Peer review

The readings I completed this week really got me thinking about the transformations of music over the years. I have gained a lot more knowledge about the ethics of music and how technology has opened doors for artists and how it has affected the music world for both listeners and the artists themselves. For my response journal this week, I would like to discuss two important areas from the chapters of the book, ‘Capturing Sound’ by Mark Katz that I found really intriguing. One area would be…

monitor my learning in this course? After I complete the assigned chapter reading before class, I am going to answer the review questions for the chapter to assess my learning. This will give me feedback whether I understand or did not understand certain concepts or terminology within the reading. I will also create flashcards for terminology and vocabulary and actively review them to monitor my retention and learning in this course. Do I find this course interesting? Why or why not? How could I…

citations are intricately related to the preference topic, some of the 62 citations depend on broad relevance to the topic area. Therefore, the 62 abstracts went through a second round of scrutiny against the inclusion criteria, and based on full-text review 30 articles were selected. Following further investigation, 13 study protocols were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria, while 3 articles were added as a result of matching inclusion criteria. The final set of 20…

BitTorrent is an internet protocol which supports peer-to-peer(p2p) file sharing to hand out large amounts of data around the world. Essentially this program takes the hassle of transferring large data file from one huge server to every user over an extremely robust network connection and splits it up to multiple normal pc’s, and multiply smaller networks connections. This software is the most common form of decentralization, starting with its ease of use and wide variety of file sharing…

Arjun Nair We Raise Robots, Not Children “I felt it was better to take my life than to accept failure,” recalled Christine, a Harvard student who recently reported her suicide attempt to Harvard’s student newspaper, The Crimson. Christine toiled in high school to gain admission into Harvard, believing that an education at the prestigious institution would make her happy. Instead, the high pressure environment turned what she saw as failures into suicidal thoughts (Hatoff). This mental…

The new technology allows music to be distributed everywhere in the world. Music accompanied people when they listen to music on the radio, listen to music through their personal devices when they workout or having a trip to their destination. Music conveys ideas and concepts that the artists hope their audiences to listen. Audiences receive the messages and impressions depend on their personal depiction of their music experience, which in turn, some music allows audiences to relief their…

appropriate topic of dress at church (Lecture). Outside of school, I am a peer to peer sex educator for Planned Parenthood, because of this I own Planned Parenthood clothing. I attended three conservative churches dressed in a t-shirt, hoodie and jeans. The t-shirt is bright pink and says “Planned Parenthood” on the front in lighter baby pink. Over this, I wore a light grey zip-up sweatshirt which stated “Teen Council” on the front and “Peer Led Sex Ed” on the back. I paired this with dark jeans…

In October, members of 5.7 million U.S. households downloaded at least one unauthorized song using P to P services, according to NPD, which tracks PC usage from 11,000 households (www.pcworld.about.com, year). As one can see this is a big crime that should be dealt with asap. For instance, file sharing not only robs songwriters and recording artists of their livelihoods, it also undermines the future of music itself by depriving the industry of the resources it needs to find and develop new…

First, I review a person’s writing which when I looked didn’t have much differences as mine. The more similar things were the structure we both followed, my structure for body went from claim to evidence to commentary and then evidence again, with more commentary. However, there were some differences like my essay was significantly longer, had more paragraphs, and most important I had a counterclaim and the other person didn’t. I wasn’t worried at all in this peer review assignment because…

But the revolution of high-speed Internet and everything that came with it left a greater scar on the music industry. When music streaming became popular, there…
