Analysis of Cookie Jar by Jack Johnson Jack Johnson's song, "Cookie Jar", has a powerful influence in challenging the beliefs and values ​​of Western society. The song is about blaming someone else for what you've done, hence the title Cookie Jar. The title is "Cookie Jar" because of the old saying "Whostole the cookie from the cookie jar, Who me, Yes you, No not me". This means that we are always trying to find someone else to blame, rather than ourselves, we are trying to find a scapegoat to get us out of the mess we have created. "Cookie Jar" challenges the beliefs and values ​​of Western society because, in the song, a young boy kills another young child with a gun and he says that we can't blame him. His father, the media man, the singer of the song and the director of the film, who are all characters whose job is their title, the filmmaker, etc., all say that they are not to blame either . The narrative voice in "Cookie Jar" should be embarrassed to turn on the television, because it is truly embarrassing to see what people in Western society watch today for entertainment and gossip. In Western culture the media plays an important role in shaping community values ​​and attitudes, it tells people what is currently happening and people will always be gullible and believe everything they are told on television, but Jack Johnson disputes this, in an article in his latest article. "Cookie Jar" stanza, "It was magical at first, But it let everyone down, And...... middle of paper ......d by the images shown to us at the television, the narrative voice we hear says that "we all have blood on our hands", this means that people die for the entertainment of others This is a very important stanza to prove what Jack Johnson wants the listeners to think. to themselves. He said it was everyone's fault and we can't keep blaming others for our misdeeds. We wanted entertainment and we get it, so we can't blame him. things that happen, but we can blame ourselves for wanting this kind of entertainment that can influence people and make them think that certain things are right and allowed to be done, when in fact they are very wrong. So we should. blaming ourselves and not becoming a scapegoat, which challenges the beliefs of Western society, because everyone is right in Western society..
