Discussion Assignment Dancehall Music

 
it might be better to answer less questions and devote more time to developing your own interpretation and opinions of the reading.
you'll need to be more specific and try and describe what you hear in the music in greater detail. Use more of the music terminology from week 1,
Avoid generalizations like this unless you can make them yourself: "Puccini masterpiece is considered one the most tender and dramatically effective of operatic death scenes." Have you watched lots of operatic death scenes? If not, how do you know this is true?
What surprised you most about the slums from the reading?
What accounts for the rapid growth of slums worldwide after 1950?
How does Dancehall “represent” the slums?
What kind of gender roles are articulated by Dancehall?
Pick a Dancehall song and explain what stands out about it to you and how the music helps to express its message and mood.
Does Dancehall cause crime? If not, what does cause crime?

It is a one page discussion contribution and I had stated in the instruction that the teacher said you do not need to answer all questions but chose a few and be detailed and involve the material to be used.So the writer can choose not all questions but the one they choose to they do not have to generalize it but detailed and specific
