Open your eyes
 * For each of you:**

Tyler: The Movie Avatar from 2009 illustrated **“Nature must be respected”** throughout the whole movie. The main character, Jake Sully is a handicapped person who can use his legs and joins this military program to become an avatar which he is able to run and have full mobility of his body. In the program they he joins a Na’vi tribe and the Na’vi tribe doesn't know that he is a human. He gets attached to the tribe and the animals in the tribe and starts to get feelings for the one Na’vi. Even though the military army general is taking down the trees so he can expand the military base and destroy the Na’vi tribe by killing them, so Jake joins the tribe fighting group to take down the military, saves the Na’vi tribe, and trees because the trees they are taking down are the Na’vi home and also the trees connect to the ancestors and keep their memories that are called trees of voices. Every time they want to go remember a memory they connect their hair and the tree branch together and it bring backs their memories. Jasson: The Movie Avatar also did a great job on demonstrating ** non- **** conformity. ** The Avatars felt very comfortable in the civilization, and were satisfied with the freedom that they had, but the human army wanted to conform. They wanted to create a new world, and cut down the trees that were a very big part of the avatars lives. This meant that they wouldn't have anywhere to sleep/live. So as a community they fought back, and found a way to become free from the army. Tyler: Next, The Transcendental thought of **"Materialism"** has appeared in the song “No type” by Rae Sremmurd. He talks about money and he say “I ain't check the price (I got it) I make my own money so I spend it how I like” and he also say “ What you know about a check? What you got up in your pocket? What you spending when you shopping, dawg?” The money is takes over his life and he doesn't know how to spend it correctly or he just likes to spend it. Throughout the whole song it's about him bragging about his money.

Tyler: In addition there's another song that has **"Materialism"** and it is “Money baby” by K Camp and all he sings about is money and what he does with it. For example, he raps “ I like smoking weed, I like getting fly I like having sex, I like girls who ride I like my cup full, I like turning up I like brand new shit so this is what I love to do  I like that money baby, (money baby money baby) I like that money baby, (money baby money baby) I like that money baby, (money baby money baby) That's that shit I like (Oh, oh)” which is stating he loves money and he like to spend it on drugs that is ruining his life but he doesn't care because he loves his life. Throughout the whole song he says basically he is stating that life is amazing and love what he does even though it can run his life if he gets caught.

__ ** Cigarettes are bullies- Luis ** __

Luis: media type="youtube" key="5G1Ma02K6Ys" width="456" height="260" align="left" The commercial Cigarettes are bullies expresses //non - conformity//. In the commercials the spokesperson says “Cigarettes are bullies, don’t let tobacco control you”. Now a day everyone seems to be smoking, whether it be to seem “cool”, to fit in, or because of an addiction. The commercial stands for non conformity, because it's going against what everyone wants you to do. Tobacco companies, peers, & so called “friends” want teenagers smoking, but “cigarettes are bullies” wants to put an end to it

__** Turbo **__

Luis: The movie Turbo is an example of //non - conformity//. The main character is a snail, & everyone in the community does typical yard word, but not turbo. He has dreams of being a race car, but everyone including Chet, his right hand man tells him “you’re just a garden snail”. Turbo falls into nitrous, and ends up becoming extremely fast. He goes against the balance of nature being slow, & he becomes faster than cars. Concluding, Turbo ends up winning the Indy 500.

__** Fly **__

Luis: The song “Fly” by Hopsin is a perfect example of //materialism//, and //non - conformity//. Hopsin talks about corporations, and wealthy people playing with the lives of typical people, like you, and I. How the internet, tv shows, and society are influencing us to be followers. media type="youtube" key="JU4LcR_Vor0" width="560" height="315" align="left" Hopsin compared our world with the Matrix, everything is like a preprogrammed program, and we have yet to experience what life is actually like. In the music video it demonstrates materialism, because it shows a group of wealthy people playing a video, which was titled “People's lives”. In the the video game they were playing, it showed a man in a tug of war match against the group of wealthy men. They threw him a gold necklace, and clothes, but when they threw him shoes he let go of the rope. It was symbolic, because it meant that we give into needing materialistic things in order to feel popular, or “cool”. Hopsin is trying to open everyone's eyes, and wants people to go against the “norm”.

