Siobhan Morris HUM 100 7-2 Short Answer: Ethics in Humanities

Identify an artifact that embodies or refers to ethical values and write one to two paragraphs stating what the ethical connection is. Examples of such artifacts are provided in the resources this week, but they may also be found in literature, other forms of music, live performing arts such as theater, and other visual arts. The artifact that embodies ethical values is the song Blackbird by The Beatles. In middle school, my 7th grade English teacher always played The Beatles when working in small groups. To this day I still remember, her facial expression every time Blackbird came on. With Paul McCarthy’s amazing vocals, and the way the words flow, fill my heart with joy. The song only has three sounds, McCarthy’s vocals, a guitar and the tapping of a foot. As the song progresses you can hear the emotion in McCarthy’s voice. The song is the key of E minor. McCarthy explains how he wrote the song as a metaphor of the struggle for black civil rights. I never knew this song had so much meaning but, it makes me love it even more. The line, “All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise” is a message to an African American woman telling her it’s her time to shine and fly away. I interpret the song as; African Americans were fighting for their lives and rights and the song was made for them to keep their hope and keep fighting for freedom.
