We in the mirror
We, the people, have the power. But 'we' is the result of 'you' and 'me', together with many others. In other words, what we can do to change the world is the result of many individual actions.
Sure, you know who Michael Jackson is. According to Wikipedia, he is “the most awarded artist in the history of popular music and one of the best-selling music artists
of all time”. You have probably heard his songs and it is even possible that you have tried one of his dance moves.
But what you may not know is that he has also some songs
that show his personal commitment. Perhaps you have heard these songs, but you don't understand what the lyrics say.
Let’s watch the official video clip and listen to one of them, Man in the Mirror. Pay special attention to the images,
which were chosen by Michael Jackson himself.