“ I was taught that education is the only way to make it

Then how'd I get so much money inside my savings?

My teachers never saw the heights that I was fucking aiming

Did the man who invented college, go to college? Hm, okay then

Am I the only one that noticed humans on the same shit?

Y'all thoughts are sailing on the same ship

And if that's the case, then that's the reason that you ain't shit

Let me enlighten you my niggas, just let your brain drift

First of all, the best type of marketing is marketing that doesn't feel like marketing

It makes the people feel like they a part of it

And when it's done right, corporations think it’s marvelous

They feed us these ideas and then we place 'em in our hearts to sit

It's why players are good at getting chicks

It's why Nike is good at selling kicks

It's why Disney is loved by all the kids

Why McDonald's owners are super rich, we too blinded to ever see 'em pitch

See when this happens we take our health, wealth, lives and just hand them off

Thinking that we did this from organic thoughts

I know you seen parents trick kids with candy, toys, and Santa Claus

The same method is used to trap adults

But instead of candy it's with money, religion, drugs and alcohol

Mention that shit and it's gon' arouse us all

I done seen niggas get into fights over cigarettes like a pack of dogs

They get you hooked and then they laugh at y'all

I really hate to break it to you but your life's being played with

You have not witnessed the world cause you're stuck in the Matrix

Everything we have been taught was all a lie

Open your eyes, open your mind, and fly

Man, can't you see we're robots who know not what we do when we got no shot

In the real world until we climb out of this ice cold box

Your whole life has been part of a whole plot

To keep you at the bottom while they on top, stay quiet, then they won't stop

They always tryna show us what we don't got

They do it to all of us 'til we finally break and go cop a gold watch

Knowing we need the cash for rent

My ass is sick just thinking about how rich and powerful all these bastards get

They package ideas like it's oxygen

They make us feel like if we ain't got it, we fucked and we cannot fit in

This fucking system is not your friend

And understand they controlling your thoughts cause they got a lot to win

Niggas get turned away when I mention this

Ignorance is bliss but I don't give a fuck, I won't censor shit

The Matrix is real when you done entered it

It's way too intricate for you to ever realize that, you fucking simpleton

I really hate to break it to you but your life's being played with

You have not witnessed the world cause you're stuck in the Matrix

Everything we have been taught was all a lie

Open your eyes, open your mind, and fly

Yo, fuck Hollywood, fuck all these reality shows

Making us feel lame unless we blowing stacks on new clothes

Making us feel like we ain't cool unless we have a few hoes

Making us feel like we ugly, unless we have a new nose

I see naturally beautiful women get Botox, fake tits

Fake lips, they so brainwashed and it doesn't make sense

Focus on your life and the path you're pursuing

Cause y'all too busy worried about what Kim Kardashian's doing

Check it, most of this shit that you sheep are watching on television

Is fake as fuck and is not real, I rebel against it

It's the Devil's business, they just reel y'all in

If they say it, we do it, yo, I'm tryna tell y'all man

The system created the stereotype for the Black image

That's why my people are scared to be different, why don't you get it?

I'm done practicing these ridiculous rituals

It's time I become a real individual and just do me

I really hate to break it to you but your life's being played with

You have not witnessed the world cause you're stuck in the Matrix

Everything we have been taught was all a lie

Open your eyes, open your mind, and fly

Use your mind, be yourself

And, and nobody else but you

You and the meaning of life has no rules, no rules, no rules

Fly away

Fly away

Fly, and fly, away

Life's too short just live it

The world is just complete

Just go and get it, it's beautiful”

Jasson: I n the song Power by Young Thug, Young thug states,” First you get that money then you get that power.” Young thug basically implying that in today’s world money is something that gives you power. Although In today’s generation many unintelligent people make money off of very idiotic inventions, statements,or videos that easily grasps the human mind. So is power really based on the measurement of money? Power should be based on authority,and position in work field, but because of **material corruption** money is put first.
 * Jasson Morales**
 * Is Money Really Power? **

Jasson: C.R.E.A.M by WU-TANG CLAN is a excellent example of **material** ** corruption ** song. The word C.R.E.A.M stands for "cash rules everything around me". This is a very blasphemous comment to make because your placing cash first. A piece of paper shouldn't determine how someone lives there life. A small material like money has been a huge method of corruption.
