"The ways we perceive the world we live in are translated into the ways we express the world through acts of communication (pg7. why i still want my MTV)" One way of expressing communication is through our bodies and through our bodies we can communicate via music or television. We have now started to combine both music and television through music videos. Music videos as i read are said to be expressive acts to understanding the world. There are very strong issues of dichotomy when dealing with music videos. According the dictionary.com dichotomy is a division into two mutually exclusive, opposed, or contradictory groups. One such group is women. In one video they will be wearing almost nothing and fawning over one man and in the next music video they will be singing of womens self empowerment. There are so many other music videos which are very contridicting to each other but that will never change, its what makes the world go round and it keeps the audiences interested.
Below are some example of music videos- The first one is by the artist Ciara and is dealing with how men and women are put on different pedestals and how women need to be more empowered and not let men walk all over them.

The next one is a typical music video where women are throwing themselves all over the men.
