Does Reflection Rhyme With Deception?

I'll admit when we started this assignment a while back I didn't have the slightest clue what I could or should write about. What was something interesting that would relate with people in this school and people in our age group? I really didn't know until I was recommended Music, I decided upon it and made that my topic of choice. What could I write about? Several genres, it's effect on the mainstream, Censorship, there was several topics that stemmed from Music that I could focus on and I didn't have to have the spotlight on one specific genre. Knowing this I knew that I had many paths which I could pursue and I dove into the world of blogging.

Even though I had some prior knowledge of most of the topics I touched on in my blog I did learn some interesting facts about it. On the blog which spoke of back masking for example I knew a lot of songs have a hidden message in there willingly or without prior knowledge of it but it's up to out minds to decipher what is said. Our minds have a quality to put things together even if they're not there, we might hear a sound and another one right after it and our brain will automatically fuse them and trick us into thinking we're hearing something when we're really not. This is one of the few things that really puts a hole on the controversy of back masking whether is it truly a hidden message or are we just whispering in the wind with this topic. Besides the ones that have been proven and actually acknowledged, some of the messages on various tracks are very disputed.

I've learned a few things like how in the past ten years the music industry has actually had more lawsuits and claims toward them than it had in some decades combined. This brings me to how I feel about my topic and it pretty much hasn't been swayed by my constant explorations into the realm of it's controversies and flaws. No matter how much power the music industry has over the mainstream media and air waves it still is belittled by the other severe issues plaguing the world right now at this exact moment. In English class we are discussing slavery which is as alive in the world as it has ever been, so why aren't politicians and so called world leaders out there fighting slavery than some music company who put out some song which they find offensive or incorrect for the masses. I wonder why society today will always point fingers to something or someone first than actually realize that problems are far more deeper than what someone is listening to on their way to work or in a club. The world today has to find a balance rather than tip the scale over.
