see the “Topic Proposal .pdf” and write a thesis statement for my paper. Instruction A thesis statement is a statement that expresses the central argument of your paper. It is usually 1-2 sentences in length. A good thesis statement is an arguable statement that is specific and focused. Weak thesis statements are too unspecific, or are a simple re-telling of facts, or make broad sweeping claims that are impossible to argue within the span of a 5-6 page paper.

Sample Thesis statement from ChatGPT: ” Ludwig Göransson’s score in ‘Black Panther’ not only elevates the film’s narrative but also plays a pivotal role in weaving African cultural heritage with the story’s futuristic elements, challenging conventional portrayals of African culture in mainstream cinema and reinforcing themes of identity, leadership, and legacy.”

Your first listening journal assignment is to write a full 3-page essay that provides an analysis of one musical work relevant to Gateways 1 to 21 (found in Parts I and II of our course textbook) and studied in our class meetings. Your analysis should utilize the established methodology and parameters designated in our textbook and implemented in our class discussions. I have provided you with a list of suggested topics and works for consideration, or you may select a work on based on your own interests and investigations. If you would prefer to write your paper on a work outside of the suggested works, please discuss your plan with your instructor. Please do not write your paper on a gateway selection found in your textbook as it has already been analyzed.
You have considerable flexibility regarding how you approach your topic, but please develop an organized analysis that interrogates the most prominent elements of music and the most important of the five questions that provide the organizational foundation of our discussions: What is it? How does it work? What does it mean? What is its history? Where do we go from here? Your paper should be comprised of three to five pages of written text, and it should be written in standard academic English format (double spaced/ 11 font). Please include appropriate citations and a bibliography if you choose to consult source materials (all main style sheets are acceptable), and keep in mind that all papers are electronically reviewed for plagiarism. Most importantly, make sure that you fulfill the basic parameters of this assignment in your essay.

Kovacik (2016) states, “Not only does music affect culture, but culture has a huge impact on music as well. Music often expresses the ideas and emotions of a society as a whole for that specific time, so as events and thoughts of a society are changing, the music for that time is changing too in order to fit in with what is happening in the world. During the Vietnam War, a huge amount of popular music was created to promote peace or put down the war. Musicians wanted to include the ideas of society at the time in their music, which is still something done in music today as well.”
Forum Prompt
This forum consists of three parts.
(1) Choose any listening example included in Modules 5-7, The Romantic Period” and “The Twentieth Century and Beyond”. Discuss whether Kovacik’s statement, “Not only does music affect culture, but culture has a huge impact on music as well” is true or false regarding your selected composition. In other words, does your selected composition reflect some aspect of the culture of its time? (See Kovacik’s comment regarding music and the Vietnam War.)
(2) Cite at least one source other than your textbook that supports your opinion. You may not use Wikipedia as a source.
(3) Cite your source using APA format for Internet sources.
