Where is the Love Reaction

            WHERE IS THE LOVE? - Black Eyed Peas.
             The song where is the love clearly describes the present world that we are all living in. Violence and terrorism are escalating. These things have become a common household issue. If we are going to decipher the song line per line, there are many sociological issues being taken into serious consideration, like racism and terrorism. Moreover, the rap song clearly states how the media is of great influence to the youth. Why is this so? Since violence creates so much hype and interests in the world, broadcasting them generates lots of profits for the media company. They never consider what impacts it causes to the minds of the people watching it especially the younger ones.
             If I were a sociologist, I will summarize the song into its main two key points. First will be the ongoing war in the middle-east and in other parts of the globe. Second will be the too much attention to violence that the media is trying to focus too much on. The song directly criticizes America's position and intentions in going to war. In one way or another, how the artists or writers of the song tried to tell its listeners how corporate America has exploited the events that happened on 9/11. For the administration, it was a matter of urgency, for the people it was entirely of a different reason (a reason kept secret). The song portrays how too much hate is generated from oppression and wrong ideals. .
             Second issue will be the media's position. Children nowadays are very unlucky. Why? Most of the things and shows that they watch on TV are the exaggerated violence that happens. The media always exaggerates for profit. In one part of the song "negative images is the main criteria, infecting the young minds like bacteria", this line shows why the media needs to be controlled in its portrayal of society. The kids don't understand what is happening as much as the adults do. In turn, their values and actions are being radically changed by the images that they are seeing.
