The central message of this song is one of hope and faith and the belief that leaning on God and trusting in Him will bring you peace. Could this song be culturally offensive? Yes. Not everyone is a Christian and believes in God. Although it conveys a message that everyone can relate to in the matter of sometimes everyone just needs to put their faith and trust in something, it is centered around trusting in God's will for ones life and not everyone believes that. For a believer in Christianity, this song brings good feelings of hope and trust. The lyrics say "Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, let me walk upon the waters wherever you may call me." To me, this means putting your complete trust in God in hopes that He will restore your faith. ]]> 2016-09-29 00:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dixiegrl785/asrew2qspv3y/wish/127134273 Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw  dixiegrl785 https://padlet.com/dixiegrl785/asrew2qspv3y/wish/127134312 "Humble and Kind" is a country song by the famous country star, TIm McGraw. The central message of this song is pretty self-explanatory based on the title. It says that no matter what you experience and go through in life, always stay humble and kind. It has a very positive message about having manners, following rules, and always being appreciative of what you have and what you've been given. I don't think "Humble and Kind" would be culturally offensive. It is a clean song about having morals and being kind. I think it gives off a message that anyone can relate and listen to. ]]> 2016-09-29 00:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dixiegrl785/asrew2qspv3y/wish/127134312 Where is the Love by The Black Eyed Peas  dixiegrl785 https://padlet.com/dixiegrl785/asrew2qspv3y/wish/127134343 "Where is the Love" is a hip/hop rap song by the group, The Black Eyed Peas. The central message of this song is telling people that they need to wake up and realize what's going on in the world. It talks about discrimination and race, as well as world issues such terrorism, and problems in the media. The message conveys that love is the only thing that can change the hate that goes on in the world today. "Where is the Love" doesn't perpetrate stereotypes, however it talks about the gangs and cults that cause issues in America such as the bloods, crips, and the KKK. Aside from my beliefs about these groups, they could be considered culturally offensive, because some people may be a part of these gangs/groups or view them as an important part of our nation's history. The song gives hope that one day our nation may together if we start spreading more love than hate. ]]> 2016-09-29 00:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dixiegrl785/asrew2qspv3y/wish/127134343 The Blind Side  dixiegrl785 https://padlet.com/dixiegrl785/asrew2qspv3y/wish/127134367 The Blind Side is a film based off the life and struggles of Michael Oher.

The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

[6x]
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

Oh, Jesus, you're my God!

I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK

But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah

Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love, the love, the love

It just ain't the same, old ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace are so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong?

Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone

So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love, the love, the love?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema

Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?

Sing with me y'all:
One world, one world (We only got)
One world, one world (That's all we got)
One world, one world
And something's wrong with it (Yeah)
Something's wrong with it (Yeah)
Something's wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah
We only got
(One world, one world)
That's all we got
(One world, one world)]]> 2016-09-29 01:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dixiegrl785/asrew2qspv3y/wish/127137938 Background on Tim McGraw  dixiegrl785 https://padlet.com/dixiegrl785/asrew2qspv3y/wish/127140248 Tim McGraw is an American country artist.

Don't forget the key's under the mat
When childhood stars shine,
Always stay humble and kind

Go to church 'cause your mamma says to
Visit grandpa every chance that you can
It won't be wasted time
Always stay humble and kind

Hold the door, say "please", say "thank you"
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind

Don't expect a free ride from no one
Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why:
Bitterness keeps you from flyin'
Always stay humble and kind

Know the difference between sleeping with someone
And sleeping with someone you love
"I love you" ain't no pick-up line
So always stay humble and kind

Hold the door, say "please", say "thank you"
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When those dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind

When it's hot, eat a root beer popsicle
Shut off the AC and roll the windows down
Let that summer sun shine
Always stay humble and kind

Don't take for granted the love this life gives you
When you get where you're going don't forget turn back around
And help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind]]> 2016-09-29 02:13:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dixiegrl785/asrew2qspv3y/wish/127140914 Background of Freedom Writers dixiegrl785 https://padlet.com/dixiegrl785/asrew2qspv3y/wish/127141895 The film was based off a novel written by teacher, Erin Gruwell.
