I never even considered the idea of technological equity. Since I have access to WiFi and electronics whenever I want, I guess the problem never crossed my mind. “The Kendeda Building: Through the Lens of Equity” really opened my eyes. #1102archsound

Group work went really well today considering how close to the end of the semester it is. We got a lot of solid ideas for our 5 scenarios. Hopefully fleshing our the descriptions shouldn’t be too difficult. #1102archsound

Trying to do homework while my roommate watches tv. I can see how this is some how analogous to the sound equities problems we’ve been creating in class. #1102archsound

I didn’t really understand why the builders and the Tuhoe were arguing in the beginning. What was the conflict? #1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

It’s crazy how even places on the other side of the globe implemented and completed a living building. We’re just now getting one but the equity issues the Tuhoe faced were much more severe than the scenarios were exploring. #1102archsound

Baruch Spinoza helped lay the ground work for 18th-Century Enlightenment. Considered his magnum opus, Ethics, cemented his position as one of Western philosophy’s greatest thinkers. #1102archsound

If there was a soundscape with many conflicting sounds, I would move locations to lessen the complexity of my environment. This would allow me to isolate a certain sound more easily #1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

I honestly had no idea that there was intellectual debate over the ethics of sound. Personally, I would align with Spinoza’s ideology that the nature of noise is up to perception and not inherent. #1102archsound

When I typically read, I drown out the outside world with my favorite Rain Sounds album. However the introduction made me conscious of the cacophony of sounds ringing through my ears and it became a distraction. #1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

Could there be cases for silence being a damaging and detrimental force? In this question, I refer to solitary confinement. Personally, I cannot imagine experiencing silence for a week or more. #1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

This article poses the belief of sounds being inherently good or bad. The timing of this reading is uncanny, as just the other day I was arguing with my friend about whether or not you can universally define music as good or bad. #1102archsound

I really respect Daniels mom for giving him the freedom of opportunity to choose his own fate. Not to be impeded by his disability but to embrace it. #1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

The part where they talk about expectations can be applied to many different groups of people in today’s society #1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

In terms of equity, I don’t think my view really changes. If everyone got what they needed in this story, Daniel would get a new pair of eyes. Unfortunately this isn’t possible. I still believe it has more to do with equality of opportunity #1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

Why does Daniel consider all the attention offensive? Considering I’ve never been in his position it would be tough to say from my perspective, but personally I’d find it sort of flattering. #1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

In all honesty, I don’t think it would matter which rat you gave me. I would handle them both the same, by not touching either of them at all. #1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

What is the benefit of digital recording and its ability to make things louder without background noise? Is there even one?#1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

1.1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss? Ok maybe I should turn the music in my car down. #1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

“Because we don’t seem to be listening to each other very well in the world”. This quote from episode 3 really hits home. #1102archsound

[Jeremy Webb @jwebb45Engl1102]

The living building game definitely opened my eyes to a wide array of viewpoints. I never expected to have to think about equity from the perspective of a bird. #1102archsound
