I feel that the most prevalent aim was success. A lot of the music that I listen to has almost everything to do with being successful. Success in the pop culture is something that every artist aims to achieve and they try to tie it with the everyday lives of their audience. Everyone can relate to this in a sense, whether its college students and even children are taught success at a young age. Being a student athlete, success is defined in everything that we do. We are pushed to achieve success from our coaches and our teammates. Not only is it basketball that we have to be successful in but we have an obligation as student as well. Success is the most important thing when dealing with these two. Some observations I made while dealing with success and liberation was that liberation was the most challenging to come up with songs. I feel as if the music that I listen to does not go that much into depth about liberation. Most liberation songs in pop culture have a lot to do with being delivered from something that helped them achieve success. From time to time you hear songs about being delivered from tragic past events like rape. The culture of pop music is about wealth, fame, power, cars, clothes and etc. I believe in a sense that pop music and the understanding of the Hindu aims are related. The concept of Hinduism is wealth, fame, and power. I think that success is defined by how much power you have and if you succeed in your occupation. Achieving your goals makes you successful. Liberation on the other hand is different than that of Hinduism. In Hinduism liberation is defines as being liberated from a crucial event, slavery and things of that sort. Liberation in the pop culture varies from being freed from college, parents, and even crucial events. Liberation does not really mean being freed from something neither major nor minor. It is about being delivered from anything no matter what it is. Thinking about these two aims was really enjoyable and overall these aims are a great way to live life.
