    Reason for
    ?

    • 2.Structured frameworks risk imposing established hierarchies that suppress novel sensory appreciation emerging outside canonical traditions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Critical frameworks provide shared language that transforms isolated experiences into cumulative, communicable aesthetic knowledge.
