Con: from “Buying Green Products Is an Inadequate Environmental Remedy” by Monica Hesse”When wannabe environmentalists try to change purchasing habits without also altering their consumer mind-set, something gets lost in translation.”Buying green is a sign that people recognize the need to protect the environment, claims Monica Hesse in the following viewpoint. However, she argues, consuming green products is not the solution. Consumption will not solve the nation’s environmental challenges, Hesse explains. To be truly green means to buy less, not green, she maintains. Replacing products thought to be environmentally unsound increases consumption, which in turn increases environmental problems, she reasons.In satiric fashion, she admonishes the green consumer:“Congregation of the Church of the Holy Organic, let us buy.”“Let us buy Anna Sova Luxury Organics Turkish towels, 900 grams per square meter, $58 apiece. Let us buy the eco-friendly 600-thread-count bed sheets, milled in Switzerland with U.S. cotton, $570 for queen-size.”“Let us purge our closets of those sinful synthetics, purify ourselves in the flame of the soy candle at the altar of the immaculate Earth Weave rug, and let us buy, buy, buy until we are whipped into a beatific froth of free-range fulfillment.”“And let us never consider the other organic option—not buying—because the new green consumer wants to consume, to be more celadon than emerald, in the right color family but muted, without all the hand-me-down baby clothes and out-of-date carpet.”Passage 2. Pro: from “Buying Green Products Will Improve the Environment” by Jenny Shank”There’s a certain thrill, that you get to go out and replace everything,” says Leslie Garrett, author of “The Virtuous Consumer,” a green shopping guide. “New bamboo T-shirts, new hemp curtains.”Garrett describes the conflicting feelings she and her husband experienced when trying to decide whether to toss an old living room sofa: “Our dog had chewed on it—there were only so many positions we could put it in” without the teeth marks showing. But it still fulfilled its basic role as a sofa: “We could still sit on it without falling through.”They could still make do. They could still, in this recession-wary economy, where everyone tries to cut back, subscribe to the crazy notion that conservation was about … conserving. Says Garrett, “The greenest products are the ones you don’t buy.”There are exceptions. “Certain environmental issues trump other issues,” Garrett says. “Preserving fossil fuels is more critical than landfill issues.” If your furnace or fridge is functioning but inefficient, you can replace it guilt-free.Ultimately, Garrett and her husband did buy a new sofa (from Ikea—Garrett appreciated the company’s ban on carcinogens). But they made the purchase only after finding another home for their old couch—a college student on Craigslist was happy to take it off their hands.The sofa example is what Josh Dorfman, host of the Seattle radio show “The Lazy Environmentalist,” considers to be a best-case scenario for the modern consumer. “Buying stuff is intrinsically wrapped up in our identities,” Dorfman says. “You can’t change that behavior. It’s better to say, ‘You’re a crazy shopaholic. You’re not going to stop being a crazy shopaholic. But if you’re going to buy 50 pairs of jeans, buy them from this better place.'”Then again, his show is called “The Lazy Environmentalist.”

Composer ProjectProject Description: Pick one composer we studied in this course. You may NOT use Mozart or Beethoven.1) Write a brief biography of the composer that includes some facts about him that were not included in the text. Some things you might want to include: birth and death dates, where he lived and worked, events that influenced his career choice and his writing, any peculiar facts that make him interesting, etc.2) Then, using correct musical terminology, describe in detail 2 – 3 of his compositions. Some things you might want to include: stylistic period his music belongs to, genres the pieces fall in, musical characteristics of the works … use the textbook descriptions as a guide for this part. This should not be generalized statements about his overall musical output, but very specific information about the pieces you chose. You should not use Google for this section of the project; listen to the pieces then tell me what you are hearing in terms of texture, dynamics, form, timbre, etc. Because you need to listen to and describe the works, do not pick an entire opera or symphony; instead, pick a specific aria from the opera or a particular movement of the symphony.3) Finally, tell me why this composer’s works are of interest to you. If you were introducing this music to your friends or family, what would you say to get their interest? Again, make sure you use the musical vocabulary we learned in the course.Notice that there are three parts to this project: biography, description of compositions, and explanation of why this person’s work is of interest to you. Also note that section 2 is not a list of composition titles; rather, it is a description of several works that should mirror the listening guides found in your text.While the quality of your content is more important than the length of your paper, to adequately address all required sections most papers will be 3 – 4 pages long. Remember to cite the sources you use in your research (using any standard citation method of your choice). As this is a college research paper, it’s important to use reliable academic sources. Sites like Mental Floss or personal blogs might be entertaining but are not reliable. Good sources include Britannica, Biography, university websites, and sites affiliated with major symphony orchestras. Also, it is very important that you avoid plagiarism; be sure to reword any information you are using, or to use quotation marks and source citations for any passages you quote. Spelling and grammar will be considered when assigning your grade, so proofread your work! The tutoring center is a great resource if you need a little help polishing up your final product.Although the last module includes information on some relatively current performers, this assignment is to be done on a COMPOSER. If you have any doubt about the person you have picked, feel free to email me with your choice before doing a lot of research.

Discussion for Paley’s “A Conversation with My Father”Although Grace Paley has done much work for the feminist political movement, as a writer, she is best known for her use of a postmodernist literary technique of “metafiction.” Metafiction is the writing of stories that are about the art of writing stories. However, unlike other practitioners of metafiction who get caught up in the aesthetics of this technique, Paley uses this technique to discuss social and metaphysical issues that confront all of us. The issue that “A Conversation with My Father” explores is the nature of human freedom: Is human freedom an illusion in which we all believe much like how we believe the illusions offered to us by fictional stories? Can we construct our lives in the same way that an author can construct a character or a story?1.
