1. What issues about life are presented in the song?
- The song Ebony and Ivory talks about Racism.
2. Is the message of the song still relevant today? Elaborate your answer.
- Yes, because a racist mindset was grown to know only the standard of beauty they have known on their place, or being fed by the society. That's why it's never ending, because the society itself should be a model to teach everyone what is right to do and not about "this is what society do, so that's the only thing we should do".
3. What lines in the song do you personally relate to and how you resolve the issue? Explain your
answer.
- "We learn to live, when we learn to give"
- We should learn not to say that they should do the same exact thing as you did to achieve something to someone who doesn't experience what you're having, because people had different kinds of privileges in life. Some are rich and some are poor. Tend to the things they can do, because there's effort within it. Give if you can offer something because giving is not always about material things, you can also give help, joy and even more greater things that life can offer.
