Internalization

I found what we talked about in class today very interesting, that people internalize different songs from different memories they had when hearing a certain song. I am very musically inclined and constantly listening to music so I can really relate. I have certain songs which bring me back to the first time I met a boyfriend, songs that bring me back to getting ready to go out with my friends in highschool, and songs I used to listen to before basketball games. It is so interesting to me how every time I hear songs connected to significant memories, even years later when I hear the song it takes me right back to that time in my life, or that experience with that person. I think music is a real key aspect of internalization, and a place where you can see it most obviously and frequently.

  1. I thought what we did in class today was really interesting too. It is very true that people internalize different songs from different memories they had when hearing a certain song. A song can have a completely different meaning to the listener. Through internalization, I believe that people have opportunity to interact with other people, learn more, accomplish more, and progress more. For example, I get to learn what other people might think about things. How we can think so differently.
