Goal: The goal of this assignment is to compare a performance of Classical music to pop/rock music using musical terminology to express your ideas.

Course Objectives:

CO-1: Identify Western music by style and era.
CO-2: Apply musical terminology, concepts and critical listening skills to a given major composer and style of music.
CO-3: Analyze the social, political, and cultural influences on Western and non-Western music.
Description:

Choose an excerpt from two concerts, one of a pop or rock concert of your choice and one of a performance of music from the Classical Era (1750-1800 AD) chosen from the list below. Watch approximately 10 minutes of each concert. (Please note: The rock or pop concert you choose should be one you watch during this course, rather than a performance you watched or attended prior to the class.)

After viewing the concert excerpts, construct a comparison of these two concerts and address the following:

1. Explain why you did or did not enjoy the concerts.

2. Evaluate similarities and differences between music in the Classical era and rock/pop music. Be sure to reference specific musical attributes of the concerts, and use musical terminology and information from the course materials to express your ideas.

3. Discuss the types of people who attended concerts in the Classical era and those who attend rock or pop concerts today, and why people attended concerts in the Classical era versus today. (Be certain to use specific information from scholarly sources to support your points about concerts during the Classical era.)

4. Analyze how new technologies, such as digital media and the internet, change the ways music is experienced.

This paper should be 750-1000 words in length. This assignment should reflect knowledge and understanding of the course materials. Points should be supported by specific information from scholarly sources and musical terminology should be used to express ideas. This paper should be written in paragraph form using complete sentences with a clear introduction and conclusion. Be sure to reference both concerts in the introduction and conclusion.

In addition to these elements, please be sure to fulfill the Requirements for Writing Assignments (see below), including citing all sources (including the concerts) both in the body of the text and in a reference page. Please note that MLA is the standard citation style in the humanities. Here are some good sources of information for Evaluating Online Resources, Citing Sources, and Writing & Grammar Resources. The video links for the concerts should be cited in the body of the text and in your reference page.

answers these questions according to the readings and the film-The Social Dilemma (Orlowski, 2020) on Netflix:
In her article, Gender, Sexuality and Social Media, Alice Marwick argues that:
Social media technologies like Twitter, Foursquare, Facebook and YouTube are spaces and tools that facilitate communication. Rather than presuming these technologies to be gender neutral, scholarship has demonstrated that information technologies can perpetuate norms of masculinity, business and engineering.

Discuss the points she makes in her piece to support this contention.

According to Theresa Senft and Safiya Umoja Noble, how is the concept of mis-interpellation significant in conversations about race in social media?
The film and readings for this week pinpoint many problems with digital media. Identify what you see as the two most significant takeaways from this material.

What can you tell me about that garment that enhances my understanding of it?  the paper will require to look at books and articles on that fashion item and they must be scholarly sources.

Do not use Wikipedia as it is not scholarly!!!

The paper only has to be 2 pages (of written text. (A FULL 2 PAGE=2x 22= 44 lines of the main text.) times new roman, size 12

it must follow the correct research paper protocol with footnotes (MLA or Chicago style). The 3rd page must be the bibliography.

MAXIMUM quotes from the reading: no more than 5 lines.

Choose a work of art in the world in which you live, defined in whatever way you prefer, and, in no fewer than 750 words, first carefully describe it so as to identify its thematic content and then situate it within the network of social relations and historical conditions you see giving shape to its meaning. Please attach one or more reproductions of the artwork at the end of your essay. (These reproductions do not count in calculating the length of your completed work, however. Respect the required word count indicated in the first paragraph, above.)

Keep in mind that you are NOT being asked to offer your opinion of the work youve chosen to discuss; youre being asked to reason historically from visual evidence.

Be sure the text you turn in is more than a series of observations but an accomplished paper one that begins with an introductory claim, develops through a series of paragraphs with smooth and logical transitions, and concludes in a fashion that accords both with your defining claim and title.

Is making art out of issues raised by globalization socially useful, neutral, or counter-productive? In what ways? How might Burtynskys documents and/or Cole’s or Luttringer’s alter the way the viewer thinks about globalization? Use a minimum of 12 photographs, 4 from each of the three photographers to discuss in detail and to support the points you make in your essay.
