Song “Where is the Love”
Reflections:
Firstly, it is a good and nice song and also quite popular among many people. It may be the famous singers or the famous songs that make the singers famous. I do not know, but the song is good.
Now to the real deal of this blog post. The reflections. The issues discussed in this song are mostly related to the theme of racism. The song is most probably trying to say that many “black people” are discriminated due to their skin colour. Discrimination occurs in USA to the extent that people are killed in the process of it. “And to discriminate only generates hate” is a quote from the lyrics of the song. Discrimination generates hate so that means that the black people do not really like the so called “white people” for they are insulted by them. The song is also trying to state that the society nowadays is crumbling, with people with warped values. This is caused by the people as they are too egoistic to care about others. They lack basic respect and love for each other and they also possess sheep-thinking.
My thoughts to this issue is that why can’t the “white people” accept the “black people”? President Obama is the president of the country full of “white people” and they have learnt to accept him as a good and caring leader who is very capable. These “white people” have to accept the “black people” or there will be chaos forever in USA, mostly related to racial fights. I am sure no one wants that to happen. Do the “white people” really believe that creating peace is not by accepting the “black people”, but to ‘exterminate’ each and every one of their ‘kind’? I am sure they do, with reference to the quote in the song “People killing, people dying.” The first “people” refers to the “white people” while the second “people” refers to the “black people”.
There are also other forms of injustice in society nowadays. Such include being biased, or discriminated at. Some even occur in schools! You think that school is a fair place for all where there is justice taken care by the teachers? Well, think again. SOME teachers are also biased. They could be biased against a malay/tamil student, and support a Chinese student even though they clearly know who is really in fault. However, the teacher is Chinese and prefers to Chinese Race, well elese can be done to prevent this? It’s not our thinking to influence, it’s theirs to influence, which makes the entire situation even more difficult to resolve.
Thus, I feel that the only resolution is through a compromise, whereby both parties agree on a term such as “having world peace” etc. A compromise is usually the best solution, while violence is not. Therefore, violence should never be implemented in this kind of situations.
See you for now :D
