The "make love" part of the song often refers to the practice of free love that was growing among the American youth who denounced marriage as a tool for those who supported war and favored the traditional capitalist culture.

As John Lennon himself had undergone the sufferings of the wars, he knew the real of pain victims. The one and only healer he has mentioned for this stigma is LOVE. 
It has been well said," Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches." 
He has also emphasized on those People who already had bitter experience of witnessing wars and as a result, that left a bad taste in their mouths.  Through the song, he has tried to awake the people from their slumber as they are really not aware of what's going on in their neighbourhood and at the same time, he has warned those who are not mending their ways .]]> 2018-03-15 00:13:57 UTC https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/242145704 000743915 https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/242164608 “It just popped into my head – I remember I started giggling when I wrote it,” Meyer said. “I know I hadn’t read it anywhere before. There is no way to prove it but I think I’m the person  who invented the phrase.”

Throughout the song, he kept repeating the words- "You know the answer!" He is warning the youth to get prepared to get rid of this problem. ]]> 2018-03-15 02:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/242168052 000743915 https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/242169203 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon

An urge has been made through this song. Throughout the song, John has been so close to a  hippie anti-war slogan. He has tried to alert people by recalling the past bitter experiences. Moreover, he has asked the people to put themselves in the victims' shoes to know more about the pain. More emphasis has been laid on the words- " You know the answers" wherein answers are symbolising consequences if we don't mend our ways. ]]> 2018-03-18 19:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/243242224 000743915 https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/243255746 The song has simple and sad lyrics that makes it one-dimensional. There are some ideas that can strengthen the root messgae behind this art. If I were at John's place, I would have talked about a 'World Without Wars' to grab listeners' attention. I personally feel this would be a better way to force people to think about this problem seriously. Furthermore, it would give a balanced feel, instead of simply demonizing wars.  ]]> 2018-03-18 21:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/243255746 000743915 https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/243257658 I think title is the first thing that catches the eyes of the listeners. It is an urge for them to make a choice between 'War and Love'. I think it clearly represents the 'Cause and Effects of Wars'. The "Make Love" part of the title refers to the practice of free love whereas "Not War" is symbolizing say no to wars.   ]]> 2018-03-18 21:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/243257658 000743915 https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/243259532 The most striking part of the song is its lyrics. John has given Love as an antonym of Wars. 'Love is the answer and You know that's true' means the people who have already witnessed the terrible consequences of wars, know Spreading Love is the best solution against wars to save humans and the entire world. It can control the drastic damage done by wars. ]]> 2018-03-18 21:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/243259532 000743915 https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/243260916 “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.]]> 2018-03-18 21:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/000743915/okfsm1864jk0/wish/243260916
