	Cocktail party effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The cocktail party effect describes the ability to focus one's listening attention on a single talker among a mixture of conversations and background noises, ignoring other conversations.
		The cocktail party phenomenon can occur both when we are paying attention to one of the sounds around us and when it is invoked by a stimulus which grabs our attention suddenly.
		For example, when we are talking with our friend in a crowded party, we still can listen and understand what our friend says even if the place is very noisy, and can simultaneously ignore what another nearby person is saying.

	Amazon.com: The Cocktail Party: Books: T. S. Eliot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Although this play of 1950 was Eliot's first full-length comedy, he had made an earlier stab at the genre in the 1920s: "Sweeney Agonistes," a first-rate work that unfortunately remained unfinished and is now included in collections of Eliot's poetry.
		Yet I think T.S. Eliot would have been better inspired if he had gotten away from this bourgeois aristocratic society that is nothing but vain cocktail parties and superfluous appearances.
		It is such a witty, humorous comedy that mocks the modern ages, and pretty much everyone who seems to be a part of this insane, chaotic world (at least as I understood it).
