There is an art to music that is unlike anything else. Given that a person ahs no impairment that causes them to be unable to make or listen to it, it is the one thing, no matter the sound that every human can relate to. We dance, we sing, we just simply enjoy the melody of any tune. In the case of. Despite my never being born in Trinidad, I have always liked and related to. Perhaps that is why I chose to play this instrument that originated from where my parents are from. It is my belief that music is the one concept that has no color, and no discrimination that brings people together for the sake of enjoying music and having a good time Following Tinx’s fine advice from last time I was at rehearsal (Tinx. Personal Interview. 9 Feb, 20), 16 I walked around campus, listening to the music we played from the weeks before and beat my imaginary pan to the sound that was my respectively in the sound. Being very new to the Steel Pan, I was not a pro, or even a …show more content…
However, when the band expands, it becomes less of a micromanaging situation, and more of a situation where the people within their own band groups manage and themselves within the group (Chris. Personal Interview. 27 February, 2016). In addition, he described his love of athletes that becomes apart of the group. “Sometimes, when you have all music majors who are all working to get better , it becomes a competition, because the less people who are good, the more you shine. Yet, when athletes have worked with me in the past, they would always come in a little earlier, and leave a little later, and help everyone out around them. It is that team mentality that makes a band good, not just the drive to be the best out of all of the people in the group that makes the sound beautiful.” (Chris. Personal Interview. 27 February,

Mark Zepezauer’s article, “MK-Ultra from the Book the CIAs Greatest Hits” discusses the psychology experiment conducted by the CIA, MK-Ultra. The MK-ultra conducted a study that used mind control on their participants. Zepezauer recounts the events of the CIA tries to defend their stance by claiming they used the method in response to the brainwashing from the Chinese that was happening in the fifties. He says that mind control practices took place prior to 1953, but became popular after the experiment. He continues to explain how the CIA would use drugs, including LSD, and test them on their patients that were unaware of what tests were upon them. Zepezauer reveals that multiple suicides also took place in response to the given substances. He deliberated how the CIA rented out apartments and used prostitutes in their study. They used them to slip the drugs into their client’s pockets and the CIA would look through one-way mirrors to see the client’s response. Once the auditors discovered this, the MK-Ultra shut down and renamed the MKSEARCH. Mark Zepezauer
I’m pretty sure Craig Spencer felt the exact same way when he ate at a public restaurant, rode the subway, and went bowling in Brooklyn and look where that has gotten him. Troops who are returning from West Africa are being quarantined just like the astronauts of Apollo 11 were quarantined and no one thinks or thought any less of them for doing so. I believe that it is more heroic of them to have taken the necessary precautions to protect even more people than they already have rather than to just puff out their chests and say they’re invincible. In an article called “Ebola-Quarantine Objections are Frivolous,” Law Professor Eugene Kontorovich elaborated on the fact that courts have continuously advocated for quarantines for infectious diseases like tuberculosis and smallpox.
What is the purpose of music in society? Foremost, in layman terms, music is just sounds. However, individuals then use these sounds as a medium in order to spread certain ideas and emotions across society. Naturally over time different types of music become associated with different communities; thus, this identification creates an overgeneralized interpretation of who these communities are and what they stand for. One prime example is the stereotype that jazz and swing was the music of the African Americans in 20th century Los Angeles. Even though it may be true, the stereotype does not give an answer as to why or how jazz and swing became to be known as “black music”. In order to answer these questions, it is imperative to know what conditions
Since the dawn of mankind, clusters of innovations throughout history have allowed for societal progression at an explosive rate. While primarily fostering a centrifugal system of advancements; humans’ interests in expansion is spiraling out of control. Throughout history elements of collapse can be traced through civilizations and natural resources. Wright’s argument posits humans have hyperextended their utilization of resources at a rate that cannot be replenished, therein by setting up the world for the largest ecological collapse in history (Wright, 2004, pg. 130-131). Due to the cyclical process of past collapse and reformation humans have an advantage to rectify our current consumption rates ultimately avoiding a fate similar to past societies (Wright, 2004, pg. 131). As such Wright’s argument should frame larger discussions of responsible citizenship.
I believe that the argument put forth by Daniel Engster is valid, but not sound. There is one potential flaw with P5, and one with the derivation of P4 from P1-3.
