing he loves to do; just how no one can stop me from doing what I love to

In Socrates’ trial in Plato’s Apology, the court offers several different choices of punishment for his accused crimes. If Socrates were to accept any of these compromised consequences, it would mean that he would have to accept accusations that were brought on him, which is why he chose death. My analysis of Socrates’ argument from the Apology reveals that even if it means he will have to die, he will stand by his behavior and his beliefs because he believes that he is being obedient to God, which is essential to an overall understanding of the Apology because there are reoccurring themes of piety and not betraying one’s own philosophy throughout the text. The author of the Apology, Plato, is known to be the ‘Father of all Western philosophy’.

Released in 2004 (recorded between 1991 and 1994) as part of Tupac Shakur’s album Loyal To The Game, the song Ghetto Gospel, acts as a doctrine in favour of reconciliation between races and the abolition of infighting within different cultural circles. Following hundreds of years of racial intolerance, this song emerged during a time of diversification and acceptance with regards to a person's cultural background. Through references to historical figures such as Malcolm X and Bobby Hutton, the song reinforces a message of equality. The line “Like Malcolm X or Bobby Hutton died for nothin’” alludes to the idea of regression, and how people should avoid actions that damage the level of racial acceptance that people such as the aforementioned have fought for. In addition to this, the line “Before we find world peace, we gotta find peace and end the war in the streets” alludes to the fighting between gangs, specifically the Bloods and the Crips, and the effect it has on people who live in impoverished areas where organized crime

In this generation several people tend to believe that Hip Hop is very negative. Rappers only talk about the large amount of money they make, how many girls they have and the fame.

Gold chains, baggy pants, and tattoos is what society adjudicator you by but does that make you a bad person because of the type of music you listen to or the way you dress.
