1-Hearing is the demonstration of seeing sound and accepting sound waves or vibrations through your ear.
Listenings are the demonstration or hearing a sound and understanding what you hear. Listening prompts learning.
Hearing is an automatic demonstration where you get vibrations through your ears. Listening is an aptitude that lets the sound you hear experience your mind to deal with its importance. When we hear, we use only our ears and do not pay attention or analyze what is happening. However, when we listen, we pay attention and analyze what is being heard since we involve our brain.
For example: when walking on the streets, we can hear the cars, people talking, dogs barking, birds chirping, but that is just our surroundings. We don’t analyze what’s going on compared to the siren of an ambulance, a person calling our name, or a friend having a conversation with us.

2- According to Shafer and Krukowski, space and sound have a similarity. They believe that the sound and music that surrounds us are produced by emotion and often by noise. For Schafer, sound can come from the culture and environment that surrounds us. It can also reflect the things that happen to us and what we hear around us. Schafer also talks about the correct way to give an argument so that another person can understand. So well, it explains the clarity that our writing must have so that it is easy to interpret. However, Krukowski is based more on technology’s changing the relationship between space and sound. He explains that social interactions within space are becoming less accessible due to technology. The use of technology is causing us not to use our sensory systems, preventing us from enjoying the things surrounding us. With technology being part of our daily lives, it facilitates that all our time is consumed by it.

1. The difference between hearing and listening is that hearing is simply filtering sounds in the peripheral awareness while only giving awareness to those sounds that we deem worthy of our attention like our name or a violent group fight outside your house. Listening is active and it is the effort to absorb and retain a sphere of audio. Listening is an intention which means the majority amount of choice is in our control. By simply engaging your curiosity or by being determined to listen, more retention is able to be attained. The more intense, the more retention. Perception can influence how we listen; if we were to perceive someone as lower status, we might not want to listen to them as much. If we have a bias towards a gender or certain races then we could also listen to them less or more. When it comes to structural features, I believe context and preference is key. Logistical elements such as temperature, volume of external noise, sitting positions, distracting smells and views can all affect listening.

2. Krukowski says we use hearing to map where we are in relation to where the sounds are coming from. However if your ears are covered in public, then you’ll be less aware of what entities could be nearby. Both him Krukowski and Schaefer discussed how if you own a space, you could dictate how people interact with it thus having some control over the auditory output in that space. Concert halls had microphones deliberately placed in areas where performers like the Rockettes would go about in order to deliberately amplify a small concentration of certain sounds for the entire auditorium.

1. Hearing is to perceive sound and requires no attention while listening requires attentiveness and the ability to understand and process the sound being made. The brain gets more involve rather than the ears when listening. To listen, the listener intends to connect and engage with others creating a deeper understanding about the situation.
2. Sound has played a role in shaping a city and redesigning a place. Schafer and Krukowski states, that “through audio, we’re privatizing our public spaces just like the redesign of astro-place into a pedestrian plaza” Digital media creates a sense of privatized space on public spaces by using sounds to detach themselves from their surroundings. This of course, creates a refuge place on one’s devices that they can carrie when traveling or when they don’t want to be bothered.

1. The main differences between hearing and listening is that when your hearing stuff your not really like paying attention and understanding whats happening. For instance if your just hearing 2 people talk your just probably hearing it go through one ear and out the either. While when your listening your actually listening close to someones conversation and your understanding and analyzing what those 2 people are saying. When your listening i feel like your more engaged in what your doing, but hearing and listening work together.

2. Schafer and Krukowski identify a relationship between space and sound. They identify that music and the sound of it is an instrumental part of alot of things. They believe that music and sound is sometimes produced by emotion and sometimes by noise. Schafer believes that sound is not just a product of the culture and environment around you but its a reflection of everything that goes on around you and how your hearing all the noise around you. They also found out that analyzing soundscape was a much harder task than anything.

1. What do you take the differences between “hearing” and “listening” to be? Do we make choices about what we listen to? If so, how do we make these choices? What criteria do we use? Do structural features, such as race, gender, or social class, inform how we listen? How so? Are there other structural elements that affect our listening experiences?
2. How do Schafer and Krukowski discuss the relationship between sound and space?

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.

In “Living with Music,” how does Ralph Ellison describe how music affects his living experience in his New York City apartment building?

What does he mean by the first sentence of the piece? (“In those days it was either live with music or die with noise…”)

Can you think of points of comparison between Ellison’s essay and either R. Murray Schafer’s “The Soundscape” or Episode 2 of Damon Krukowski’s Ways of Hearing?

Berger believed that white periodicals consistently portrayed black people in a negative manner, and that white journalists’ use of photographs strengthened white dominance. I’m in the middle of things. White magazines, in my opinion, only highlight the negative aspects of the Civil Rights Movement, never displaying images of individuals peacefully protesting or simply standing up for their rights. On the other hand, I believe that cases like these, such as the case of George Floyd and Trevon Martin, are considered much more severely nowadays when it comes to displaying discrimination against black people.

1. Berger claims that publicity stimulates our imagination either through memory or anticipation, and that it is the process of creating glamour.By using publicity as inspiration, we can fantasize about what we want to achieve and make an effort to obtain it.People are more likely to ask for good money and improve their quality of life when they are introduced to a new way of life as a result of publicity.
2. The owner’s goods are shown in oil paintings, and they are real to him. However, publicity displays our aspiration of being who we want to be. These distinctions are significant because they provide us with a different perspective. We examine oil paintings and advertisements from several perspectives so that, when we encounter advertisements depicting products or even a life we fantasize about, we are motivated to struggle for a better existence rather than envy the superior in oil paintings.
3. Berger constructed a lifelike setting in the dream of later tonight in which we are a part of a good life and everyone is happy. People are surrounded by gourmets and alcoholic beverages, and they are all having a great time. Customers are manipulated by the imagery by showing them what their dreams should be. For customers, this is an immersive experience.
