Watch the video on Rastafari in Jamaica (see second link under week 8) and write about the system of symbols that you see reflected in this video. Is this version of Rastafari life different than you might have expected after seeing the faith through Marley and his music?
Some of the main systems of symbols i noticed after watching this video was the difference
in the isolation of the religious people in the community versus marley's usage of his religion to
move a masses of people. The usage of color as a symbol is also very evident such as the difference in our
understanding and definitions of the colors black and white. I feel as though this is lifestyle could be figured
out when reading out text but its probably not efficient for marley to life this lifestyle with what hes set out
to accomplish. If he was isolated like the religious people in this video being isolated wouldn't accomplish those goals.
the lines from this post move out of the box and I can't read it well..
