Rendering 13

The article published on the website of the newspaper "The Guardian" on May 7, 2013 is headlined 
"Lauryn Hill jailed for evading tax on $1m earnings" by The article reports about Hip-hop star, who sentenced to three months in prison after pleading guilty last year to failing to pay taxes.
Speaking of this situation it is necessary to note that Lauryn Hill, the Grammy award-winning US hip-hop artist, has been sentenced to three months in prison and an additional three months of home confinement for failing to pay taxes on about $1m (£640,000) in earnings.
It’s important to note that The singer, who largely disappeared from public view to raise her six children after a high profile career with the Fugees and then as a solo artist, pleaded guilty last year.
It is necessary to point out that Hill, 37, told a court in the US state of New Jersey on Monday that she had always meant to eventually pay the taxes but was unable to during a period of time when she dropped out of the music business.
It is important to emphasize that Hill said in a statement without explaining what exactly triggered her actions that she had needed to be able to earn so she could pay her taxes, without compromising the health and welfare of my children, and she had been being denied that.
It is interesting to note that Hill started her hip-hop career in the Fugees in the early 1990s alongside Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel before going solo in 1998 with the critically acclaimed album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
It is necessary to emphasize that although the singer has been inactive musically, she earned the money largely from music and film royalties. What is more, she also owns and operates four different companies and had been staging a comeback.
The article draws a conclusion that at the time of her arrest last year, she wrote a criticism rejecting pop culture's "climate of hostility, false entitlement, manipulation, racial prejudice, sexism and ageism".
As for me, I would like to add that over-commercialisation and its resulting restrictions and limitations can be very damaging and distorting to the inherent nature of the individual.
