Main Evidence

    Now a days we live in a society that  music is an important way to express our toughs or emotions. According to the Author Joan Morgan hip hop music can reflect that men use it to treat women  as "bitches and hos" and " this is crystal clear to me when I am listening to hip hop. yeah sistas are hurt when we hear brothers calling us bitches and hos" (604). these words it  denigrate them for a simple fact as being a woman. The treatment form that music used it can be  based on what exactly  men see women in general. On the other hand, men don't have a challenge to make their rights valid as  women do. This kind of " machismo" or dominance it  can be unintentional or intentional, moreover women have  to self respect letting their rights as human beings make them valid.

Rhetorical Analysis:

Writer's strategy 1: To involve women in a common ground.

Writer's strategy 2:It describe the actions and consequences with this kind of  state of mind.

Writer's strategy 3 it includes some proof relative to what she is talking about.

Reader Effect #1 Joan Morgan highlight her main idea about women means more than " beats or booty shaking"
Reader Effect #2 Logos is being used in describing how black women are victims of black men by killing other black males and leaving  women leading their households.
 Reader Effect #3 Effective approaches are found in the reading such as proof of U.S census a decreasing of two parent household from 74 percent to 48 percent since 1960.

Response :  My response to this reading is that everyone should be treated equal men, women and children but unfortunately cultures shape  the way we think. Our backgrounds differs to one another. In other cultures  women still are getting kill because they disrespect  their man. Sometimes thinking independently and not following our culture is a better decision that we can make. As people we should not tolerate being verbal abuse, sexual abuse or psychical abuse so  women are people and they should be treated as a human being.
