week2 What are the strengths and weaknesses of Petersons Production of Culture Persective on The Birth or Rock n Roll?
Richard Petersons production of culture perspective on the birth or the rise of rock n roll is broken down in to six different factors that has influenced and help bring rock n roll music about. These factors include law, technology, industry structure, occupational careers, organization structure and market. But i do think that with these six kinds of factors that there seems to be more weaknesses than strengths. As a theory it is quite strong because it makes sense and it give you a guide line or a simple structure to follow as to how rock n roll emerged. But what makes his theory weak is that it does not look or touch on the most important subject which is music itself. It also excludes the audience or the peoples views on why they liked it as well as what instruments are used to make it because overall Peterson is not interested in the creative side of it.

A reasonable analysis, although you could perhaps have focused a little more strongly on the technologies (i.e. production rather than delivery) that Peterson omitted.
