The act of listening is the physiological ability to perceive sound from the surroundings by receiving vibrations through the ears, the ability to receive sounds does not require of concentration because it develops at a Subconscious level. However, listening, on the other hand, is the psychological skill that depends on consciousness to analyze and interpret the sounds you hear. The mindful decisions we make require understanding before making the decision, the influence of what we hear, see, and believe on affects the thought of deciding. Listening is therefore not just a matter of using the ears but also the eyes,  gestures,  and expressions. David Kurkowski and Murray Schafer recognize that there is a relationship between space and sounds since music plays an important role in space because according to David, sound is increasingly dependent on technology, this means that as technology evolves the kind of sounds also evolve. But Murray on the other hand says that sounds depend more on the culture aspect of feelings.

From Berger’s perspective, he suggests that the white press used photos of black protesters to expose the image of the black race being the victims and then raise awareness among white folks. My opinion is somewhere in between. People consume different kind of media, some media displays blacks as a revolutionary community and some other media presents the black community as defenders of their rights. Now with the current media I think that the way discrimination is treated is very different from how it was done before, now it is easier to give an opinion and interpret the images from a point of view other than the media but still there are still contradictory differences between people.

  • To my understanding John Berger claims publicity as a strategy of marketing where the seller displays desirable images of their products, these images we keep in our minds as memories of things we wish to have. When we acquire those thing we wished for we feel wealthy and this creates envy of each other.
  • With oils paintings people showed their belongings as a way of showing what they owned and possessed or who they were. With advertisement images nowadays they show products people would like to have, this causes people to get spend more and more getting poor making the rich richer.
  • Advertising shows an image of satisfaction when you get a product that is for sale, this makes people to think that buying the advertised product will get the same satisfaction as the person who presents it. usually people are fooled but the thought that they are going to look or be as the same people used for the  advertisement.

From the sexualized point of view women had been objectified by the interest and curiosity of men and that has been the same but it has changed in the way women had been portrayed as the woman from the interview said. “they are so immensely exaggerated” But nowadays they are more realistic. “…just aren’t real whereas photographs”. it’s more evident that women nowadays have more control over their image in different kind of media. sexuality does not play the same role in images of women today as the young lady stated; painting does nor give any information to the viewer, it  only gets what it sees but in photographs I think the views can see more in detail of an image.

The advantages of using the “entering the conversation model” helps improve  the formality of a conversation or a monologue. This method guides the writer to ackowledge how to enter a conversation with an organized structure of text by sharing constructive and practical ideas based on what people are talking about. To use this method the writer must observe and analyze the ideas of others. 

Learning how to interpret the art piece of someone helps to analyze situations more deeply. I believe every person has a different interpretation or point of view on how they see things and this build a sense of contradiction or agreement on something.
