There have been a few instances of boundaries changing in my life. One of the most significant was my acceptance into the North Carolina Governor's school. From here the boundary between music and my life was changed. Music became a much bigger part of what I do and who I am; for example, from Governor's school I auditioned for UNCSA and after being accepted here I truly became a musician.
Another boundary that has changed is within my relationships with other people. Since my entrance into college I have been constantly reevaluating the way I relate to people and defining for myself what and who matter(s) to me most. This change from a rather passive take on people has reshaped the boundary of my personal relationships.
The resources put up some interesting points. Empathic civilization is a great explanation of how our boundaries of emotions are merged due to our predisposition for empathy. Ecstasy of influence brings up an excellent point on how musicians, especially jazz musicians, break the boundaries of ownership over musical ideas to create a boundless artform. The new literacy shows how the boundary between my generation and the previous generation in terms of literacy has been changed; we write more than anyone, but what we write about is a whole other story. The free appropriation writer takes the idea from the musicians of ecstasy of influence and applies it to written art, breaking boundaries between creative property and artforms.
