The images that are possitive for me are the children at the end, laughing, and the images of important people that have done a big change in society in a good way, like Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela.
The images I think are nehative are the skinny children that are starving, also the persons like Hitler, that have tried to change society in a bad way.
1. Why are the lyrics linked to the images?
The lyrics say that there are children in the street with nothing, and there are images about children starving and working hard to get some money. This also relates to the fact that there are persons who don''t care about what happens to other persons and they act in a very discriminating kind of way, like Hitler or the Ku Klux Klan.
2. How would you classify this videos and why?
I would classify them as real and sad because though we don't live it day by day, there are millions of people who doesn't have anything to eat or to protect themselves from the cold, and still, we as a society don't care and we are selfish for that.
3. Why does the singer have to do with the people who appear there?
Maybe he is related to some of them like Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela etc., because he admires them and he want to make a change in the world like they did. And the others like Hitler or the Ku Klux Klan maybe apppear, because the singer wants to send a message that expresses how people can be and how can they be mean and careless about others, like them, and he tells the audience not to be like them and to look in a mirror, and start changing ourseleves before we want to change everything.
