Hello Guys The song i chose is "Tell Everybody" and it is the song to raise awareness towards the poverty. The shooting of the song mostly took place in Africa because most of the countries in Africa are poor and they need help from the Non Government Organizations around the world. I believe that whatever is said in the song is right because poverty is a big problem in the world and it is the duty of each one of us to help the non government organizations to solve this problem. The song also tells us the political situation in Africa that how bad the situation of politics in Africa is and I believe that the government should stop fighting and they should start helping their people to solve the poverty problems in Africa.

The song I have chosen is "Black or White" by Michael Jackson. This song relates to the global goal of reduced inequalities because "It don't matter if you're black or white". While colour discrimination has come a long way over the years, there is still much improvement to be made. This song is a bit older, but the message holds true and I particularly like the line "I'm not going to spend my life being a color". Everyone needs to come to the realization that when it comes down to it, we are all human - with bones, flesh and a heart pumping blood throughout our bodies - with different pigmentation on the outside.

The song I chose was "We are the world" by Micheal Jackson, but the newer version that was created for the earthquake in Haiti. This song relates to ending poverty. The lyrics, "We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving". This is stating on how in Canada and the US, we have so many resources to turn to: like the food banks, or shelters like Out of the Cold. Where in Haiti after the earthquake they had nothing. So it's telling us to help the ones in need go out of your comfort zone and find a way to lend a hand. The video was shot in a recording studio but used footage of people helping out others in third world countries, with supplying food and rebuilding shelter.

The song I chose for the challenge is "Imagine" By John Lennon. Many people have at least heard of the iconic song, but delving into the lyrics itself allows you to put yourself into a world where people can be equal, regardless of how impossible such a thing may seem. Through lyrics like, "No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world." the message of equality is clear, and it outlines the world that we want to achieve, making us want to be a part of the solution. The video itself also holds true to this as well, as the gradual inclusion of light brightens the room, like the world being enlightened.

The song "Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston has a great message in it. It talks about children being the future. We must teach them well and let them lead the way. I find this to be very accurate and relevant today. Our generation and the ones to come are the future. We have the ability to change the world. We are able to reach all of the UN global goals. This includes ending poverty, achieving gender equality and ending hunger worldwide. We must educate children well as they hold the future in their hands.

The song I chose was "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga. This song is relating to the Global Goal of 'reducing inequalities'. This song relates to the goal because Gaga sings about how it doesn't matter what you do, who you love, what you look like you are all perfect. In this song, Gaga checks in on multiple kinds of inequalities and addresses them all as being okay and not to be shamed. For instance, one line says "A different lover is not a sin" and then continues later with "No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby" Gaga also mentions skin tone, sexual orientation and looks as all being natural and okay. This song hits at ending all points of inequalities.
