Michael was a huge advocate of the state of this world. His song " Earth Song" speaks about a lot of environmental issues. Michael has spoke out against animals being hunted, Forrest Fires, Wars and dying children. Michael has used his fame to bring attention to many of these issues in the world. He has said that he not only feels like his fame is an opportunity for him to spread his messages, but he also feels that it is his duty. The world puts more interest in the other planets and tries to understand whats going on out there, when they haven’t even took the time to fully understand whats going on here on Earth. There are children dying everyday and Michael said that it pains him to see how far we have advanced technologically in this world, yet we do so little for our children. I totally agree with him. I mean there is millions of dollars being given away in the lottery to one family, but yet the government cant seem to afford to feed a hungry family, help a homeless person or get extra text books for our public schools.
Why must the world continue to basically throw away millions and at the same time speak of how they don't have enough money to help others? Michael also spoke about Gandhi and how he wanted to gain freedom for India without using any weapons. I think it's terrible how the world spends so much time talking about how we want peace and yet we try to solve those problems with wars. Like Michael said in his song Beat It " They'll kick you, then they beat you, Then they'll tell you it's fair. " The wining side in the wars believe they have had a fair fight, but really all they have achieved was taking away innocent lives. The underlying problems are still there. Michael saw wonder in every living thing and he always wanted this world to be a better place. I hope that someday we can all come together and make a change.
