I didn't have my icati number during this interview but I jotted down the main parts of the intervuiew. During class I interviewed a classmate and I asked her about her opinion on yes means yes. She thought that if someone gave consent then yes but if the person changed their mind after an hour or said no, then no means no. She also mentioned that if they were both drunk, then the person should not be blamed, because both were intoxicated. She thought that it was stupid to blame the victim because they have no fault. I asked if she knew anyone who had been in a similar situation and she said no, but that she knows that it does happen.

During class today, I interviewed a female, and asked if she thought that streaming outtakes purchasing. She said yes because it's very accessible. She said that she would rather save money on something that she can get for free. For example she can listen to an album on Pandora, instead of purchasing the album from Walmart. I also asked why she thought that music was less political today than in the 1960's. She said that people are not as involved like before, people have other things to do. They are so involved in social media. I asked if music was worth more than what we currently pay, and she thought it depended on the artist. Artists like Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus, don't have a voice and they are just for entertainment. Artists like Beyoncé or Mariah Carey, have a beautiful voice singing a Capella. People don't pay attention to what they are listening to, they like the beat of the song instead of the lyrics.  She wouldn't spend her money on something she could get for free.

Since my icati number is no longer in service I do not have a link to the interview, but I did take notes during the interview in class today. I interviewed a female. I asked her if she thought that the criminal justice system in the United States was fair to all race groups. She said that it depended on the race of the person. If they were from a minority group like Black or Hispanic then they had a more difficult time with the criminal justice system. Minorities get less opportunities and less options vs. other groups like whites. She thought it was unfair depending on what the case may be, like murder, misdemeanors, rape, assault etc. She mentioned that she hasn't experienced any type of injustice.
