Music created the DJ (disc jockey). The DJ has been playing music for people on the radio, at clubs, social gatherings and house parties. The DJ has been playing at such events ever since music became available on multiple playable devices, such as 8 track, records, and cassettes. DJs play every kind of music from country to dance, to rock n’ roll. The DJs that we hear on the radio may have talent for their profession, but musically all they do is follow a play list or choose the music and press the play button. The types of DJs that I am concerned create a possible art form and are not simply radio DJs. Is this DJ an artist and if so what kind of art is he producing? Is Djing just like a competitive activity or job, where one can learn , practice and improve their abilities? If so is the DJ just providing us with a production of his talent, craft, or skill?

this is what got me...

You contuinually use the definite article "the" referring to one unique individual - - what you should use is an indefinate article - "a." A DJ plays blah blah blah - otherwise I'm wondering who this Dj is and how he could have accomplished so much.

When introducing a term of art or an abbreviated term - start with the long version. The disc jockey (DJ) is often.... then you can use DJ thereafter.

If you are distinguishing radio jocks from club/rave etc DJs go ahead - but try to create a different term for them.

Also - you have used the term DJ too many times. Find another way to refer to your subject. (echoing Croix's comment)

ouch....

guy doesn't take crtitcism well

Sorry dude, but their all right, I have terrible writing skills and I could see plenty wrong.

You graduated from Tech? Wow, that makes me feel better about not finishing school yet!!

And says sh!t about Tech.

thanks for the input but Techs philosophy program is rated ninth overall but anyways, thanks for the input and if u ever finish school hit me up and this was just the overall thesis for the paper but hey we couldnt even get past that on this forum so just forget I ever started this whole thread.
