Answer to Question 1

Folk music:
music performed by and for close-knit communities
traditionally rural and geographically isolated
center of attention is on the music performance itself, NOT the singer, performer, or the quality of the singing or performing
music disseminated predominantly by oral tradition (now including radio, recordings, television, and film) but also by print tradition (broadsides, songsters)

Popular music:
music created for and enjoyed by a vast majority of people, undefined by region
produced by skilled professionals
commercially produced and distributed
disseminated first, primarily by notation, sheet music; later, oral tradition (radio, recordings, television, and film)

Classical music:
cultivated music; encompasses a wide variety of media, forms, textures, harmonies, rhythms, and styles
does not depend on mass appeal for its existence
produced by highly-skilled professionals
rewards a certain degree of musical experience in the listener

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
