The world lost one of the significant musical artists of the 20th century 40 years ago this month in John Lennon. Pick a Lennon song (other than "Imagine") that you believe best defines Lennon's impact on world culture and international relations. In this season of giving, of universal love, of humanity---whether you celebrate Christmas, Hannukah. Kwanzaa, or nothing at all---it is only appropriate to contemplate our place on earth. Lennon's words did that. His anthem was to Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

Your assignment is to find a piece (not Imagine) that does it for you and tell me why.

'Happy Xmas (War Is Over)'

From: 1971 Single

Considering the way he dismantled religion on 1970's 'God,' Lennon might be the last person you'd expect to release what's become a perennial holiday favorite. Ever the provocateur, Lennon took the opportunity to encourage Yuletide revelers toward a broader sense of pacifism.

My favorite song from John Lennon, is "Power to the people", which not only got amazing lyrics but I believe really showed us Lennon's impact on society. Because the meaning behind the lyrics was about people as a whole and not a single individual. Since John Lennon was a peace advocate who wanted would peace and people to come together with no separate barrier around us. So the Power with the people, hugely emphasized that everyone has the power to do something together. Especially in the season of giving, because I think the most anyone wants is to have a world with choice, peace, and someone that loves them, that John Lennon barely got as a child.
