Which parts of your identity do you think are chosen by you, and which are shaped by society? Why?

I think at the time you are born, you are born with an identity, however, i admit that as time goes by we acquire certain learned attitudes ,that they are not part of our soul , and unconsciously we make them part of ourselves, and i think this is due to the human need to belong however, i believe that the purpose of life is to introspect, to face your attitudes face to face and decide and feel which ones are truly legitimate, so its about unbecoming everything you are not so that you can be who you were meant to be, and this is not an easy task, so u may be last a lifetime and never find who you trully are, so in conclusion, i think that most of us have like a central idea thats shaped by the society, for example, to be kind, i believe theres people that by nature theyre kind or have a kind soul, however they learned to be kind, so they learned to listen respectfully, to always think about the other one as u think about yourself, so its a mix, but obviously theres certain exceptions, you may have a beautiful and kind soul, but borned in a very rude family, so u as a soul are kind, but learned to be rude

i think when a problem surges theres mainly many ways to react, this reaction being because of the way you have been educated and by the things you believe in, for example i think one of the mainly factors of wars in mid east is because of religion, in this is based most of conflicts in between this areas, and the countrys defend themselves with arguments, like "god made me do it" and in my opinion this is the most blasfemous thing to do, not only because you use the word of the almighty in your favour, but because you dont need a great iq to not see that what theyre doing is exactly all the opposite to what the son of god teached, i believe this is an extreme tho, maybe in daily life problems theres also influence of spiritual thinking,

How important do you think theory is for creating social change? Reflect on whether ideas and knowledge are necessary, and explain your point of view.

Not much, because i think that the thing that is more important is to have the idea and execute it, even if you dont have all the things taken into account, i feel that as you advance in the project, things will fall into place and you will start to meet people who think like you, so in the end you will create a way to figure it out.

this song is inspired by bloody sunday massacre in Ireland when british soldiers shot and killed 14 unarmed civil rights protesters, this song matters because it can have an impact in todays world with every war for example or opression it is also a song that searches for peace and emptiness

Why do you think some social or political problems become more visible when artists represent them, while others remain invisible?

well i think its obvious because artists have more alcance , and this makes some problems be visible to the masses, i believe that this is a very powerful way to give more visibility to some problems that are never talked by the government or the society and i also believe that artist do have an impact and sometimes it can be powerful than others, me personally i believe that if my favorite singer would pronounce about a global problematic this would have an impact in my life and my point of view on this, also i believe this is beautiful way in you could express something that is happening in the world, and maybe art would resonate more in people than a speech or something that is expressed verbally, so the impact is different when artist represent them
