What’s Going On?

Marvin Gaye skrev en sang i 1971, som hedder “What’s Going On”. Han skrev den, fordi der var nogle ting der skete i verden, som han ikke kunne forstå. Han kunne ikke forstå hvorfor der skulle være krig og uro i verden. Det underlige er bare, at det var i 1971, og det er noget, som stadig kunne ske i dag. Selvom det er 2014, så er der stadig krig og racisme mange steder i verden.

Der er heldigvis fremskridt i hele verden når det gælder racisme. Jeg er f.eks glad for, at jeg kan gå rundt i København helt normalt med min mor, uden at jeg føler mig nedstirret. Hvis jeg gik rundt med min mor i Rusland ville folk nok kigge underligt på os. Jeg ville også skabe opmærksomhed, hvis jeg gik uden min mor.
Det der stadig undrer mig er, hvorfor der er ledere i verden, som har et så stort behov for, at have så meget magt, og ikke have behov for, at skabe fred. Jeg tænker på Rusland, Bashar al-Assad, Gadaffi osv.
Det er jo klart, at folk flygter hver dag, når der er krig, og man hører skud udenfor.

Marvin skriver i sangen:

“Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today”

Hvis vi nu tager udgangspunkt i Rusland og Ukraine konflikten, så er det som Marvin skriver i teksten, så gør Rusland jo lige præcis det, som Marvin skriver man ikke skal. Altså “Vi behøver ikke, at eskalere”, og det er jo det der sker nu. Rusland bliver ved med, at angribe Ukraine. “Krig er ikke svaret”, det er jo det som Rusland tror der skal til (nemlig krig) “For kun kærlighed kan erobre had. Vi SKAL finde en udvej. For at få noget kærlighed i dag”. Man kan sige, at kærlighed er udvejen. Rusland og Ukraine skal finde en løsning sammen. De skal forhandle, og finde en løsning som alle kan være tilfredse med. Ukraine kan selvfølgelig også bare overgive sig, men så vil der stadig være had. Befolkningen i Ukraine vil hade russerne mere end de gør i dag.

Hvis man nu siger, at Rusland og Ukraine konflikten netop eskalerer, hvad vil der så ske?
Jeg tror at der ville blive en form for større krig mellem de to lande.
Det er jo klart, at når der er masser af krig, så vil der også være en masse flygtninge. Danmark har i forvejen en masse problemer med flygtninge. Det seneste er jo, at regeringen vil lave om på asylloven, så man kan blive sendt hjem til sit hjemland efter et år. Det er forfærdentligt, hvis man tilhører en minoritet, og ikke er velkommen i sit hjemland. Spørgsmålet er, om Danmark har plads til flere flygtninge? Lige umiddelbart, så mener jeg, at vi har plads. Men der er rigtig mange krige i verden lige nu, som eskalerer, og vi kunne ende med rigtig mange flygtninge.

Men vil det være realistisk, at krigen mellem Rusland og Ukraine ikke spreder sig?

Nej. Rusland er et meget stærkt land. Ukraine vil ikke have nogen som helst chance. Jeg vil tro, at USA vil sende nogle tropper til Ukraine. Hvis man nu forestiller sig, at det eskalerer endnu mere, vil Polen og Hviderusland hjælpe Rusland, og så kunne man godt forestille sig, at Rumænien og Moldova vil hjælpe Ukraine. Der har vi så en lidt større krig.

Rusland bør tænke mere over, at skabe fred. Rusland tænker mere over hvor mange bomber de skal bruge, hvilke våben der skal bruges og hvor mange soldater der skal til Ukraine. Det vil klæde Putin, at bruge sin magt, til at skabe fred. Måske skal man spille What’s Going On for Putin, og så håbe på han får tænkt sig om.

What's Going On Marvin Gaye Analysis

...In the song, “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye, the conflict of modern diseases and religion are harmful because the diseases are killing countless innocent children and people as well as having them pray for a cure until they die. A quote from the song states, “All the kids with dreams/Won’t get the chance to chase it”, (Gaye, 88-89). This shows that modern disease is killing children and they won’t achieve what they dream of achieving in life. It matters because it shows the infected children will not be able to live life and chase what they want in life. Also, it can relate to our universal theme because it shows conflicts being harmful by ruining the chance of the next generation achieving their dreams. The conflict of modern disease killing...

Lyrical Essay

...What’s Going On? From the moment I heard the song, What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye, it became one of my favorite lyrically appeasing songs. Written by Renaldo Benson, Al Cleveland and Gaye himself, this song reflects on certain incidents of police brutality and war horror stories. Some of the song refers to an police brutality incident witnessed by Renaldo “Obie” Benson in the People’s Park during a protest held by anti-war activists in what was later called “Bloody Thursday”. Some of Marvin Gaye’s personal experiences were also reflected in this song; he had just lost his beloved duet partner Tammi Terrell to a three year battle with a brain tumor, and his brother, Frankie, had just returned from the Vietnam War with stories “that moved Gaye to tears”. Marvin Gaye sought a channel in which he could express his sorrow and frustration with society, which is how this song came about. This song was produced in the 70s and in Motown, which means that the song definitely had a jazz and gospel tone. The blending between the music of the time period and the issues of the time period caused the song to become a great hit. It topped the Hot Soul Singles chart for 5 weeks and became number two on the Billboard Top 100 chart. The song sold over 2 million copies causing it to become Marvin Gaye’s second most successful Motown song. The song focused on major seventh and minor seventh chords, and was developed using sounds of jazz, gospel and classical music orchestration. It was mainly viewed...

