Week 5 Draft Questions, Grace Burchett

1) In the article “Sobreviviendo”, the author states that “music can inform beyond borders”. Can you think of any music you have heard that may be an example of this? What aspects of the music contributed to this informing across borders?

2) Also in the article “Sobreviviendo”, the author states “rather than viewing ourselves as being in relationships with other people or things, we are the relationships that we hold and are a part of”. Why is this distinction important?

3) How do you think our shopping/buying habits as consumers can impact farmworkers? Do you believe our buying habits can make a major difference in working conditions, and why or why not?

4) We have talked a lot about how different forms of art can reach many different communities. Do you think that works of public art, such as murals, or songs such as those in the NPR article can reach a larger audience? Do you have any personal experience with this?
