    I agree with your answer to question 2. Music has been a part of every human culture we know about. It has been a part of our souls and religions. Digital technology has removed the soul and life force of the […]

    I understand the need for music to make the artists money, but I think money has corrupted the art behind the music. Musicians today tend to create music to make money. The make music that sells instead of making […]

    I agree with your answer to question 2. Sounds help us perceive the world around us. There are examples of blind people how can use sound to see. We have lost some our relationship with the sounds that help us […]

    Scott Levine commented on the post, Discussion question 5, on the groupblog Ways of Seeing/Ways of Hearing (LaGuardia ENG 101)

    I think the answer to question 1, is actually the complete opposite. Real time and analog music are elastic. Krukowski is say that when he played music live sometimes the song would speed up, usually around the […]

    Your answer to question one is completely accurate, but I think you could have added more about it. How does it persuade us? What do the images offer to make us think that the products will offer us a more […]

    I completely agree with your third answer that social media has enhanced and “popularized” this concept of missing out. People today see social media posts and subconsciously envy those people without much thought […]

    Scott Levine commented on the post, Discussion Question 3, on the groupblog Ways of Seeing/Ways of Hearing (LaGuardia ENG 101)

    I think you missed the point for question 1. Berger is saying that nakedness is pure. Being naked is just a lack of clothes. While nudity is expressly for the purpose of being seen. Nudity is what you find in art, […]

    In Question 2 you explain the authenticity well. But I think it’s important to mention Berger’s concept of it’s authenticity being beautiful partially due to the monetary value. And how once stripped of that, its […]
