My Final Blog: For English 101:

 I have really learned a great experience with this course and I have learned many new things. I enjoyed working with my group members from the Emerald group and I appreciate all the feedback that they gave me on my PDR’S. The group projects were lots of fun and that is something that I would really enjoy to do in my other course’s next semester. I had a lot of fun writing in my blog and this one thing that I never knew how to do. I am not going to lie, there were some tough things for the last minute and my work really began to pile up. This was the first time that I took all of my classes directly online so I was still new at the use of many things.  This class has really taught me what to look forward to in the future when I am taking harder classes. I enjoyed English class, but I know that I could have done a lot better if I did everything ahead of time and if I would have been ahead of myself. I guess we are always learning something new and this was one for me.  

Even after I finish this course I will still continue writing in my blog on improving my writing skills. Writing is an enjoyable thing as long as you can enjoy what you are writing about. Sometimes I had difficult moments trying to understand what I had to actually write about. The more I began to understand the material and the reading, and then I was able to proceed with a better understanding. This class has also taught me more about responsibility and how important it is to get things done on time. Due to my lack at some points, I missed the due dates of some assignments and lost large amount of credit. For my future class I will be sure to stay ahead of the work and not allow procrastination to come into place. Procrastination is a horrible thing and I must do my very best to become free of it. I do not have any regrets from taking this course because if anything it has made me stronger when it comes to my writing and reading. I want to thank Professor Jennifer Gross for all of her help with this course and the knowledge that she has helped me gain as a student. I also want to thank all of my classmates who gave me feedback on my assignments including my blog. Good luck to you all in the future and with the remaining of this course.

 I would also like to wish Professor Jennifer Gross, the best and I hope that she has a fast and safe recovery. I just received the news that she is in the hospital, but I am not exactly sure about what has happened. I want you to know that all of your student’s are here for you and we all are wishing you well. Get well soon, Professor Jennifer Gross.

Week 15 Blog

           This English 101 course has taught me many things that I did not know about writing and communication. One thing that I never really knew how to do was blogging. I always heard people talking about it, but I never looked into it. Blogging has taught me how to post my thoughts and also respond to others as well. This is definitely something that I will continue to do even when the semester for this course is over. I enjoyed reading all of my fellow classmates blog entries and the different things that they talked about. This was a great opportunity for me to get to know others better and allow them to get to know me too. As for a result in my writing improvements, I have improved a little more and realized many things that I have been doing wrong with my essays and MLA formatting. I definitely know more now then I did before I started this course. I have received great feedback by my instructor and my classmates as well. Their feedback has helped me see things that I was doing wrong and what I needed to focus more on. I really liked the group work assignments because it taught me how to do teamwork without having to even communicate verbally. All of the group assignments were very successful for me. Although at some points not all the group members were participating, but as the days went by things were more together. I would like to have future group assignments in my classes for next semester.
        The one thing that gave me the most trouble was getting all of my reading assignments finished. Online classes are still very new to me and there are still many things with working online that I am learning. I know that as time progresses I will develop much more as an online student and I will be much more successful with getting work in on time. I have enjoyed writing essays, but I have a tendency of getting my words rambled to much. One thing that I must get more focused on is keeping my essays more organized and no jump from one thing to another. I have great ideas, but my wording sometimes doesn’t fit into the right places. It was nice reading all of my group member’s essay’s and having the opportunity to give them some feedback on improvements. I also read some papers that were so good, that it seemed as if they had nothing that needed to be fixed at all. Overall I really enjoyed this class, but I wish that I could have done a lot better on some things that I did not so well on. I enjoyed working with my group members and Professor Jennifer Gross has really done a great job on setting up all the assignments for blackboard. She has also done a really great job on all her effort to give feedback when I really needed it. I look forward to taking everything that this class has taught me and putting all of it to use to further my education.

Music Sampling

         Creativity in music is changing everyday and many people see creativeness in different ways. I would consider sampling somewhat creative because creativity works in so many different ways. For someone to take a portion of one sound of music and put it into another, seem pretty creative in a different way. It takes a lot of effort to learn how to do things like this because working with digital computers is not something just anyone can do. Now with today’s generation people are always looking for something new and different. I consider sampling something okay to be done because I am sure that I listen to many song’s containing sampling or portions of other songs. This does have a tendency to stray away from originality and take uniqueness out of music. Having instrumental beats being put digitally into a song is something very different, but it is nice to have that actual instruments played in the song, not added to it. This is what makes the music less natural and more computerized. Although there are some song’s that don’t show a difference. It does tale a lot more talent for a musician to sing a song that is their’s and have acustic instruments along with it. Sampling is kind of like taking pieces of other’s creative art work or drawings and adding it into your own. Then after finishing that piece of artwork, you say it is your own. It would be considered your own piece because you put it together from different pieces of work into one. It is like putting five other artist’s work into one and calling it your very own piece.
         There are some hip hop artists that are not using sampling in their music. Rappers like Timbarland and Dr. Dre are keeping all of their music original. They are not adding any digital instruments and they are “keeping it real”. Many hip hop artists have been acused of sampling and they want other’s to know that they are not one of them. I am not against sampling, but it is always nice to keep things original. If that is what artists are choosing to do then who are they hurting. It is not like they are completely stealing the music from the song writers. The song writers are getting paid for selling these samples to the musicians that will be singing the song.
             I am sure that many of us go on everyday listening to songs that have had sampling done to them. The thing is that it is just being done like there is nothing wrong with it. Things have changed a lot in music and unfortunately with all of this new technology happening more and more. Things will just continue to be less and less original. The thing is that if the consumer’s are still showing interest in the music, it is being liked and money is being made than, who really is complaining. Music is music and it will it will always continue to change, but we must not forget where the true roots of music came from. Sampling or not I really don’t mind. If the song has a good meaning and a nice beat then it is fine with me. Although originality always makes everything seem and sound much better

