    It was really moving video clip. Beyonce has full emotion filled inside the lyrics of the song. Also the back screen was interesting because it matched with the song. I think this video and the song is specific to women by telling them that even we are women, we have a right to do what we want to do without any discrimination from men. I liked the video and it was very interesting.

    I think this is a beautiful clip by beyonce and its telling us girls that we are strong and that we shouldn’t take bullying a harassment from guys ! it is a lot to do with the whole it hurts more if a guy calls us one of those names we had on the board today it’s almost sad to think that we take it from girls because its a joke if its your friend but the second guys say it ihurts us in a million ways

    I think this is aimed towards women more because of Beyonce being such a huge role model to women . She is seen as a very strong and powerful woman.

    I dont typically like these types of videos or events, but since it was beyonce and she is so well know and considering what a good role model she is in the world to girls, that we are going to be more likely to make a difference in the world if we see beyonce suppporting this. its amazing what just a small thing can do to make a difference in the world.

    Watching this video gave me shivers, with this powerful message and Beyonce’s incredible voice to back it up was inspiring. This video reminds us that making a change is doable if we all just lend a helping hand. Many may feel like “well whats the difference if I try to do something? I’m only one person.” but the fact of the matter is we can all make a change and help those that can’t help themselves. We’re very blessed to live in such a beautiful and wealthy country but we shouldn’t take it for granted or be greedy when we have so much to give.

  9. This video was a moving video full with emotion… I love that beyonce was chosen to do this video. I think this video is relevant to our course because it’s saying that we can go anywhere and accomplish anything…

  13. I loved this video it was so moving and inspirational it made me really think about people in need of help and support, it also made me think of all the great people who help out people who need it. I feel this video is really empowering and I think Beyonce was the right person chosen to do this.

    I liked this video! It;s very impowering to see someone like Beyonce which is a huge rolemodel to girls, to show that everyone can make a change and to impower people and make them really realize what is going on in the world.

  15. I think the video is trying to say that you shouldn’t just go along with what everyone else is doing. You need to stand out and let people know that you were here. You weren’t just some random person. You made a difference. No matter how small it still changes things in a big way.
