Imagine that you are a young musician who has just been contacted by a major record label to sign with them. You've just received the notice from the executive you're in contact with about benefits, but they want you to respond with a detailed explanation of the kind of music you intend to bring to the table. Even though you are a young musician, though, your music is very in tune with some serious issues! Specifically, your music covers issues like Imperialism and war.
Using what you have learned about Imperialism and war in this unit, specifically neutrality versus interventionism, you will write a persuasive response to the music executive explaining your position on these issues and how it influences your music. You may take either side of these issues, but make sure to tie the two issues together and provide good details and examples to support your argument.
