I think music can be used to forward a political message. Some songs can have an impacts on the world. They have an impact because of the lyrics or message the song portrays.

Yes I believe music can. People worldwide turn to music for a way to escape or even just relive stress. So if musicians wanna pass’s political message a good way would be through music.

I agree it is a huge stress relief in today society. It gives us a break and allows us to escape.

Troy

I don’t believe that a song can really change the world for a long period of time maybe a small short period but nothing long standing. I believe that songs can express politics. There is many songs that people won’t listen too because of political views. I like songs about trump they jack me up.

Kaleb

Very true statement!

Tamryn

2/18/2020 11:05:27 am

I think that songs can can express politics. I agree that people tend to steer away from songs that have political views. It seems that anything political is a very touchy subject nowadays.

Wylie

2/18/2020 10:37:03 am

It would be good if it was about Trump maybe but that’s about it. It probably could make a difference because it could change people’s feelings.

Sydnee

2/18/2020 10:37:32 am

Good point

Troy

2/18/2020 10:37:42 am

You are correct

Kelton

Nice opinion

Sydnee

I feel like some songs can make a big difference. They can also send a message.

taelyn

great response.

Loon

I feel this

Cheyenne Ward

2/18/2020 10:37:19 am

Yes. Yes music can actually make a difference is the world because people like music and listen carefully to what it means and if we put messages in the song people will listen and hopefully take the message into consideration.

Destiny

2/18/2020 10:39:29 am

I agree with your evidence

Taelyn

2/18/2020 10:37:24 am

i think that music can be used to forward a political message. a lot of songs have meanings and can impact peoples minds a certain way. the different lyrics in a song can make people think differently.

Cody

2/18/2020 10:38:05 am

You made a good point

Paul

2/18/2020 10:40:04 am

I think that is a good point.

Cole

2/18/2020 10:37:25 am

I don’t know as though it matters. However people use music to express how they feel so it often times is expressed. I prefer music that expresses people liking Trump as our president.

Cody

2/18/2020 10:37:31 am

I think it could be used. Some music makes an impact on people. Music can be powerful and use words in a passionate way.

Paul

2/18/2020 10:39:38 am

I agree with you

Brooke

2/18/2020 10:41:49 am

I agree.

Brayden

2/18/2020 10:38:20 am

Messages are relade through music very good. This being said I believe you could send a political message through a sound. I don’t believe one song will change the world but it may change a persons perspective.

Loon

2/18/2020 10:38:25 am

I think music can be used to forward a political message and that this should be allowed. I think a song can make a difference at a very small level like affecting a person. But I don’t think a song can make an impact on a worldly level.

Cheyenne

2/18/2020 10:40:20 am

I agree and disagree because you make some very good points but I think if enough people listen it can make an impact on a worldly level.

Riley

2/18/2020 10:40:34 am

I also think it has more of an individual effect.

Dylan

2/18/2020 10:38:25 am

I think music is the artist way of expressing their opinions on the world. I think music can make a change if it gets popular. If people agree with there opinion then it can change the world.

Riley

2/18/2020 10:41:23 am

I second this motion.

Brayden

2/18/2020 10:42:27 am

I agree with that statement.

Jacob

2/18/2020 10:38:45 am

I believe music can be used to forward a political message. A song can definitely make a difference in the world as well. The reason for this is that songs lyrics can really speak to people sometimes.

Destiny

2/18/2020 10:38:46 am

I believe that music should not have a political message. But music is a way to for the song writer’s view on the world. Songs have different affects on people since everyone has their own thoughts on different problems.

Dylan

2/18/2020 10:41:08 am

I agree with that.

Brooke

2/18/2020 10:42:32 am

If they can’t voice their opinion that takes away their freedom of speech.

Paul

2/18/2020 10:39:17 am

I think it can. I believe a song can make a difference in the world. Because so many people listen to songs and pay attention to them.

Riley

2/18/2020 10:39:23 am

I think music does tend to have some political views, but I also think that this may distance some of your audience. I don’t think bands or musicians should get into politics, they should stay in their own area of expertise.

Dylan

2/18/2020 10:40:14 am

I agree

Tamryn

2/18/2020 10:41:04 am

Yes, I think songs make a lot of difference. A song can portray a huge message in any part of the world. I think using music is a good way to get a message out. Any generation is a huge music fan.

Brooke

2/18/2020 10:41:18 am

I don’t care if an artist voices their political opinions because it’s their music. Music can talk about problems in the world but I don’t really know if it could inspire someone to make a difference. Some people don’t really get affected by music so it just depends on the person that’s listing to the music.

Charlie

2/18/2020 10:45:24 am

I believe that music can be used to push a political stance. I believe it has shaped the world because people are more likely to listen an artist they like.

Kaleb

2/18/2020 11:02:49 am

I do think that music can make a difference, people care about something more if they enjoy hearing it. They will often say the truth that no one else can say.
