In Charlie Chaplin's speech in the "Great Dictator", the theme that really caught my attention was equality. It's mainly aimed for women to get the same respect as men. Men are always perceived as dominant, powerful, and superior. But, women on the other hand don't receive the same as men. Women are distinguished as powerless, weak, unintelligent, and inferior. It just proves that women aren't viewed as equally among men. Many women also refuse to accept that their role in society is to stay at home and raise children while the man works. There is many powerful women out there, and it should inspire all women to accomplish anything, without any fear of judgment. Women should be allowed to choose what they want to do in life and to pick their own identity. They shouldn't have to obey the traditional roles of society. Women can do anything that men do, and it's all possible. We still have yet to prove that even more to society now.
An issue that can relate to this theme is equality within all people. Just like the song One Day by Matisyahu, his song is about changing the world and stopping all the fighting and violence. A line of his lyrics that I really liked was when he says "One day this all will change, Treat people the same, Stop with the violence, Down with the hate." He has high hopes and faith that one day the world will come to peace and everyone will be free. He talks about the hope for that "One Day" that the world will change.