For as long as mankind has walked on this earth, music has been an important part of our culture and lifestyles. Each walk of life beats to a different drum. Different cultures use music for many aspects of their lives; for religious purposes, for celebrations, for comfort, for sorrow, for relaxation, for sports, for dances, for energy, for learning, for sleeping, and for sexual experiences. Everyone uses music for something. Music connects with people and reaches them in ways that words simply cannot. Music is a representation of what feelings sound like. It expresses emotion and brings that characteristic out from within us; it tells us a story. Every generation has its’ own sound and different music styles have emerged and become
Music is something that everybody can relate to and feel. In any honor choir that I have been to, I always hear that, "Music is an international language." It's true, because anyone can relate to music based on the chords, notes, and energy of the piece. This winter I went down to the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks and sang in their honor choir for high school students. We sang a piece called "Lullaby" by Joe Miller which is about
The first objection Smart presented was the question of how someone could describe sensations without any knowledge of neurophysiology. The seventh objection Smart presented stated, "I can imagine myself turned to stone and yet having sensations" . Smarts responds with the same rebuttal to both of these objections; that even if A is identical with B, one can know about A without having knowledge of B. Smart uses the example of lightning being one and the same as electric discharge. People having knowledge of lightning but not electricity does not imply that lightning is not electric discharge. This response also defeats objection 7, since this conceivability argument only ensues when the person conceiving has an incomplete understanding of
I had fallen in love with every aspect of music there was: listening to it, reading it, and, most of all, speaking with it. To me, a language is a medium for people to communicate, and music provides us with that medium. Whether you listen to one song a day, can barely hum a tune, or on stage in Chinatown, we all speak to one another through music; you are taking part in the global exchange of ideas. And like languages, there is no real limit on what you can and cannot describe through music, just like with written or spoken words or art. But what makes music distinct, separate from just about any other language or art form is just how wide its reach is. While art is usually limited to the confines of a museum, and languages are limited to regions or certain cultures or people, on the other hand, music isn’t restricted. My friends and I will often listen to music from all around the world in various different languages, none of which we understand. Yet, we listen to these songs and still interpret the meaning of the music behind the lyrics. Music is more powerful than we will ever understand or give it credit for; but at least for a kid on stage in Chinatown, it was comforting to be surrounded by people speaking his new favorite language:
Gerald Graff is a professor of English and education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Graff, in his essay, emphasizes the importance for instructors to teach and increase enjoyable courses that students shall truly understand. Graff assures that all kids have hidden intellectualism trying to emerge from within, and as a teacher he feels partly accountable to help those kids develop their competencies in educational work. The essence of Graff’s argument is for students to know that intellectualism lurks within them all, and they need to implement their potential at school. Furthermore, he enriches the essay based totally on his own life experiences, along with his hidden intellectualism, while he attended school during the anti-intellectualism
The problem of the existence of evil in this world is a debate that seems to have no clear end in sight. It has stumped many eager, young philosophers and lead many to atheism. I think similarly though, that it has the potential to strengthen the deist’s belief if properly answered. Antony Flew writes an interesting paper attempting to use this line of argument to disprove the existence of a god. His main premise is that there is no direct evidence showing that God has significantly impacted the world. I believe that this premise is false, and therefore that his argument is invalid. God does significantly affect our life on this Earth, even if it is not appreciated by all. In addition to this, Flew’s statement that there is no support for Christian
I consider my ethnic and musical background to be not just African by blood; but American by birth. When I visited Africa, I noticed a lot of differences; as well as a lot of similarities, in the Western culture and African tribal culture. No matter where I am or the type of music I listen to, I have always been entertained and pleased by the sound of music; but I have always felt a deeper comprehension and connection through the power of music. The most rarest and extraordinary gift music has brought, that not many people; such as myself acquire, is the ability to truly relate to, feel, and live through the music; and have it live through you as well.
Music is often described as a different language, yet it is a language that everyone can understand. When you listen to an instrumental piece of music, it does not matter whether it came from the Americas, Europe, or Africa; music is music. I always believed that because music was a medium that everyone could understand; the process to get there was simple. I was wrong. When I was twelve years old I joined the band at my church, and I have been playing in that band for five years. Over the years, new people have joined the band, and they all come from different musical backgrounds. Our musical differences make it hard, at times, for us to communicate and interact when we play together. However, I have learned more about myself and the other members in the band by allowing their strengths to show me where I was weak.
