John Lennon Essay
A Hero of Social Justice
Isaac
Abstract In our world today, and throughout the times before us, there have been people who have chosen to step forward and defend the rights of others. These people are heroes of Social Justice. Men like John Lennon, conspire to change our world and the lives of those who live in it by spreading a message of peace and fighting for our rights. As a young boy Lennon was fascinated with music and had little interest in school or being the perfect child. He quickly discovered his artistic talents and by the age of 16, had made his own band. From there, his musical talent expanded and the band ‘The Beatles’ erupted as a popular rock band. Lennon used his music to spread a message of peace and to also relay his ideas of a better world. His anti-war movements and protests are a testament of what the world could be like and more importantly what the human mind can imagine. He lives on through his incredibly idealistic music and will continue to do so. John Lennon is a Hero of Social Justice and is the image of Peace. His vision will move our culture from blindness to vision, from numbness to imagination, from war to peace.
