Artifacts are analyzed using the tools and methods of several academic disciplines： sociology of music, cultural anthropology, and sociolinguistics. The history of positive statements about society or the environment in the lyrics, starting from the Romantic period, is part of this survey. As essential features of songs with a socially positive message, a range of properties are considered, for example, the image of the environment and some other structural and stylistic elements of texts. This background precedes the analysis of two songs chosen to represent the topic of the study itself. The Hebrew song of the seventies is regarded as part of the cultural heritage of the country, whose culture has traces of many cultures, whose representatives have built this young state, which in itself has a deep historical, cultural, and intercultural scope展开更多
