This was an interview I conducted on a classmate regarding the laws of sexual consent. We talked about the various ways someone may reject sexual intercourse, and whether or not the other person(s) would be violating the law if they didn't stop. When asked about an "implied no", such as physically pushing someone off, but not actually saying "no", the interviewee felt that physical communication is just as important as verbal. For example, if someone were to push the other person off during intercourse, that should mean the same thing as saying no. Therefore, the other party would be violating the law.

For this interview, we were practicing the iCati recording and interviews we were going to do for our semester-long project. I was cut off two times at about a minute each until my iCati worked continuously. This was my first interview, and I read the closed-ended questions, then the open-ended, in which I practiced probing. We were unable to finish the interview questions due to time constraints.

For this in-class interview, I asked a classmate if she felt that more exposure to a group would change your feelings about them. The respondent said she felt more exposure to a group that you're unfamiliar with might change your beliefs about them, but it may not always be positive. She also said that someone may have a instilled feelings regarding a certain group, which would make it harder for their feelings to be changed in the other direction. Technical-wise, this interview was of poor quality. It was hard to hear the respondent when I played the recording back. We also didn't finish our interview, due to time constraints.

The topic of this in-class interview was the switch from purchasing music to streaming music. I asked my respondent if she felt purchased music would eventually die out. She responded that it will decline more in the future, but not completely due to the issues with online streaming. For her personally, she prefers purchased music vs. streaming because of the ability to know exactly what she's going to listen to, versus streaming, which she feels mixes music too much for her preference. We also discussed pirating, and whether she felt more people pirate music rather than purchase. The respondent felt that it does happen, but there are also a lot of people who are too lazy to deal with trying to find a pirating site, and would rather do it lawfully, by purchasing. I asked her if she felt there are people who purchase music to support artists. She felt that was true. I asked the respondent if she felt entertainers were paid adequately, and she felt they were extremely overpaid. She said there are a lot of people in our country who hold very respectable jobs, such as military, and get paid pennies to the dollar compared to artists.
December 8th:
During this class, we briefly discussed the racial and criminal justice issues going on in the country right now. For this interview, I asked my classmate if she felt the criminal justice system was fair to all groups. She responded that it depends on the situation. She believed that when officers pull people over for violations, sometimes they are nice to let them go with a warning, but sometimes they are not. She said race is a factor in who they determine will get a warning, and who will be cited. She felt that the officer may be nicer to someone who is in their race group, rather than someone who is not. She also said the current racial and criminal justice issues in our country, such as Ferguson, etc., are causing people to judge the entire criminal justice system as a whole, and view it all as "bad". The respondent stated that sometimes police abuse their power, and that unfair issue boils down to power more than race. I asked her opinion on the man in New York who was videotaped being choked to death by a police officer. She had a very strong opinion about this, and felt the officer was clearly wrong, that the judge's ruling was unfair, and that the officer should have received at least some type of punishment. Her reasons were that there was video recorded evidence showing the victim was unarmed and saying he wasn't doing anything wrong.
