I think “hearing” is just like noticing the noise around you and “listening” is like actually paying attention to the sound. What I mean is, for example, when you’re listening to a podcast, you’re paying attention to the story or information they are telling you. And when you hear music, you just want to dance and not pay attention to the lyrics of the song, unless you are sad, of course. We make choices about what we’re listening to. We listen to what we think is important. It’s just like when you pay attention in math class because you know it’s important to pass this course. Maybe a structural features such as social class inform how we listen, because if we compare the things that a poor person and a rich person are interested in listening to, we notice a certain difference. A rich person is usually listening to things that have to do with their major interests, but you know what? Such an irony, because poor people might be interested in listening to how to become one of them (rich people).

Schafer and Krukowski refer to the relationship between sound and space, giving the particularities of each. Schafer talks about what our arguments should look like so that when people see them, they find them easy to read. When Schafer says, “it also… makes their relevance and meaning clear to your readers,” he explains that your writing should be clear, and not vary too much in your argumentation by saying that it should be easy to read. Krukowski talks about how technology has changed the relationship between space and sound. According to Krukowski, “our voices carry further forward than they ever did before, thanks to digital media,” which means that, thanks to technology, according to him, we are gradually losing the communication we had before without headphones. Since each one now has its own bubble of space, Technically, you could say that I disagree with him since I love my “bubble”.
