Look inside to look outside

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place

By Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror is showing the reflectiveness and perspective that we as humans need. The point of this song is to make you think about what you could do for the world not what the world could do for you. Michael is saying that you need to do what you can the help other people and the world. This is r

eflective because you have to look at yourself and question if its right thing to do or if you should push yourself to do better. This song transcends time because there will always be things that need to be improved also because people will always need to look in the mirror and see if they like what they see. Transcends culture because every culture no matter who they are will always strive to be better. Like in Coehlo's The Alchemist the alchemist tells Santiago that everything strives to be better than what they are. This is like what Michael is saying because he wants you to look at your self and realizes that you need to help make the world a better place and in doing that you change yourself. Change thats the message that we all have to embrace because everything is changing.
