National Identity in American Oxygen by Rihanna

In Rihanna's music video 'American Oxygen' there is a lot of embedded ideology about america and its people for example there are clips of slavery and Obama speaking, there is also lyrics about the 'america dream'. She also repeats "this is the new america, we are the new america" this shows that the world is changing and everything is "new" and we need to adapt to this and not discriminate against anyone. Rihanna is from Barbados but has moved to live in America so she is in fact an immigrant herself. At the end of this music video there are lots of images of children each from different nationalities all in america, this shows that the new generation is changing.
