Man in the Mirror

This song done by Michael Jackson is a very interesting song for an psychoanalysis. I am going to examine just a short segment of the song.

"I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror,
(Man In The Mirror-Oh
Yeah!)
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Better Change!)
No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make The Change) "


So we can assume that the man in the mirror is Michael, himself. This then leads to what is it that he wants to change about the man in the mirror and why. So we look at what Michael has done after this song, to see what he has changed. The one thing we can see he has changed is his own body.(even though he will not admit it) His skin tone has become lighter and his nose has become smaller. So we want to know why he made these changes. This is the psychoanalysis part. We could assume that in his childhood that being black was diffucult and being white would have made his life easier. Now the changes he made were to possible become white instead of black. Yet, i really do not have a clue to what's in Michael's mind and i really do not think i want to know.