Week 13 on Research Paper

                 My research paper is taking lots of time, but I am learning so much in the process. Writing an essay takes lots of understanding on what it is that you are writing about. I am doing all my research to cover every angle because I do not want to be wrong on any of my facts. The topic that I decided to write about is on Madonna and her Pepsi endorsement deal gone bad. This is the very first time that I had heard about this endorsement when I was looking for a topic to write about. There are many things about this topic that I did not know. The song that appeared in the Pepsi commercial was “ Like a Prayer” and I always recall listening to this song, but it never really occurred to me what the song was about. I just never took the time to research about it. This paper is teaching me many things that are going to help with my future paper’s as well. I will also be more aware of the meanings of song’s that I am listening to. I still need some more supporting facts to back up the reason’s why Pepsi cancelled Madonna’s endorsement deal. I also need to give my beginning paragraph a stronger opening, so that I can grab my audience and really get them to want to continue reading what I have to say. I will continue researching on more facts and evidence to support my paper. I will write a couple of beginning paragraph’s and them in one at a time to see which one fits best. I need one that will really grab’s my attention and the reader’s as well.
                The areas that are really giving me trouble are my transitioning from paragraph to paragraph. I tend to go into my next paragraph with things that don’t blend right with my previous paragraph. What I need to do is blend them and not change so drastically from me talking about one thing to something completely opposite that doesn’t even relate to the previous paragraph. Organization is my number one concern in writing a great essay. When everything becomes unorganized than everything becomes very difficult to understand and all the hard work researching is mixed up. Ways to overcome these obstacles and see that I am doing a good job would be to categorize all of my different ideas and match them in the right places. Also before I finish my final paper, I am going to visit a tutor at the college and get some final proof reading done. I will take in any advice that sounds useful and I really look forward on this essay being an outstanding one. I will put my very best effort into it and I hope to continue learning many more things on writing a good essay that I didn’t know. I look forward to any advice that anyone might have for me and I will give any that I can to help as well.

Internet Piracy

      Internet piracy is a very fast growing issue. Many people no longer go to the music store to buy the latest album out. Instead they can just access online from many different downloading sources. It is good for some people because not everyone can afford to pay thirteen to fifteen dollars for a music album. Piracy is a term used for illegal coping of a music album or a movie copyright. The many people that are doing the copies to make and extra buck are risking a lot. Some of them even go to movie theater and film the movie from there. Other’s will just wait for it to come out on DVD and they will just make multiple copies. I don’t think it should be considered illegal if people are doing it for their own personal use. As for music, there are different options. The consumer can simply download it from many different internet sources like youtube and some other‘s. It is also more convenient for the consumer because they can just download the music they want in the convenience of their home. If they are doing it to make money then that is a different story. It can be labeled as illegal.       Being able to stop piracy is a big maybe. There are so many people doing it and so many more supporting them by purchasing so many copies. Stopping them is going to be very difficult. Think about it. Would you go and pay twenty dollars for a movie when you can buy the same exact one for only three dollars. Probably not. Now with today’s economy and prices sky rocketing, there are so many people that don’t have the extra money to by the latest album or newest movie that is out there. It is considered a privilege and food is more of a necessity. It is a want against a need. As for many music and movie industries the idea of trying to stop piracy is going to be a tough one. This is one of the biggest ongoing issues and I think that there is a larger majority for piracy than actually against it.
      The people that are most likely going to take the biggest lose in this whole ordeal is going to be the music industry. The reason why I say the music industry is because they are the one’s who are selling the products and not making as much as they should. The musicians are still getting their music out there and they are still being loved by their fans. The consumers are not loosing either because if anything they are just getting the things they really like for an extremely better bargain. Such as music albums and movies. This is a situation where unfortunately someone always looses and in this case it is going to be the music industry because they are not going to sell as many copies as expected. They should still be happy that their products are being liked and the musicians, actors, and actresses are still getting the spotlight. Without the consumer celebrities wouldn’t be where they are today.
