    Americans are slow to develop enthusiasm for opera because it was unfamiliar territory for them. It was basically a foreign concept to them literally and figuratively. They did not understand opera very well since it mainly came in different languages and was made for European taste, not American taste. It was also different from other familiar and popular forms of entertainment they were used to. So it was preferable to enjoy a form of entertainment they were familiar with that had relatable concepts that the American public would understand. Not only that, but the tickets for attending an opera event was expensive. Therefore, not affordable, limited access to the majority of Americans, and primarily being an activity for the elite. That means there is also a cultural and social barrier that is preventing most Americans in attending opera. They would feel out of place in an event surrounded by the elite. This would bring forth feelings of nervousness, awkwardness, and possibly even judgement from the elite. Additionally, another reason that prevents accessibility to most Americans is the lack of education on opera. People are not exposed to opera when they are young in school. Therefore, never cultivating an interest of opera when they get older.

    In essence, there were many factors that prevent accessibility for Americans in truly understanding and enjoying opera. It remains a niche interest for those that enjoy the entertainment that opera brings them since most Americans prefer to enjoy more accessible forms of entertainment attuned to their taste.

  • Respond and Reflection 4: Train to Busan

    Note: if you opt to copy/paste the questions below into a document and answer in paragraph form below each question, that’s fine. Just keep in mind that the pasted questions do not count toward the 300-word minimum.

    RR4: Respond to questions below:

    1. [Consider Context]: Context plays a really important role in any kind of rhetorical address (film or otherwise); all texts emerge from/within a given context. To help you think about the role of context in rhetorical analysis, consider how consuming Train to Busan in a ‘post-Covid’ context might affect an audience. Obviously, this is a ‘zombie film,’ but it’s about contagion. How might films about ‘contagion’ be different for, say, an audience in 2016 (when this film came out) versus 2026 (right now)? Why does context matter?
    2. [Consider Cultural Values]: You don’t have to take my Intercultural Communication course or Human Communication course to know that different cultures have different values. For instance, in general, the US is considered to be a more ‘individualistic’ culture that places more emphasis and value on individualism that the ‘collective good.’ Other cultures, say South Korea broadly, tend to be more collectivist cultures that value the ‘greater good’ over, say, individualism. How does Train to Busan wrestle with, or frame, these larger values — individualism vs. collectivism — throughout the film? Zero in, please, on the relationship between the father and daughter, particularly their conversations, to help you. Remember: This isn’t about what you think is ‘better’; it’s about critically analyzing the film to ask: What does it seem to be teaching its audiences?
    3. [Reflect]: What has been your most and least favorite assigned watch so far (Bugonia, Leave the World Behind(2023) & this current movie); why? (This is a free space, per usual. If you ever have requests for particular types of questions here, you can always email me or message me on Teams!)
