Thesis

Not only does music affect thought, but it also benefits health. Students usually study in quiet, relaxed surroundings while listening to serene music. Classical music can steady a fast heartbeat and a slower heartbeat induces relaxation. Exercise plays a critical role in maintaining good health, and relaxing music can be favorable to this. Music reduces muscle tension, resulting in a better work out. Scientists performed controlled studies using adult males who were around twenty-five years old. Blood samples were taken before and after treadmill running. The experiment found that with the presence of music, “heart rate, blood pressure, and lactate secretion in the brain were significantly lower” . The results proved that music

Music can affect the body negatively. One of these effects is the fact that music can be addictive (Severance). According a scholar, if people go to long without their preferred music they can have headaches. The same scholar later stated that this is caused by disharmonic tones. Disharmonic tones are found most often in hard rock music and popular pop music (Severance). However, it seems as though the positives of music out weighs the negatives.

The brain scans highlighted the nucleus accumbens, a deep region of the brain that connects to dopamine neurons and is activated during pleasurable activities. Connections between the nucleus accumbens and other areas of the brain could predict how much a participant was willing to spend on a given song. The article is concluded with a quote from Salimpoor, “Music is an intellectual reward. It’s really an exercise for your whole

I. The possible health benefits of music are criticized, yet they yield depreciation in negative emotions, exemplify an increase in physical stimulus, and ultimately instills exponential development.

This annotated bibliography will be looking at how music affects the body and mind. Music is a universal thing, most people enjoy it and it’s common in cultures all over the world, from the vibrant music of Bollywood to the more mellow and calming Celtic music of Western Europe. Personally, I’m a music lover and I thought it would be fun and interesting to talk about music and see how it affects people.

Music is composed of sounds intertwined with melody and rhythm that can have powerful effects on a person. It can help people focus on tasks or calm the mind. Research has shown that music has beneficial effects on the mind, body, and health of a person. A journal article by Rastogi, Solanki, and Zafar (2013) refers, on the contrary, to:

In this lab, we tested the effect of different music genres on our subjects’ heart rates. We believed that faster, more intense music would energize the subjects, thus causing their heart rate to rise, whereas slow, calming music would relax our subjects, causing their heart rates to slow. The four genres of music we tested (our independent variable) were hard rock, fast classical, slow and quiet songs, and two songs they

This study uses empirical, longitudinal, and quantitative study as it’s methodology. The research design was descriptive and

The questionnaire was circulated among the under-graduate students of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Institue of Science and Technology, Karachi. All the participants of the research study were required to fill online survey designed on Google forms. Participants who took part in the study were between the ages from 17-27. After removal of the incomplete set of questionnaires, total of 50 out of 66 questionnaires were accepted and analyzed. Therefore, the total number of respondents, n=50 Males: n=38 (58.5%), Females: n=27

The mind is greatly impacted by music by showing healthful changes (www.bellaonline.com/articles/). Doctors now use music for their patients’ treatments in order to help them stay healthy (www.bellaonline.com/articles/). Heart patients acquired the same benefits from listening to classical music for thirty minutes as they did from anti-anxiety medication (www.bellaonline.com/articles/). Musical therapy has been used to help people with heart problems, which worked quite effectively. (www.bellaonline.com/articles/). People who have had migraines frequently, were trained to use music and relaxing procedures to reduce their headaches. Studies have also shown that music helps students with their intelligence levels (www.bellaonline.com/articles/). A majority of students had higher test scores than others because they listened to Mozart before their exam. People who listened to classical music for an hour and a half while revising manuscripts increased their accuracy by 21% (www.bellaonline.com/articles) (Mish 725.).

Music is arguably one of the world’s most important universal languages. Documentation of music can be found as early as Biblical days and can be heard all around. Think about all the places one is exposed to music: radio, TV, elevator, stores, restaurants etc. Every culture and country has its own style of music and the importance of music is paramount to individuals in many ways. Music is so powerful it can create a visceral response by lowering the heart rate and decreasing stress levels (Wright, 2017). Evidence has also shown music to activate areas of the brain that are engaged during “Other euphoria inducing stimuli such as food, sex, and drugs of abuse” (Wright, 2017, p. 3). Music, sound perception – the most powerful sense, can impact the way one feels and behaves (Wright, 2017). With evidence proving to have an impact on the brain both physically and emotionally, supporting a 5% tax increase to fund both curricular and extracurricular programs will enhance student’s development and provide to them a well-rounded education.

The survey created to conduct this research consists of twelve questions. Males and females were asked to take this survey and later the results were evaluated side to side to

Music elicits an emotional and cognitive response in all who listen to it. It is powerful at the individual level because “it can induce multiple responses – physiological, movement, mood, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral” (Francis, 2008,

The paper presents an analysis of the different factors influencing the restaurant industry and how these factors increase or decrease the demand for such services. The hypothesis that will be examined is that the performance of restaurants is mostly based on the type of food chosen by customers when they decide to go out for dinner, lunch, breakfast, or simply for a snack. What type of food refers mainly the nationality or concept of the food, (traditional American, Italian, Indian, Latin, or from any other type of culture). This factor is important because when customers go out to for dinner; they decide what to eat before deciding where to eat. That is why this factor is considerably important according to the hypothesis.
