Our group chose Speak To The Hand by Lakita Garth.
This song talks about the health
risks of casual sex, and sexual encounters. We chose it because of its positive message
and the good results that would take place in the event this concept would be heeded. We
also chose it because of its rapid, up beat tempo that stimulates movement, which is an
excellent way to keep fit.First of all, the message that is being exhibited is that abstinence should be
exercised, no sex is the safest sex and that excuses will not protect you from reality. It
presents all the defenses employed such as, dysfunctional family, no will power, been
incarcerated, peer pressure, its only their job, they needed the money, they were going
to get married eventually, its their body its their choice and even that whatever
happens, happens. Speak To The Hand lets you know that excuses are not O.
K., and
says that If you know who you are and what you are supposed to do then you wouldnt
continue to do what you do. It urges listeners to seek and find, to not let their eyes go
blind and to not let the wrong things influence their minds. Examples of this would be
sexually stimulating movies, ads, friends, television programs, magazines, music or
dressing provocatively.
Many bad aftereffects can be produced by chance intimate relationships. Among
these are unwanted pregnancy, spread of disease, virus or infection or mental damages.
The most irrepressible effect is the chance of disease. The many afflictions that you leave
yourself open for are innumerable. An example of this would be, Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS, that eventually would deteriorate your immune system.
Also, theres Herpes that causes sores on the genitals, Chlamydia which causes pain while
urinating and severe lower abdominal pain or Gonorrhea which causes pelvic
inflammatory disease.
Another reason this song was chosen was because of its accelerated tempo. A
rapid beat, accompanied by a positive message influences mood which is a fundamental
piece of holistic health. It motivates you to move by dance, which is an excellent form of
exercise. Exercise speeds the rate oxygen reaches the bloodstream, which causes clearer,
faster more efficient thinking, makes you feel and look more healthy and even increases
your mood.In conclusion, Speak To The Hand by Lakita Garth is a positive and enriching
song that although teaches right from wrong, does so in a non-preaching and
non-lecturing manner. It is a outstanding way to reach people and educate them on the
dangers and trouble that may result from unplanned and out-of-wedlock sexual
encounters.Words
