Culture of Law. The number of pop currently clogs the FM channels,
exposing listeners to radio a message to take unwise about
"love of self". We all know the shortcomings of modern music, but
air tapped into something specifically wrong about this generation.
The piece is called "Scars your beautiful" and is designed by Canadian
pop singer Alessia Cara. In it, the child prodigy 20 years intones a
Anthem ostensibly about self love and acceptance and the importance of
rejecting the enemies who criticize you. On the surface, this looks like a
perfect
a healthy message for his audience, I speculate are mostly
teen (and single women in their late twenties-early
thirty years).
The song encourages young girls entering Women and the insecurity of their
social identity to accept that it is normal to be different and to make
the bubble you live now and how you fit in is only
temporary and does not prejudge the world over there.
It's enough. Build your self-esteem and have the thought "big picture" is
important when you become an independent adult and try to find a
employment, a new and improved social circle, or even your own family. but
as
"Scars your beautiful" continues and the voice of Cara begins to assert
itself, the underlying message twists in a intentioned or not
does a disservice to both jaded and junior millennium.
The transfer of "Scars your beautiful," the anthem of hope to toxic
Interestingly cap resembles the regressive left politics
buzzwords. "Refugees Welcome", "Love Trumps Hate", "Black Lives Matter" all
just seem at first glance because they appeal to your emotions and make you
a person feel as morally good to believe in them. However, when put
in context and examined carefully for what they represent, these mantras
reveal
themselves as pests and tasteless.
Similarly, "Scars your beautiful" overcompensate with his You-Go-Girl ™
messages and common well-places to appease egocentric and too
sensitive young. Starting with the reasonable belief that beauty can be
deep skin or sung, "deeper than the eyes can find the" Song
choir then jumps to the assumption that all the things that go unnoticed on
you are beautiful nature:
* "You should know that you are beautiful just the way you are and you do
not have
to change a thing the world could change his heart "*
Although these words can resonate with an ingenue every day, those in the
real world that broke out of their bubble, trying to
make a name for themselves and earn more wins against
regular grinding cuff, will immediately know that the foregoing is a
imposture. A simple idyll for idling of mind.
The real world is the myth of Sisyphus. The slope of the steep hill is not

In reality, "the world" has its own natural laws and modus operandi

the power is in your ability to * change * to suit your environment, improve

The problem with "Scars your beautiful" Is it grows like living tips
Cultural relativism fallacious idea that all the "different" (or
crops) are unique nature in a good and healthy and, therefore,
it is "the world" is wrong and must change when it processes
unfairly.
This notion fuels our "me, me, me culture right in insisting that
no matter what others say or think or how the world treats you, you are
a super special snowflake and should not improve you a teensy
little ... because you are special ( "we are stars and we are beautiful").
And if the
world rejects you or judge you or seems to discriminate against you,
congratulations here is your certified victim card you special.
You have your card of the victim?
All you have to do is watch the music video (see above) to enter the
inherent flaws and contradictions in Cara's words. The video plays up
the diversity ™ by profiling several women and men (the question of why men
are
included when the song is addressed to a young girl remains unanswered) of
different color, age, size and sex .... The problem with this type of
Is the diversity ™ assumes these different groups have separate but
equal values, properties, and events.
Suddenly misfortunes eyelashes and hair extensions hold a candle to
Children suffering from cancer. A woman passively watching fat acceptance
is now equal to a woman who goes to the gym and getting scammed. But cancer
is
a struggle; Aesthetic concerns are not. Committing to form
is not equal to be obese, but the solution.
In addition, the music video glorifying a man with a disorder of gender
identity
embracing his delirium, even if the song advises later against gifts
for eating disorders:
* "She has dreams like a desire, she dies of hunger [...] She does not see
her
perfect, it does not include it worth it "*
So what is the consistent philosophy to "Scars your brother"? The
not, so long as you feel good about yourself no matter what you
special person.
The oriented miserably ill watch this video and shout, "Harry, are you
trying to tell the little girl fight against cancer is not brave? ". Save
knowledge of the obvious players, I will answer this question by adding that
I'm not criticizing individuals video shows Cara. Some of them,
such as children with cancer are real victims of real struggles. I am
critical the message of the underlying video and how he mistaken
impressionable listeners abandoning personal responsibility and
reorienting their sense of dislocation on the fault of the company alone.
This is what "Scars your beautiful" Pander finally.
I am sure that Cara is a young and talented decent worthy of its success.
Some of his music is catchy, too, and some of his words, I can agree with.
Clearly his music, like Lady Gaga, she was chosen for her on
appearances, but embraced his true self, breaking away from its bubble, and
went
to obtain international recognition and success of his music
capabilities. Well done to her. All of us return to the Kings can respect
that
resilience and courage.
Unfortunately, it seems Cara misinterpreted its own virtues and
than expected misinterpretation on many of the vices of Western culture. the
your bad-ass in his music transmits a bitter tone reflects a
teen title that comes with having an iPhone removed for excessive use.
In general, female contraception pop music tends to be very idealistic and
feel good (mother). It nourishes the listener and reassuring without
the paternalism force tough love. While raising in a surface,
in-the-moment kind of way, "your beautiful Scars" is another example of
how subliminal messages of popular culture are grooming a new generation of
embarrassment,
unemployment, narcissistic victims incapable of self-reflection and obsessed
with "self-expression".
