In reading these two passages, I've realized that as a culture, we do not sing publicly or aloud like we used to. I'm not sure how other countries or cultures go about singing, but I'd like to compare us. Singing can be hard and embarrassing, and as society has grown, we seem to always be worried about others opinions of almost every aspect of ourselves. Feeling shameful is, to most, something we avoid at all costs. I think its unfortunate singing has become a casualty of our face-saving culture. Singing, like countless other things, has become something we leave to the celebrities. This, after reading the prompt, deeply and bothers me.
