Thanks for your corrections for last home work.

Here is the second home work :)


Q: What do you think influences a young person’s taste in music?
I think the mass media severely affects the taste in music of a young person for taste in music. Because young people just follow the trend of music before having their own taste of culture. And the mass media lead the trend. So young people delude themselves that what a type of music is heard numerous times through the mass media is their taste in music.

 

Q: How importance is it for a culture to have musical traditions?

I believe traditional music is very important. Because keeping musical traditions is inherit the spirit of ours. For example, there is Korean traditional music, named Nong-Ak performed by farmers. Korean plays the music when they work at a farm to improve the efficiency, spice up and make team work. Just knowing traditional music reminds us our root and sprit from the past. Also there is an idiom that the new is from the past. We can create new music or art based on traditional music. Musical traditions can affects present culture in many ways.

 

Q: Why Do you think countries have national anthems or songs?

National flags and anthems are symbols of countries. In the past, many countries were monarchy. At the time countries have anthems in order to show royalty to the king, for example save the queen (king) of Britain. Now it wishes freedom and prosperity. When a Korean athlete gets a medal in the Olympic Games, we can listen Korean anthem. At that time we feel more united and patriotism. Like that, national anthems make people love their own countries.

 

Q: Is this different from the kind of achievement that made people famous in the past? In what way?

When I was a child, I learned about the great mans of history at school. Many of them are war heroes because wars are the most important to survive with their family keeping their territory. So the history remembers their great achievement with their brave, strategy, wisdom and physical strength. But today, when athletes get excellent score in big games, they become famous in terms of physical strength.

 

Q: How do you think people will become famous in the future?

Now celebrities get fame by mass media for instance celebrities expose to public via TV shows, commercials, movies and news. The internet is starting to use for that people become famous. I think, it will widely use to get publicity. For example, Facebook and twitter. People who want to get fame up load their private lives or opinions about social issues, and then many people read or see their posts, pictures or mentions. After that they will become famous.
