Learning Goal:

The goal of this task is to increase my understanding of how music can represent some of my own views on society. Also, to better understand one song in particular, its meaning, the artists’ intentions and views, and to reflect on my own views regarding society.

Expectations:

• Listen to songs that have something to say about society and someone’s viewpoint or perspective. Think about your own perspectives or views about society today.
  

• Use your own collection or surf the net to find a song that reflects the way you feel about the state of society today.

• Keep track of where you are getting your information from and cite it. This means you put the name of the author or organization who wrote the article you are using in brackets after the point, with the year that the article was published or put on line. For example (Smith, 2011).
  

In any format of your choice, describe how this song illustrates your views by doing all of the following…

1. Describing the song’s literal and or symbolic meaning
2. The group or artist and talking about your views on Canadian society and or Global society
3. Drawing the connections between what the song says and your views
