Peterson explores the birth of rock ‘n’ roll and explains that some statements are myths, such as: the emergence of a group of creative artists in the 1950s are responsible for Rock ‘n’ Roll. Instead, Peterson suggests there were 6 significant factors which are responsible for the birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll. These are: law, technology, industry, organisation, career and market.
This article is useful as a production of culture perspective in understanding the birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll, as his suggestion makes sense and is more likely to be an accurate review. It is more likely that the 6 factors, contributed to the birth of rock ‘n’ roll rather than a random occurrence of the revolution of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
However, there is a flaw in Peterson’s article as he doesn’t actually mention Rock ‘n’ Roll, and why the 6 factors made Rock ‘n’ Roll and not another genre.
This is quite good. However I would say that you could have spent a little more time discussing the relative strengths/weaknesses of Peterson's ideas rather than outlining them.
