This music by elvis preslin is a great example of a mass media that deals with poverty. The title is called in the ghetto, which tells me that it's going to be about some poor person. It starts off by talking about how the baby is born in a bad environment, parent's who live in a "ghetto" place. Then, it talks about if the child is not supported enough, he/she will turn out spoiled and be angry someday. There is one section where he says the kid buys a gun, steals a car, but get caught, and his mom is sad. I think this is a typical thing where if one's in a poverty cycle, these are the typical things that they do to make money. Then, the other "ghetto" people kills the man, with his gun on his hand. However, when he dies, another born in the ghetto. This means that there are people born in the ghetto while at the same time, there are people getting killed. This send out what the life of people living in the ghetto is like.

Also, this song was written by THE elvis preslin, who is one of the most famous rock star in the history. There is no way that this song is from the underground, thousands of people have heard it, and it was sang infront of thousands of people, live. This is a great way to deliver message to many people because if one is a true fan, they read the lyrics, think about it, and reflect it. I think many people shoul've gotten the message.
