Against/for the tour Beatles - Social Studies

Their were two different perspectives of the Beatles world tour, their were a large group of teenagers especially girls that were mostly for the Beatles world tour, but a majority of the older generation were against this situation.

Against the tour 

  -  A majority of the older generation of New Zealanders were against the Beatles world tour, due to the    Beatles lyrics being more sexualised towards the young teenage girls. But not only them sexualising        them but more encouraging them for sin in their life.

- Also a lot of people were against the tour not only cause of their choice of lyrics, but the way their were     outrageous majorities of crowds every where the Beatles went and a lot of the police had to restrain            girls from the Beatles so they had room to move around from place to place with big fences holding the     young teenage girls back.

For the tour 

 -  Despite the fact their was so many people against the Beatles world tour. A lot of the younger generation especially a massive majority of teenage girls were so much more for the Beatles world tour, because these young girls were so hypnotised by their looks and choice of song lyrics due to them never hearing anything like this in their lives before. It made these young girls fall for them fast because it was something new and different that they hadn't experienced before.

Hey Jude - The beatles

These are some of the lyrics from hey Jude sung by the Beatles -

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.

Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

As you can see by the lyrics it is about a heart break and they were trying to make a positive outlook on a sad situation. By writing a song about his heartbreak and saying to just let it go and not get down and out about it, but to be more positive about the situation. 

The older generation didn't like the fact they were influencing relationships, but also sexualising them. But compared to the music back in their days it was more innocent and random. So when the Beatles started realising music it was a great shock to the world and the older generation, but to the younger generation it was soul grabbing and freeing for their body. It was a revolution for history, people were mesmerised by not just their songs but them as people too.

Slave trade triangle - Social studies

Here is my blog post about the slave trade triangle and my research I will be showing my work through a song that they used and my, my maps. 

I chose the song - Wade in the water, Written by Harriet Tubman. 

Meaning - Harriet Tubman wrote this song wade in the water to tell a story of how she helped the slaves escape from the southern states to the northern states. The lyric wade in the water is like the Africans/slaves when they went to the water to wash off the scent on themselves so the dogs couldn't smell them.  

Who is Harriet Tubman - Harriet Tubman is the lady that helped at least 12 thousand Africans escape from the Southern slave states to the Northern free states. She used hidden underground rail roads to help them escape from the white men. Harriet Tubman was determined to do this after she found her way to escape and leave the slavery life she was living so she was determined to help others so she set herself a task and completed this task.

This is my  my maps with all my mapping and working I have done on this topic - 

Timeline - Social Studies

I decided to study about Rosa Parks because she lived her whole life fighting for Civil Rights which amazes me because no matter what challenges and obstacles she faced she always had hope and never gave up. She inspires me to fight for what I believe in, in life and to never give up no matter how hard it gets.But here is my timeline on Rosa Parks.
