How useful is a production of culture perspective in understanding the birth of Rock and Roll.Peterson addresses important issues in a production of culture perspective. In many ways it is useful because he talks about the six factors that he suggest contribute to the birth of rock and roll, which are Law, Technology Industry Structure, Organisation Structure, Occupational Career and Market. Although these things had a key part to play in the birth of Rock n Roll there are other factors that he didn’t consider. He fails to address the music of Rock n Roll itself, which is probably the most important factor when thinking about the birth of it. Also he doesn’t talk about the teenage audience that Rock music was popular with. He could have found out their views and opinions on why they listened to it, this would have given a better understanding of the popularity of Rock music when it started.
