On May 5, 2018, Childish Gambino, who is the actor Donald Glover, released the the music video, “This is America.” The video has over 125 million views on Youtube.
Some students would say that the enjoyed the video.
Senior Brielle Valet said, “If we analyzed it correctly, I really liked the symbolism and the meaning behind the video. I’m not a fan of the song just because I’m not into the genre, but the video was genuinely interesting.”
Sarah Kuaick said, “I thought the video was super interesting to watch and the symbolism in each of the pieces was very I retesting to follow and learn about.”
The reason why the music video is interesting is there are many things in it the symbolizes things happening with us today. Like instances of police brutality, manipulative entertainment, and other social problems.
However, some people believe that the video is over exaggerated because such problems of police brutality since incidents of police brutality are nowhere near as high compared to 1960’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Social problems are still not at favorable levels, but the only thing that is truly a problem is that madia in more manipulative that is was in those past decades. Also, given that Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram are the services that young people use, they oftern times create their own distractions. Which is covered in the music video itself.
This video however does bring forward a debate that we should always be having with one another aimed at improving the nation and its people.
