Perhaps she could list a few historical facts or sing the national anthem. Based on his essay, “Time Lines” Lewis Lapham would probably advise stating historical facts.

In the lifestyle of today, compared back to the sixties/Beat Generation times, I would say that America is in some ways better and worse off with the concepts and ideas of the Beat Generation. Back in the late 50’s and 60’s all society was worrying about was making love and peace instead of war, an act that we as Americans should try doing. The ‘beatniks’ of the 50’s were outspoken and unusual, they would encourage people to expand their minds and open their thoughts by experiencing the psychedelics of drugs. Now and days I think society would consider the ‘beatniks’ going way out the norm to make a point. I’m sure we all can afford to be a little more open minded, but just not in such a way that could be life

Mastering Discipline Pump It Up! “Without hard work and discipline it is difficult to be a top professional” ~ Jahangir Khan Music Makes You Lose Control “Music makes you lose control” is a very popular Hip Hop song written in 2005, produced by rapper Missy Elliot. This song implies that the power of music will make you give up your free will. However, keep in mind that the act of controlling and disciplining yourself needs to get generated from within, not from external sources. Music can definitely influence emotions by pushing the body to move to a beat, unlike other provocations.
Rap and hip-hop are more likable to youth in the Middle East but that does not mean that the rest should respect this kind of music because the youth only represent 30 percent of the Middle East and the other 70 percent are adults and children. Youth like rap and hip-hop because the lyrics connect to them and to certain events that happened in their real life or because it argues about things that happen to them in their daily life. In a journal called Arabic hip-hop “hile it was brought to life by the African-American community in the United States, hip hop’s ruptures into different cultures around the world were not driven by any of the homogenizing and imperialist forces of western culture that usually seek to take over local and indigenous heritages in the name of democracy and capitalism. Instead, hip hop continues to locate its narrative space in the margins of each society, as it faces a constant dilemma of
People from younger generations are so drawn that they would rather skip school and chase after fame and money so that they can also appear to the world as celebrities. Celebrity culture through the help of the media is forced down the throats of our teenagers and young people from the younger generation now lose their grip on the culture and are ‘westernized’ However, it’s not like nothing good can come out of celebrity culture, They encourage teenagers to follow their dreams and work towards what they feel is the right path for them. Celebrity culture shows that you should as much as possible give to those who are in need and support various
Hip hop in the English language gives teenagers a sense of individuality. If everyone talked the same, life would be boring. If all the music lyrics in America had the same words, or theme, or even the same tune, wouldn’t you get tired of listening and singing along? Well language is the same way.
