Music as argument




 The producer of the stand by me video uses various elements of rhetoric to pose an argument. The play for change crew had their own style, as people from various different ethnicities, background and countries all played to the same tune that united them. The invention behind all this is music, it has the power to unite people and spread love. There were people from Africa, Europe and North America happily taking part in this video by either, playing their instrument or using their voice. The image that caught my attention was the man singing from his soul outside of his home. You could feel his passion for music personified through his body language. This video makes a strong argument against violence because it simply does not give anyone the idea of violence. Almost everyone that watches the video, will be happy afterwards because of the genuine emotions displayed. People smiling and in aw in no way displays violence.
