Beyonce's Song 'Run The World'

“Run the World” is an influential song written by American singer-songwriter Beyoncé which encourages feminism. While the singer herself might not be flawless, she is still a good role model to men, women, and children everywhere. As a loyal fan of Beyoncé, I have witnessed her do many great things that make a difference in this world. In particular, she has promoted the idea that we should all be ourselves and not someone else. Also, she is benevolent as she has done a lot of charity work. As for this song, it is a one of her best works as it conveys a powerful message not only to women, but to men as well. The purpose of the song is not to provoke anyone, but to promote equality between individuals regardless of their gender.
Beyoncé wants to empower women and help them be proud while at the same time she goes to great lengths to ensure that men should not feel ashamed of who they are. Through the video, she tries to convince the viewer that women are independent and can handle many things without a man’s assistance. This shows a significant change between this generation and earlier ones. For example, women did not have the right to vote in the past. Also, they were expected to do chores around the house such as cooking, cleaning, and taking care of their children while their
spouses went to work for the whole day. With the evolution of feminism today, things have changed and this song proves it. It informs the viewer that women now have the right to vote and that the rule about a woman not being allowed to work a certain job due to her gender no longer applies in today’s society. A woman can now become an engineer if she wanted to just like a man being interested in a nursing career can become a nurse.
Beyoncé’s song isn’t meant to harm or offend anyone but to propagate equality between men and women. While it has had varied reviews, the song did make her message loud and clear. Some people have gotten the right idea about the song, but others, such as anti-feminists, have criticized it heavily without fully understanding it. They would think that it universally degrades men and labels them as inferior while putting women in charge of everything as dictators. However, if they listen to the song and watch the music video attentively several times, they would eventually come to realize that the song does not pose a threat to them. This would also show them that Beyoncé is indeed a good person and accepts everyone for who they are and clearly wants everyone around her to live equally. Therefore, this song is important because it underscores the importance of the value of gender equality.
Several groups of people would be interested in learning more about this song, each for a certain reason.
For example, Beyoncé’s fans would be the most supportive as they would do whatever they can to help her make her song a success. Since they are the ones who know her more than anyone else, they could try to dispel any confusion or misunderstanding surrounding the message of her song. However, feminists would be the most interested as they would view the song as supportive of their cause. By listening to the song, watching the video, and understanding the message, it would be clear to them that Beyoncé is a member of their community, asking for equality without trying to hurt
anyone.
While analyzing this topic might be a good experience, it can also come with some difficulties here and there. For example, I might have trouble with sorting out my information. This can be solved by taking notes of what is happening in the video, or summarizing the plot part by part. Then, I would try to examine the meaning of each part of the video and write down what I think they symbolize or represent. This would help me figure out what to write in each paragraph, thus causing my essay to be organized. Also, I could have problems with transitioning between paragraphs and using proper sentence structure while working on this paper. The best thing to do is to free write and then edit the rough draft myself and, then, through peer review, which would allow me to see my essay through the eyes of someone else. Finally, some people might disagree with the song, believing that it actually demeans men. This will prompt me to gather as much evidence as possible to prove them wrong.
