People often do not want criminals released into their communities. For example, “Not in my backyard” is heard often when there is a move to have a residential drug treatment home in different neighborhoods. What is the fear of such facility treatments in your community, how can we make this happen while ensuring safety? (Schwartz, n.d.)
In the article, Songs of Myself, by Robin James, the author states that “[w]hereas demographics track membership in a politically-defined group, the new formats are based on categories that track (often individual) psychological characteristics. In other words, they have become psychographic.” I’m interested in hearing about how you find music. 1) Describe how and where you search for new music to add to your playlists, etc. 2) Do you think your sources use psychographics? why? 3) Identify at least one piece of music (a song technically means there’s a vocal part, btw) that you stumbled upon by accident that you now love and talk about how you encountered it. 4) How do you recommend music to others and who in your life are you more (or less) likely to recommend music to?
