1)
In the Somos Hip Hop piece, they describe hip hop
as an “important part of youth expression of social realities” to bring awareness
to many different social issues that these artists face. What makes hip hop as
a genre such a great delivery method for social expression? Why is it so important
for female voices to participate in this genre?
2)
What are some of the challenges that hip-hop has
posed for women in the industry and how are women combatting these challenges? How
are these women serving to break down cultural/gender barriers through hip-hop?
3)
In the piece by Jillian Baez, she describes how
undocumented immigrants in the United States are often depicted as
technologically illiterate, silent, and passive in the fight for rights and
protection. What are some of the ways that undocumented are utilizing social
media platforms to bring awareness to their situations? How effective is social
media at furthering these causes considering the dramatic divides that this
country faces on these immigration issues?
