DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
These three singers have all been referred to as alternative artists in their respective genres. In each case, explain why you agree or disagree with this statement and give reasons.
Describe the important social issue raised in each of these songs, and the writer’s position on that issue.
Do you believe that social commentary is important in popular music, or that popular music’s main function should be entertainment? Why?
Which of the three songs most effectively makes its point?
Which of these three artists would you be most likely to listen to more of?
Then, answer question 6 with a total of 150 to 200 words:
6. What makes alternative music so unique and stand out from other genres? A long time ago, before I knew too much about music genres, etc., I thought alternative was just rock music. What do you think, in your opinion, makes alternative music stand out from rock along with the other genres? Do you find it hard to classify an artist as an alternative? If so, what makes it hard to pinpoint? If not, what stands out to you knowing it is in fact alternative music?
7. Then, come up with your own original, open-ended question that students can respond to and briefly elaborate on your question. Your open-ended question can be anything related to the “Alternative Styles” Discussion Assignment. (Question 6 above is an example of another peer’s open-ended question.)

I need you to explore a genre of artistic practice you can choose (music, dance, painting, cinema, theater, or poetry) in its relationship to a revolutionary social movement in the Algerian Revolution. Here is what I want the essay to have;
So first need you to outline your understanding of Tunisia and the Jasmine Revolution case study, drawing on the 2 readings “Emel Mathlouthi: Voice Of The Tunisian Revolution” and “Music of Dissent and Revolution.Middle East Critique by Kerim Bouzouita”
Then analyze one artistic genre or artist as it applies to the case study, giving concrete examples.
Lastly, I want you to demonstrate how the artistic genre or artist contributed to the social movement in your case study.
Make sure that you draw on social movement theory as well where relevant. When applying the theory to the case study, provide a coherent analysis of your argument. Pay attention to the syntax and overall writing style, punctuation, grammar, in the essay.
When writing the essay start with how a genre of artistic practice chose one (music, dance, painting, cinema, theater, or poetry) has been a tool to strat revolutions and then dive into what I have requested above.
For citation and in text citation use MLA format, make sure that you write the page of where you found the information from if the page is available.
For the readings:
“Emel Mathlouthi: Voice of The Tunisian Revolution” NPR Music. online at: http://www.npr.org/2013/01/05/168627909/emel-mathlouthi-voiceof-the- tunisian- revolution
Kerim Bouzouita. 2013.“Music of Dissent and Revolution.”Middle East Critique (I have attached this in the attachments in Sources to be used)
Other than those if you can find online about 2 readings that talks about social movement theory and the role of art in it it will be perfect
Comments from Customer
I made a small mistake in the description/instruction about the paper. So its all about the Tunisian Revolution ” jasmine revolution” not the Algerian revolution. No need to add any documents as the document I added is about Tunisia, but the oversight I forgot to change Algeria in the instruction to Tunisia. So the essay is all about Tunisia and the role of music in the jasmine revolution.

My question is about ‘How has Taylor Swift’s views on feminism elected the concept of feminism altogether with her worldwide fans?’. In this essay I need an introduction which has to be 500 words it needs to include the subtopics i am going to have and an explanation of what I’m going to talk bout and nay areas within that topic i will explore. My 3 subtopics are: ‘Taylor Swift’s Journey with feminism’, Taylor Swift’s feminist advocacy’ and ‘Perception of feminism among Taylor Swift’s fans. I will attach an essay plan which can be followed it has relevant points which can be followed. I also need a conclusion which has to be 500 words and it needs to summarise the key points of the essay and my findings and conclusion to my question. My total essay has to add up to 5000 words and if references could be used as Harvard referencing and it would be appreciated if the sources used are put on a separate page. Thank you so much.

Provide (briefly describe) one example of how “interartistic inquiry” of the Harlem Renaissance period – addressed social and/or political events of this time.

respond to on of the musical examples from this unit in greater depth. If you select this option, you will write one to two paragraphs discussing what you found particularly musically and/or lyrically effective, interesting and/or enjoyable about the performance. I am not asking you to make earth-shattering revelations here. Rather I want to see you demonstrate, in your own words, that you listened to the song and tried to understand what you were hearing. Do your best to describe details in the recording that support your argument. It is also useful to attempt to situate the song within the history of rock ‘n’ roll as it is presented in this class to date.
Your response should address some or all of the following questions (to the best of your abilities):
-What instruments are used in this song?
-What are some of the most clear sonic characteristics of the song?
-How do these sounds relate to the (sub-)genres that came before it?
-Why is this song relevant to the lecture/unit?
-Why did you choose this particular song? What made it stand out for you?

Your responses should include a sentence or two about five to six recording from the lecture(s) and a paragraph that addresses the unit’s recordings as a group. Each individual track response must include a specific observation that points to a particular musical event in the recording. Timestamps pointing to these specific moments should be used to make the point you are referring to as clear as possible (i.e. “At 1:32 in the recording we hear a guitar responding to the vocal line / an abrupt change in tempo / the first of a series of riffs / etc”). You may also discuss a particular recording in more depth or make any other observations you would like in regard to the assigned listening for this. The responses in your listening journal should demonstrate evidence of critical listening and engagement with the course materials more generally.
The tracks you are required to address are as follows:
The Weavers – “Goodnight, Irene” (1950)
Leadbelly – “Goodnight, Irene” (1939)
Bob Dylan – “Gospel Plow” (1961)
Bob Dylan – “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean” (1961)
Muddy Waters – “My Home is the Delta” (1964)
Muddy Waters – “Mannish Boy” (1955)
Muddy Waters – “Got My Mojo Working” (1960)
Ottilie Patterson – “Careless Love” (1955)
Muddy Waters – “Hard Day Blues”
