Why are the teenagers made to listen to orchestras? [br]
W: Hey, listen to this. "A judge in Minnesota has sentenced some young people to listen to orchestras playing love songs. "
M: What?
W: As a punishment. For playing loud rock music.
M: Why? How is that a punishment?
W: They were playing some kind of loud music—rock, or rap or something—in their cars. It was disturbing the neighbors, who called the police. So the judge gave them a choice between paying a fifty-dollar fine or listening to the style of music that they most disliked. It says here, "The judge sees her method as an effective way to make the teenagers consider their crime. ’If they are making people listen to their music, I will make them listen to mine, ’ she said. "
M: Hah! I think that’s a good idea.
W: I suppose so. Actually... I don’t know if it would really be effective.
M: Well, it might make them see things from other people’s point of view.
W: Yes. I guess that’s why she did it.
M: It’s like that "landlord story" a few weeks ago.
W: What was that about?
M: Well, this guy was in court because he was renting apartments that were in terrible condition— no heat, no water, or anything. His building was a mess. So the judge ordered him to live in his own building for a while.
W: Wow! Good idea!
M: He said he should experience the same conditions. And also, if he was living in it, it would ensure that the repairs got done.
W: It’s better than going to prison.
M: Yes. Well, he could have gone to prison, otherwise. But this was a more practical solution.
W: Prison wouldn’t have been as effective. At least this way, the repairs probably got done.
M: I agree. It seems more logical to make the punishment fit the crime.
W: I had a teacher once who believed in that idea.
M: Really?
W: When I was in seventh grade, I hated gym class, and I always tried to get out of it. My friend and I used to hide in the locker room during class. Well, eventually we were caught.
M: What happened?
W: We had to go to the library and do a whole project on physical fitness. We had to get statistics. For example, how many people in the population are overweight, why exercise is good for you..., things like that. And we had to do it during gym class. Then we had to present it to the class.
M: That’s really good. I bet you learned a lot.
W: Yes, I learned a lot, but I still hated gym.
