Plan of Investigation

Topic: Music
Theme: The impact of current affairs on the lyrics of dancehall Music

My task is to collect vital information on the impact of current affairs on the lyrics of

dancehall music. I chose to investigate this topic because of the current state of the country

and the lyrics of old and current dancehall music. As an English student this research will

help to improve both my vocabulary and writing skills. It will also improve my interpretation

skills and my overall expression in writing and summarizing pieces. This information will be

obtained from a song indicating the state of the economy and what the government has been

doing , a newspaper article about a dancehall artist that was convicted and a comic strip

depicting the effects current affairs has on dancehall lyrics and how it affects the economy.
