"Ballad of Roosevelt" and "Ballad of Landlord" embody the outcry from the downtrodden African-American community during the Great Depression. "Ballad of Roosevelt" shows how poor the majority could be‚ and the basic needs that they were forced to go without while awaiting public aid that never seemed to come.

Robin Thicke’s song “Blurred Lines” degrades women in the aspect of being “sex objects” and has an underline meaning towards men that rape is “okay”. Although “Blurred Lines” was a top summer hit back in 2013‚ many sang along to this unpleasant song just because it was catchy. The underline message might be hard to detect at first‚ but while observing the lyrics the meaning seems to become more clear. Good beats can catch the ear‚ but can meaning? For seven weeks in a row‚ “Blurred Lines” was the

In her painting‚ Plate with Wreath‚ Robin Jebavy uses everyday objects and combines them with unordinary colors as an attempt to make people change how they think about their everyday life. Jebavy herself states that her artwork is “a reference to our fragile and often precarious human condition.” The manner in which she uses color allows for the objects‚ such as plates and glasses‚ to be unrecognizable at first glance. She does this to blur the sense of reality and illusion that all people have
