For The Future

In the second unit of the course Equality, we studied race, class and gender. We looked at the issues that we are having currently with our president and how he is encouraging racism. It’s like he gave people permission to be racist and treat people badly in public. We also saw videos of people testing racism. How kids are influenced from their parents, media and their environment to think light skin means good and black skin means bad. We also saw a video of a black guy and white guy who dress the same and acts the same. The video shows the two guys doing the same things like looking to buy a house, getting a job, going to the hospital and we see how people treat the black guy different because of his skin color that associated him to a low class. The video also showed facts of how a black guy is more likely to get pulled over than a white guy and the rate of black person going to jail is way higher than a white person. For our action project, we had to write an article based on gender, race or class. We also had to do a toy with an advertisement, a policy and a letter to the editor from a different person's point of view. I chose the topic race and I went with a music theme. I created a toy where you can make music with it and one can change instruments by switching a card. All of this is meant to go in a time capsule and for people of the future to know and read how thing were in 2017. If interested check out my project below. Enjoy!

Who knew that music influence our emotions, thoughts and ideas. Best friends Savannah and Ace write music with many messages. They can’t be categorized into one type of music, they play different music according to their message. Their message varies from issues, politics, empowerment, inspiration, motivation, etc.

Savannah was born in Chicago and her parents are Mexican. Ace was born in New York and his parents are Danish. They come from different backgrounds, but they both believe in bringing awareness to people and helping America become more accepting of different races.

Since they were little both have been surrounded by music and they both enjoy it. They met in their teens online through a mutual friend. They were both hesitant talking through the internet with no contact, but once they started talking they realized they had things in common, but overall  they have a passion for music. Both wanted to influence others and become famous. Instead of having the competitive instinct they decided to help each other. For years they talked through the internet and shared ideas with each other that will benefit one of them or both.

Once they finished college and becoming an expert in the music business and mastering other instruments. They realized that they wanted the same thing in life and they decided to become a duo and face the world together.

They started with simple messages for the lyrics and a slow music to get a feel of how it will work out and how people will react to it. After many trial and error they got the result they wanted. They started going deep into the music and brought awareness.

Savannah’s and Ace’s music has been the encouragement for people to speak up, find their voice and fight for what is right. People love their music because of the different styles that people like. People can choose what they want to hear if it’s political or inspirational and if they want something fast, medium or slow.

Policy

Discrimination shall not be encouraged and therefore no one should treat another race differently, especially businesses. Everyone should be and feel welcomed.

Dear Editor:

I am so happy that someone shined the light on this amazing duo. They have been in the shadows for a while and they should proud of their music. Their music connects to any age and they should know that their music inspire so many people. They are role models to follow.

Some people will say their music is bad, they don’t have a solid style and they are all over the place with no focus. People also think they aren’t talented and that they shouldn’t continue their music careers,  others will say they are ok.

I say the opposite and I love how they approach issues and make the music around the message so that it goes along and helps the message get through. I would say that Savannah’s and Ace’s focus is important conflicts, inspiration and issues that go on in the world and wake us up from the coma we are living in. Everyone's so focused on their lives and the things they do that they don’t pay attention to other problems that could affect them or others. For the reason that people are so busy with their lives, they don’t give their opinions, don’t stand up for others, don’t vote for important things and they don’t notice when their rights are being violated.

I really like how Savannah and Ace started to make an impact on the world with a popular and pleasing art form. I also like how they both knew how they wanted to make a change in the world since they were little, they stayed true to themselves and they made their dreams come true. They deserve to be recognized for everything they do and to stay true to what they believe in.
