Dreams In Music: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dreams lead to false hopes and are deceiving! That’s at least what some say. But throughout the dream unit we have seen and have read about achieving our dreams and not going the distance. It is worth it to dream because dreams give us hope and purpose, working hard at our dreams can have a great outcome, and Dreams can lead to more than we can imagine.

A dream is to envision another life or characteristic that could be better or worse than what the person already has. In the case of most people it is a dream that is positive. People mainly are selfish dreamers who dream only about themselves but there are some who dream about the world or others such as friends and family. Two examples of these types of dreamers are Mama from the play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry and Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech “I Have a Dream”. In Dr. King’s speech he brings up that his dream is not only for him but for others with the same problem. He is a caring dreamer, one who believes others come first then himself. Mama is also a dreamer of this sort. Her dreams are for her

“The American dream means life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth (“American Dream 2017”)”. These dreams that were mentioned, all relate back to the American dream. John Steinbeck showed in the book Of Mice and Men that your dreams can keep you going. Nobody in the book Of Mice and Men achieved or met their goals, but it made their life meaningful to them. “As soon as you begin to pursue a dream, your life wakes up and everything has a meaning (“Barbara Sher Quotes

Dreams are worth dreaming. They give people goals and make them work hard to achieve something they want. Many famous and inspiring people we know today wouldn’t be who they are if they hadn’t chased their dreams. For example, Martin Luther King Jr.. He had a vision that race would not affect how people were treated. He opened the eyes of many people and took part in many movements until he finally achieved his dream, and now today, most colored people have the same respect as white people do. The Declaration of Independence is another example. Everyone who signed that document had a dream that they would be independent from Britain. They all fought in a war together and argued together, and in the end they won, and changed our society to

Millions of people in the world listen to music for all different reasons. Most people all over the world listen to different genres of music in order to relax, but not too many people pay attention to the actual lyrics of a song. If you listen to the lyrics of a song you will realize that many songs have important messages or themes to them. An example of this is the lyrics of the song “Changes” by Tupac Shakur. If you listen to this song, you will realize that Tupac raps about not only the problems that African Americans face from society, but also the struggles that poor people in society have to endure and overcome. Many

Everyone has a dream. The dream is something that no one can take away from you. The dream is your world to make. You are the creator. Some dreams are very beautiful but not every dream can be accomplished.

A dream is something that someone should strive to do to make themselves a better person and provide for themselves, not to look good for other people. Being that the dream is categorized this way, some people may not be able to achieve it. Not every citizen has the ability to make a lump sum of money and be able to afford material things. When a citizen realizes this they feel like a failure because

Dreams are very important to one’s well-being. To achieve one’s dream, you must always work you hardest, and ignore the hate and doubt that other people say or express. Hard work is very important to achieving one’s goal. You can’t just obtain success without putting in the work.

Americans have become consumed by the world of college athletics. This excitement can be seen all around us. Here at the University of Florida, we experience the energy of division I college sports every day. Whether we choose to participate on football game days, wear Gator athletic apparel, or make conversation every day revolving around topics such as “Tebow’s non-existent NFL career” or “that one basketball player that kept us out of the championship”, the star athletes of our universities become household names across the country. Although it seems to be a life of fame and fortune for these individuals that live the life of a star student athlete, it comes at a cost. Today, college athletes are exploited because of the lack of

Dreams! We all have dreams. Desires! We all have desires. Deep down, we have our truest, most personal ambitions we want to achieve.

Everybody has a dream. As humans, we all have individual desires. Dreams provide a mental map and help people plan their future actions. Also, dreams motivate people. The thought of being able to get something you have always wanted is such a motivating thought for people.

Everyone wishes for something in their life. People will even call them dreams. Now everyone dreams of a future for themselves. A dream can be anything, like getting a job you always wanted. A life that you wanted or even be equal, or a fantasy.

We live in world where music and art can express feelings and even express situations such as racism and terrorism. Racism is practically the most talked about issue in songs due to happening every day. One of the most famous speech and influencers in the world was “I have a dream” by Martin Luther King Jr. King states in the speech “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”. Whites and color people did not get along due to their skin color differences. This made hate each other but many others like Martin Luther King just wanted peace and love. Therefore the following artists Shakur, and Mathers, Bob Marley, John Lennon and The Black Eyed Peas all wrote songs to protest against racism and terrorism to unite the world.

Everybody in life has a different dream. They all have different views and live life different. No two humans are the same. Some people’s dreams are to be the most successful they could be, no matter how much they make. Others believe that as long as they have family, there is nothing else in the world they need. There is also a belief that the only way they can be called successful is if they have all the money in the world. In A Raisin in the Sun, the Youngers show us that not all people have the same kind of dreams. The American Dream is the idea of aspiring to have a better life with a family, home, opportunities, money, and security. It is an idea that not everyone will achieve.

Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” is one of the most famous quotes in the history of the United States, said by John Kennedy, a former president. Following this adage is truly very important in any society, not just in the US. Many instances in history have shown time and time again that if people strive to solve the problems in their community, the problems can be resolved much more quickly. One person cannot make the roads safer by himself or improve the entire country’s economy, but if everyone contributes, there is no limit to what can be done.
