Article about violinist

Today in class we learned about a famous violinist who played some very famous music outside a subway as part of a social experiment. I was honestly not expecting many people to give the violinist a tip, let alone stand and watch him. I believe that people tend to follow the norm socially and are not very open to paving new ways sociologically. Since this random violinist was not the norm, I think people were a tad scared to be seen watching him or giving him money. I also think that it also depends on the people in the subway. I think that if the right people heard his music, they would appreciate it and realize it was a famous artist. Not only does the outcome depend on the people that walk in, but their attitude sociologically. I think that if it was a music that was more well known around that area, more people would have given money or stopped to watch because it would have been more normal music in that area that many people listen to. This was a very cool article to read because it really tested the limits and boundaries of how people react to certain sociological situations.
