PART A

What is the thesis, or central idea?

Hong Kong’s need for independence from China

How does global popular music invite active participation?

Mainstream popular music has become more political since the 2016 national elections and popular music should tackle an increased number of social issues since it will create awareness of the same (Street, et.al, 2015).

How does popular music connect to social and political contexts of the people who make and use it?

Generally speaking, most of the musicians have been currently using their music to impact social change. There is however some few characters here and there who tend to avoid social issues, however, unintentionally. Some of the rare anti-war sentiments are made by composers such as Dylan Bob of the United States as well as Miriam Makeba from South Africa who sings about government challenges and anti-apartheid.

How will you open your paper?

I will open the paper by explaining the intended meaning of the song.

What is your second point, and how does it relate to your central thesis/question?

Emergence of local parties in Hong Kong- The formation of these parties in Hong Kong show the need for independence from China.

If you have three or more points, name them here:

More conflicts between mainlanders and locals- the Hong Kong locals are unwilling to let mainlanders into the island.
