Answer:

Songs like "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Give Peace a Chance" by John Lennon and "I feel like I´m fixin´to Die Rag" by Country Joe and the Fish were just 3 popular songs out of 100 that dealt with the rejection of war and were composed to promote the ideals of peace.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • "Fortunate Son" was one of the most representative songs of the antiwar movement. The song became popular during the Vietnam War. The lyrics of the song narrate the thoughts of a humble man who is being recruited for the Vietnam War and who is not a "Fortunate Son" of a powerful upper class.

  • "Give Peace a Chance" was recorded on June 1, 1969 in a room of the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal Canada. This song is a symbol of protest against the horror of the Gulf war against Irak, and has been sung by peace activists around the world.

  • "I feel like I´m fixin´to Die Rag" is a song that use sarcastic language mentioning the conditions to join the Vietnam War. For example, he advises families to send their children to war, to be "the first to have them back in a drawer."
