How music affects us is connected through our brains neurochemistry, our mental associations with the music, our culture, and our spirit, which are all mentioned in this scientific journey. Through this journey the writer perplexed me with scientific and musical vocabulary and redundant examples, but at the same time, I was fascinated with his description of the anatomy of the brain and why we enjoy the music we prefer listening to. I must admit that I had high expectations for this book because of my appreciation for music and what a significant role it plays in my life. However, when I began reading, I found the beginning of the book to be very abstruse. Knowing the definitions of pitch, timbre, meter and loudness, to name a few, do not help me enjoy music more than what I already do.

Let’s Understand Each Other Better The article "Sex, lies, and Conversation," written by the professor of linguistics Deborah Tannen, explains us about the many dissimilarities amongst men and women that occur in the way they communicate with each other. It explains to the reader why there is a lack of communication and understanding between a man and a woman who aim to pursue different objectives through conversations. The article is a very effective passage that provides logical reasoning to support its claim of developing cross cultural understanding in order to avoid the clash of genders that is caused by failed conversations. Most of the women complain that men are not good conversational partners at home. According to the females, men do not listen or talk to them and do not contribute in day to day discussions.
On this journey towards adulthood, to find our identity we could start to value different things in our lives as opposed to what we were taught by our parents. In most cases, our family may accept us as whoever we are, because they are our closest connection, the people who grew up with us and truly care for us. Acceptance is the key to one’s sense of belonging. Most of us discover our true identity throughout our time at high school. It is one of the prime times of our lives where we discover what we truly want to do or to want to be.
Growing up is something that every one has to go through. No matter who you are you will grow up. When and how you grow could very from person to person. Every one has different experiences growing up which makes use all one of a kind, but we learn from the mistakes and keep on living trying not to make the same mistake. My life growing up and my parent’s lives growing up are completely different.
The beliefs I have about myself as an inspiring youth worker is to make a difference in the life of every youth I work with so they will have the tools to make the right choices when faced with life altering decisions. I have always been drawn to youth who are deviant or might have an edge to them. I can relate to youth who have had a dysfunctional home life; my childhood was far from perfect. I was lucky to have people in my life who were supportive and encouraging to keep me going on the right track. I know what it is like to make bad choices and I regret my actions I have made but I have learned from my mistakes.
A child who does not have positive experiences with their early childhood education may suffer both academically and socially later on in life, lacking the proper groundwork toward a good, solid education, I believe it it extremely important to instill a positive outlook in a child regarding education and learning in general. It’s so vital that a child be exposed to various learning experiences in order to grow as both a person, future student, and finally (hopefully) a successful adult. That being said, I would now like to discuss my own personal experience with my own early childhood education, from as far back as I can remember: As a child, I grew up with a set of wonderful parents, whom have always been extremely supportive towards me in every aspect of my life. I have an older half-brother and half-sister from my dad’s previous marriage, and they would visit on the weekends, which I loved. My dad worked as a director in the field of market research, and my mom, who had previously worked in a medical office, stayed home the first six or so years of my life.
Both these ideas are very different than each other on many different counts. Coming form an orthodox Indian family, it took me a while to understand and to recoup myself from the cultural shock I faced; there were many outlooks I encountered on my journey to find my sexual ethics and abide by them. Living in two worlds at the same time had left me confused about what is wrong and what is right. By writing these code of sexual ethics for the next generation, I hope to make it easier for them to blend in two different worlds faster, and without facing many challenges I faced differentiating between the two different views. Sexual ethics are very important; they build one’s future.
Music, while such a large part of daily life around the world, is often regarded as little more than entertainment. However, what many do not realize is that music is an efficient and significant system of communication that impacts the lives of all people around the world. This essay will briefly speak of the history of music, from the debated origins of music to the evolution of music technology.

Specifically, one will read of how music is a powerful tool of rhetoric that has been used as protest, as a means of raising awareness and of uniting a group of people.
They are the first “other” which influences the belief of the “self”. In my experience “other” ideas were taught to me since birth, and this isolated my mind from thinking in any other way, it created a juxtaposition between the self and other in me. I was the other, whilst now I strive to become self. It is hard to identify if one has been indoctrinated, and it is even harder to rebel against the ideals which one has been taught. I hope to show my opposition to the ideals which have been forced upon me without reason in my final work.
