MUSIC INDUSTRY

Lately, I have been shocked when it comes to the different songs are very successful nowadays. As far as I can remember, I didn’t really know the reason why the songs achieve such an overwhelming victory in the music industry and, most important, how did people like it. However, I think that know I might be conscient of it. To explain the possible reasons why some current type of music is so overrated, I am going to give different examples.

When it comes to the rappers, I could say that there as been clearly changes. I still remember the time when Lil Wayne, Eminem, Jay Z used to sound on the radio. I think that the current style hip-hop music isn’t what it used to be anymore, mainly because of the lyrics of the songs and how they don’t treat the same themes as before, considering that hip-hop was a way to recriminate the injustices people where suffering, specially in the United States. Even thought, I think that a lot of people made and make money by making rap songs, even though, in my opinion its lyrics is just a bunch of nonsense sentences. Despite that, I have to say that the songs can be hilarious, and that’s maybe why those singers have so much audience. Big Shaq song is clearly an example of what I am saying. In the following video, you can hear his song which reminds me of the beginning of Stormzy.

Additionally, we must keep in mind that music industry tries to get the higher number of earnings, as any other industry. So, how could I talk about music and profits without mentioning the one and only Jake Paul. The YouTube star has revolutionised the social media since he dropped out his song It’s everyday bro. The problem comes when he and his brother got into the music industry. In my opinion their songs are an example of what music shouldn’t be but, even so, they seem to succeed taking into account the number of visualizations they get in each song they post in YouTube and Sotify and, the number of sells in iTunes. 

Finally, I would like to talk about the classic pop songs which are basically made for boybands for commercial interest. I can not stand to that type of music anymore just because it has turned into weary music style. 

As a conclusion, I can say that the music industry has every right to promote and sell any type of music, but it depends on us in making it succeed or fail and since now, it looks like people just makes victorious the kind of music which discriminates, disrespects and is characterised by being lacked of talent. 

HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER

One of my favourite tv series is How to get away with murder. It was premiered on Semptember 25^th, 2014 by the original network ABC. The series was created by Peter Nowalk. The genre that characterise it are legal drama, mystery and thriller. The cast is formed by Viola Davis (as Annalise Keating), Billy Brown (as Nate Lahey), Alfred Enoch (as Wes Gibbins), Katie Findlay (Rebecca Sutter), Jack Falahee (Connor Walsh), Matt McGorry (as Asher Millstone), Aja Naomi King (as Michaela Pratt), Karla Souza (as Laurel Castillo), Charlie Weber (as Frank Delfino), Liza Weil (as Bonnie Winterbottom) and Conrad Ricamora (as Oliver Hampton). There are 4 seasons with 15 episodes each of them.

When it comes to the plot of this series is quite difficult to explain because of the mechanism of order follows each episode and to avoid possible spoilers. Despite that, I can say that How to get away with murder is about a law professor, Annalise, who works at a prestigious Philadelphia university who, next to five of her students, becomes entwined in a murder plot. With the help of her employees and a detective from the Philadelphia Police Department, she tries to investigate who are the murderers and the reason why she was entwined with them.

The first episodes of each season are always a short anticipation which leaves the audience with suspense and curiosity. Then the episode goes by until the last minutes where there’s another anticipation leaving a clue for the audience so that we can make our own hypothesis once the episode is finished.

As a lot of the Tv series I have watched, how to get away with murder was recommended to me by my sister. She was always talking about it, especially when she was finishing some episode. I don’t really get how the writers and director are able to think about the amazing plot of this series. I really like how each action and move of any character throughout the season might seem to be insignificant but at it end it is not. I can say that is one of that Tv series that I could watched on repeat without getting tired of it. I’m looking forward for the premier of the second part of the last season.

This is the trailer of the first season of How to get away with murder:

WOMEN

As the title says, in this post I will talk about women; huge problems women still face in 2017 and how they face them. I decided to talk about it because the latest news about masculine domestic violence, the sexual raping a lot of women are suffering, between other facts, have been the straws that broke the camel’s back.

One of the many horrific problems women face is domestic violence and oppression. Women are not safe from violence; it’s a clear fact. Last month was the national domestic violence awareness month and according to the statistics, there has been 15 victims because of gender violence, which most of them are women. This number should be 0, that’s the reason why we must keep fighting for safety and non-violence assaulting.

Another of the problems women face is sexual assaulting and rape. The following table shows the statistics in Spain throughout the years, according to Instituto de la Mujer y para la Igualdad de Oportunidades. The numbers talk by themselves.

Worldwide, the picture is just as bad. The world Health Organization estimates that 35 percent of women internationally have experienced domestic violence or sexual violence in their lifetime. The International Center For Research On Women estimates that there are over 70 million child brides worldwide. 

Globally, as many as 38 percent of female homicides are committed by an intimate partner.

Unfortunately, women not only have to fight for her safety but for equality in different areas. For example, in the labour area, in politics, …

Furthermore, the reaction of women should have when it comes to all the problems they go through or even how they face the world can be summarised into a word: strength. Women have to be strong. They must fight against expectations, specially when they have to face obstacles, and bounce back, even if they have been hurt, they must keep going on no matter what. Women are just fighters. As a conclusion, I could like to say that as a woman an most of all as a human being I am obligated to fight for our rights and equality.
