For my ethnographic research I wanted to better understand the history/evolution of country music, and the stereo-types that people have about country music but attending two country music concerts.
The first concert I attended was Lady Antebellum, since coming together in Nashville in 2006, the group has quickly risen to fame. Lady Antebellum has won Vocal group of the year award three years in a row. Eight of their singles went gold and four went platinum. All of this success has been achieved through the dynamic connection of the band as well as the unbelievable song writing ability. The band has a diverse fan base and have picked up fans across several different genres making them one of the most influential crossover artists.
The second concert I attended was Jake Owen. Owens overnight sucuess caused his to not have time to plan out his career according to the country music “guidelines” and because of that it was easy for him to pave his own way. Owens willingness to try new things landed his first album “Barefoot Blue Jean Nights” to become one of the year’s most successful country music albums. With the success of his first album he opened for Brad Paisley and Kenny Chesney sending him to superstar status after only a year of releasing his first album.
In reality, when is enough really enough? It is often said that everyone has needs and wants. Our needs are made up of a combination of supplies and equipments that we consider essential in order for us to survive. However, people’s wants are simply desires that we all have besides our needs. Most people make every effort to improve lifestyles to have better conditions for themselves as well as for their families. However, a person’s needs, comforts, and luxuries will drastically vary depending on their
diction and not just seeing a movie for seeing sake. Although I was in secondary school, I had developed a deep taste for movies with strong themes ranging from crime to romance and epic movies that have good storytelling and are infused with good music. With our passion for filmmaking, my friends and I once tried to shoot a movie, but due to the unavailability of adults with their busy schedule, we couldn’t go on with it, but we pulled all the energies which was supposed to go into the movie and…

and agitated overture (interrupted by a wistful middle section) we observe Costanza, standing beside a boulder, facing the sea. On the boulder, she is laboriously carving an inscription that chronicles her supposed desertion. Haydn’s instrumental music suggests this activity, as well as delineating the characters, their emotional states, and their responses to each other; later in the opera he will associate the violin with Costanza, the flute with Silvia, the cello with Gernando, and the bassoon…
20 percent for R&B and hip-hop songs, 36 percent for country songs, and 77 percent for rap songs.” Teens spend significant amounts of time listening to music, with the average teen listening to somewhere between 1.5 to 2.5 hours of music a day. The proliferation of iPods and cell phones means the music is highly portable and many listen to music while doing other things like homework and chores. I believe that the glorification of it in music may be a factor in increasing consumption, because when…

his `best work' because of the light and shading that the paint have. Mountain Brook was made with luminism style. This painting is a quiet woodland scene in White Mountain of New Hamsphire, in contrast; the Civil War was raging across all the country. Therefore with his bird and landscape, he wanted to represent the nature's silent beauty; and during the Civil War, it represented nature as a silent witness to battlefield devastation.

economic, and technological interconnectedness” (Vanderzanden). First aspect considered is politics. Now that individuals have the ability to easily travel or contact someone across the globe, countries have been more connected and if something occurs in one country it can have an impact on another country. Issues such as terrorism, climate change, disease, international business, and international crime can involve more than one state. Of course when states have to work some issues may arise. In…
better. The more perspective input that people put into something, the bigger the idea will grow and change. This fact has been proven from many fields. Sports have evolved from simple hand offs to passing and play action passes, music has expanded from bluegrass and country to rap and hip hop, rhythm and blues, pop, heavy metal, and instrumental. None of that would have been possible without the influence of different cultures and diversity. The role of women have had an influence on art as well…
