I want to do my essay about Space. I think I'm either
going to do it about society in the United States or the identity of rap music.
I’m probably going to look at what our society is like; basically our culture
and what we have come to be because of it; I might compare it to identity of
other countries. I might look at how an immigrant changes from what they
originally were to what they become after living in the United States for a
long time. I can see that in my parents; they don’t seem to be the same people
they were when they came here (about 25 years ago). When they talk to their
relatives, in Armenia and Lebanon, they don’t understand each other as they did
before. I can see that their values and outlook on life has changed. If I don’t
do it on the society of the United States, then I’m going to do it on the
identity of rap music. I will look at how the identity was constructed. I will
also look at how it changed the space of different places. The last thing I
will look at is the gender roles in rap music; for example, how male rappers
usually get more famous and are more successful compared to female rappers. The
radio plays many male rappers, like Drake, Kanye West, and Jay-Z but the only
female rapper you ever hear on the radio is Nicki Minaj. It’s almost like the
girls aren’t allowed to rap; it’s more of a guy thing and that probably has to
do with the origins of rap music. Basi9cally, whether I write about American
society or the identity of rap music I will incorporate space and what that
does to the identity of a person or a group.
