PORTFOLIO TASK D
MUSIC VIDEO, CHALLENGING STEREOTYPES
Women around Europe feel betrayed by a young polish musician. She has been stereotyped and also criticized by almost everyone that had laid eyes on her daunting music video. In this summary, following a short video clip based on a research carried out amongst random individuals with human rights and human values at the tip of their tongue. This research was carried out by a BBC journalist. A female polish musician names Donatan- Cleo. 1 in every 3 people in Poland have watched this video and a staggering 16million viewers have seen this video worldwide. A comment by a critic states, “This song has no context”. Another critic indicated that “this behaviour should not be tolerated by women all over the world.” In the words of the singer, she herself said, “This is what the Lord gave me and I would flaunt my myself.” This Polish musician has only made a music record to make sales but bad publicity is also good publicity and in regards to this topic, she had 16million viewers. That is good publicity. However, she is the latest victim to be criticize and stereotyped by not only the masses but also the disgusted and ashamed women of today fighting for equal rights and standing up for women as a whole in the society we live in.
