Music with social message

We hear songs everyday, whether on the radio, television, or from music sources such as CD's, iPod, and other sources. Music touches us in a unique way. It is easy to get a song stuck in your head. While you may remember parts from a movie or a television show, you don't play the movie in it's entirety over and over in your head throughout the day. Music touches us.
While there are songs that are meaningless, such as most pop songs, there are songs that have been written through the years that express a deep meaning, meant to move us to action in some way.
The music, like any art form, is a cultural product. The purpose of this art is to provoke an aesthetic experience in the listener, and express feelings, circumstances, thoughts or ideas. The music is a stimulus that affects the individual's perceptual field, so the flow of sound can fulfill various functions (entertainment, communication, environment, etc.).
One of the obvious ones is 'Where is the Love' by Black Eyed Peas.

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria

infecting the young minds faster than bacteria

Kids act like what they see in the cinema

These are lyrics taken from the recent Black Eyed Peas song, ‘Where is the love. They express a negative view of the media, blaming the media for the problems in today’s society.

This verse provides a very sweeping statement for people to agree with, in today’s society it is easier to blame the media for the problems of today, than to have to think about alternative reasons. Although the media may have some negative influences, it also provides a number of positive aspects, which often people do not acknowledge.

For many people, different forms of media are used to escape from the stresses of everyday life, programmes such as soaps can be watched without any thought being required. Media can often offer catharsis for those suffering from different illnesses, or bereavement.
