The violin dates back to 1565. There was dispute of who actually invented the violin but credit has been given to Amati.      For centuries, violins were a main instrument in the music industry and so they became mass produced.

They  portray the prominent issues affecting the world; from terrorism, to discrimination to bombing. It  also presents the obscure issues individuals face everyday, such as racism, bullying, and greed. The feelings of disappointment, sadness, and exclusion have been familiarized with everyone at one time or another. They use relatable emotions, and also children as examples, and that created an appeal to ethos, and motivates change among people.
