Protest Music Mini- Project

I'am comparing Bob Dylan song, "The Times They Are A-Changin" to Tupac song "Changes" because they both leave a message due to changes amongst society. Bob Dylan song is based on how everyone should change and unit together as a whole and Tupac is a very strong worded protest song because again he talks about how the world need to make major changes according to racism towards African- Americans. The message of these songs made me think of why life has to be full of racism and why the white people couldn't except the fact that black people existed. In the long run everyone deserves the same equality because no matter what race we are, we all are just human. These songs were basically stating why people can't just change the way they live and treat each other fair. The key word for these songs is peace.

Anti-Americans

An un- American is people who are disloyal. For example trying to destroy the United States is consider to be an un-American because of the fact that is betraying the country. Being against the law is an un- American. Promoting anything that undermines or damages the traditions and institutions that make this the last, best hope for mankind and try to turn it into Western Europe is un-American. Being an Anti- American is definitely un- American. Un- Americans are people who wish high taxes on others because there are people out here that do not have it at all and this is why millions of people is either struggling or homeless today. Terrorist is consider to be an un- American. It is difficult to determine what un- Americans is because people have their own opinions. Americans today are living with freedom but regardless if we like it or not we are still living under laws in America. For my opinion whoever choose to be an Anti- American should not be consider a American if they are against it. Nobody can really decide what un-American is because everybody have their own opinion about what un-American is.

Do you support imperialism for your country? Explain.

I support imperialism for my country. It increases our industrial growth. It helps improve our colony as an whole. Not only will it benefit us but it will benefit the country that we are imperializing. Health care will improve and we will have a better school education. The economy probably will strengthen and there will be more job opportunities. Culture facilities will spread, so there will be foreign things other than American things. Nationalism can spread. Basically the country will become rich and wealthy. I would not want my country to over do another country because it cause war. I think imperialism should be about helping expand a country.

Compare the conditions workers in China face currently with those of workers in America at the turn of the century.

Immagrants had a hard time living up to their dreams and meeting their expectations in America. Asian immagrants had trouble finding a job due to understanding an unfamiliar language and culture. On top of that because they did not have a job, they could not find a home. It was hard to adjust to life in a large industrial city. Around that time working conditions was unsafe but most of them took it even if it was little pay. They needed to earn enough money for them and their families to survive. Imagrants were willing to work long hours with low wages. Chinese immagrants worked as laborers and suffered from racial discrimination. They were unskilled workers.

Describe/comment on a Jacob Riis photo. "In a Seven- Cent Lodging- House"

This is one of Jacob Riis photo that describes how the immagrants living condition were. They did not sleep comfortable because this exactly what their bunks looked like. They had to sleep on top of each other and it was no space. Can you imagine being in a cramped up room? No privacy or space. Its not like they had a bed, they had to sleep on a sheet, if I'm not mistaking. The room is flithy so they did not experienced a clean surrounding. They did not make a good amount of money so they had to get what they could afford. The homes could of been a little better to the point they could of lived comfortably.

Can someone rise from "rags to riches

It is possible for someone to rise from "rags to riches". People do not realize that everyone can be talented in something whether it is singing, dancing, drawing, painting or just being a prodigy at a sport or a instrument. For example a homeless person can just be singing to nicely out in the streets and it is possible that a famous or important person can see that person talent. Most likely that person will give the homeless person money and a offer on a show. Most of these rich people today had a rough life before making it to where they are at now. Who wants to be a rag forever, some of them will know that it is time for them to get there lives together. Everyone deserves a chance to better themselves. Its difficult to become rich from a rag but its never impossible. Humans are skilled at something that can help us be something in life.
