discussion question

CLASSICAL EXCELLENCE AND EARLY CHAMPIONS OF ABOLITION

PRELIMINARIES: Our discussion this week has two subjects–the first related to chapter 25 and the second one related to chapter 26. Do both subjects. There is also the usual EXPLORE list under the topic. Be sure to use that instead of any random googling for answers–you are required to use the class text each week and at least one of the EXPLORE-listed websites. HINT: The Explore list normally suggests what page numbers to focus on. ANOTHER HINT: You do need to have the textbook from this week on (no more free eChapters—sorry). ANOTHER HINT: If using the eBook purchased via our bookstore, when you just click on the on-screen page, the page number appears on the lower left of the screen. Jot it down; you might find it useful to identify the page in your post.

Harvard Business Review (O’Hara, 2014): “We tell stories to our coworkers and peers all the time — to persuade someone to support our project, to explain to an employee how he might improve, or to inspire a team that is facing challenges. It’s an essential skill…….” (https://hbr.org/2014/07/how-to-tell-a-great-story )

TOPIC: Please respond to both of the following, using the class text and sources under the Explore heading as the basis of your MAIN POST response (reminder—Also do TWO GOOD REPLY POSTS to classmates of 3-4 sentences each; or one more developed reply of 7 or 8 substantive sentences. Most find it simpler and more conversational to do the two shorter replies.):

  • SUBJECT ONE: Listen to one composition (for a symphony) by Haydn or Mozart, either at the websites below or in this week’s Music Folder. Identify the work that you have chosen, and describe the way in which the composition expresses the specific qualities of the Classical music style. Use the key terms from the textbook that are related to that particular music style, and explain what you like or admire about the work. Compare it to a specific modern musical work for which you might use the term “classic” or “classical” in a different way.

  • SUBJECT TWO: Autobiographies are often criticized as biased–having either embellishment of events or omission of unfavorable facts. —Explain whether you think an autobiographical account or literary work by a slave (such as Phillis Wheatley and Olaudah Equiano) would be more persuasive than a biographical or literary account by a white author (such as John Gabriel Stedman or Aphra Behn). —VISUAL versus WRITTEN—Explain whether you believe the representations of slavery in the visual arts (such as Blake’s illustrations or Hackwood’s cameo) were more compelling and convincing of the injustices of slavery than the literary representations already mentioned. In your explanations, use specific examples (tip–the book has great examples) and consider both audience and the content and nature of the work.–Identify the literary or art form in modern times that you think is most effective at depicting injustice. As you will manage a workplace and need to capture an audience—which communication form would work best for you?
