35967Y301 ex.no.1: a musicology professor sits ~~~

IN THE VIENNA OPERA HOUSE LISTENING TO THE OPENING OF LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN'S FIFTH SYMPHONY. 'PapapaPAM!!!!' As the sound waves hit his eardrums, signals travel via the auditory nerve to the brain and the adrenal gland floods his bloodstream with adrenaline! His heartbeat accelerates, his breathing intensifies, the hairs on his neck stand up, and a shiver runs down his spine! 'PapapaPAM!' EX.NO.2: A MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE IS SPEEDING DOWN THE PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO LA @ full throttle. The muchomacho young driver puts on Chuck Berry @ full volume: 'Go! Go, Johnny, go!' As the sound waves hit his ear-drums, signals travel via the auditory nerve to the brain and the adrenal gland floods his bloodstream with adrenaline! His heartbeat accelerates, his breathing intensifies, the hairs on his neck stand up, and a shiver runs down his spine. 'Go! Go, Johnny, go, go, go!' EX.NO.3: DEEP IN THE CONGOLESE RAINFOREST A PYGMY HUNTER STANDS TRANSFIXED. From the nearby village he hears a choir of girls singing their initiation song. 'Ye oh, oh. Ye oh, eh.' As the sound waves hit his eardrums, signals travel via the auditory nerve to the brain & the adrenal gland floods his bloodstream with adrenaline. His heartbeat accelerates, his breathing intensifies, the hairs on his neck stand up, & a shiver runs down his spine. 'Ye oh, oh. Ye oh, eh.' Ex.no.4: It's a full-moon night somewhere in the Canadian Rockies & a wolf is standing on a hilltop listening to the howls of a female in heat. 'Awoooooo! Awoooooo!' As the sound~waves hit his eardrums signals travel via the auditory nerve to the brain & the adrenal gland floods his bloodstream with adrenaline. His heartbeat accelerates, his breathing intensifies, the hairs on his neck stand up, & a shiver runs down his spine! 'Awoooooo! Awoooooo!' Which of these 4 expe-riences is the most valuable? Liberals will tend to say that the experiences of the musicology professor, of the young driver & of the Congolese hunter are all equally valuable, & all should be equally cherished? Every human experience contributes something unique, & enriches the world with new méaning! Some people like classical music, others love rock and roll, & still others prefer traditional African chants! Music students should be exposed to the widest possible range of genres, & at the end of the day they can all go to the iTunes Store, punch in their credit card numbers & buy whatever they like. Beauty is in the ears of the listener, & the customer is always right. The wolf, though, isn't human, hence his experiences are far less valuable. That's why the life of a wolf is worth less than the life of a human, & why it is perfectly okay to kill a wolf in order to save a human. When all is said & done, wolves don't get to vote in any beauty contests, nor do they own any credit cards. Also in myDi we can find things like this.