The Letter

...Dear Marji Satrapi, I just finished reading your graphic novel persepolis and while reading it i was conflicted on alot of matters in the story but non the less I found it inspiring how you went through all that at such a young age. Also how you were able to understand in your own mind what was going on and your imagination was really detailed for a little girl. The images guild you through the book and create a sense of actually being there during that time. The images are also not only just showing me what was going on in that specific scene, but it is revealing several symbols that will help the reader look into the story at a deeper level. When i was finished reading it i was so conflicted on the things that had happened. This book has helped me to see all the life struggles, good times, and adversities that youfaced between the ages of nine to thirteen. The Islamic Revolution had such a daunting effect in the Middle East, especially in the county of Iran where you and you family resided. You had your own spirit about things and you didnt let them take it away from you. While reading your book i could tell your parents really loved you. They wanted you to get the education you deserved and got you out of your hometown. It amezed me how even though you were still in another country you were still dedicated to where you first came from. I was in shock while reading parts of persepolis because of the reactions that were in there. On Page 30 you had a conversation with god...

Inspector Calls

...Birling is described at the start as "a pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather excited."  Even though she seems very playful at the opening, we know that she has some suspicions about Gerald when she mentions "last summer, when you never came near me."  This could suggest that she is not as naive as first thought.   Sheila is not aware of most things her parents get up to, along with Gerald of whom she later finds out some disturbing news.  At the start of the play we see that she does not really understand how things work, all she knows is that they do.  But as the play goes on we watch her change, for the better? Throughout the play we watch as Sheila matures and grasps a hold of reality and actually sees whats going on behind the scenes.  She finds out that even the people she knows and loves, can be manipulating and dishonest.  At the end of the play, Sheila is much wiser.  Her decision to wake up and confront her parents and Gerald was the transition from naive girl to mature women.  The results of this were not what she expected and made her realise that not everything what it seems.

Catcher in the Rye Thematic Essay

...this essay I will identify a theme from this story and explain how it is developed in the novel. In my opinion an important theme of the Catcher in the Rye is the painfulness of growing up. Many people interpreted this novel to be a coming of age novel, due to the fact that it talks about issues teenagers go through. Readers can relate to Holden Caulfield because of his disdain to the process of maturity. For example, in chapter 16, Holden's thoughts about the Museum of Natural History establishes Holden's fear on change and how overwhelmed he is of complexity. Holden wants everything to be easy to understand and a fixed, An example of this is the statues of Eskimos and Native Americans in the museum. Holden doesn't really understand whats going on around him. He acknowledges this fear with his confusion on sex, “sex is something I just don't understand. I swear to God I don't”. Holden invents a fantasy that being an adult is a world of superficiality and phoniness. Holden also feels that childhood is a world of innocence, curiosity, and honesty. In my opinion, Holden's view on childhood and adulthood are immature and foolish. Holden conceptions are very shallow and are proven shallow by his former teacher Mr. Andolini and his little sister Phoebe. Holden has a dream about being a catcher in the rye. He envisions childhood as a peaceful field of rye in which children play and rum. Adulthood, in Holden's fantasy, is equivalent to death, or a fatal fall or the edge. Holden's beliefs...

Fort Jackson

...dressed myself the night before, knowing all I had to do was get in the car and go. Halfway dragging myself down the hall, I am welcomed by the slobbery faces of 2 boxers’ pouncing and falling everywhere fighting for a chance to say good morning. I massage my fingers through their course hair and kiss them goodbye on the forehead. Just like that we are on the road. Squeezing 2 full size adults as well as myself in a small ford focus is no simple ask. Might I add that 2 of those are females… we pack heavily. The car is cool and the radio is buzzing out country songs preparing us for this haul from Kentucky to South Carolina. Fort Jackson South Carolina to be specific. I wasn’t sure how long we were going to be in the car, nor did I ask. The only thing on my mind was what it was going to be like seeing my boyfriend after what felt like the longest 3 months of my life. He would be graduating from Basic Training in just 2 short days. What should I wear? Did I remember my make up? What if it rains? These thoughts consumed my mind as I blankly stared out the window filled with miles of road. Somehow my gaze fell into a nap and I was brought back into reality by the loud chuckles coming from the front seat. Corey’s dad, reliving his own Army days, was belting out old cadences he remembers from the past. His mom was trying to focus on the road, but couldn’t help but to laugh at him. I knew they always picked on each other in a cute flirty but also disturbing, being parents, type of...

Why We Buy

...Now where Underhill is on the sales floor in his book, Martin Lindstrom digs into the minds of the consumers in his book Buy•ology. By doing this Lindstrom is able to identify why we purchase the products/ services we do. Now one thing that I really learned in Lindstrom’s book is that we lie. Consumers lie time and time again, not only are we lying to each other or surveys but to are selfs. Either that or we are to scared to tell the truth to anyone. In one of Lindstrom’s studies he was testing a new show for a U.S. audience that was already doing great in the U.K. The show was called Quizmania, to see how the audience was going to react to this show before it was even aired Lindstrom arranged at test of two hundred people. They had three shows for the group of two hundred to watch Quizmania, The Swan, and How Clean Is Your House? Now going into this study Lindstrom already new what people thought of both How Clean Is Your House? and The Swan. This way he would have something to compare the new show too. How Clean Is Your House? was a success with viewers, where as The Swan had not been that popular. If the U.S. was like the U.K. then Quizmania should fall somewhere in between the two other shows. Geting the surveys back from the group of two hundred it seemed that Quizmania was their least...
