Topic 7 DQ 1

Music artists utilize language that degrades or puts down various groups in our society including women. Think about a current, popular song. What do the lyrics say about relationships, gender identities, love, and intimacy? Do you agree that the use of derogatory lyrics is free speech? Does the song use qualitative, textual, or rhetorical methods to portray their thoughts of various groups in society? Be sure to support your response with scholarly sources. 

 

Topic 7 DQ 2

Much research suggests that young people are utilizing racially derogatory language in social media without understanding the historical use of such language. Explain whether or not you feel music and new media contribute to this trend. How would you remedy this problem? Or is it not a problem?
