Noiseless Society

Music: made to inspire, soothe, and excite. The faster the music, the more exciting it is. Music stimulates the brain, improving cognition and pumping adrenaline. Music has been proved to help with learning and influence growth. Children who listen to Mozart ad Bach grow up to be statistically more intelligent than those who listen other types of music as children, or no music at all. School settings don't allow listening to music independently. I think that this is wrong. Yes, it is true that classic music is the best for young children. But if they grew up listening to something different, then listening to classic music will make them close their minds to it. And not everyone likes the same music. The only solution is to allow the independent listening of music during note- taking. i wanted to do this topic for many reasons, but mostly because i see good things coming from the subject. That, and its good to talk about something other than guns every now and then. Each type of music influences people differently. Rock and heavy metal unleash the carnal side, allowing the listener to let out anger. country brings out the sensual side, showing emotion. Rap promotes creativity and opens the mind. Classic shows maturity and class. Each person has their own select genre of music that they choose to claim as their own. this shows in the school.each person is subconsciously in their own clique. Music is the great uniter, yet it is forbade in school. Why? Why deny our youth the help and inspiration it so desperately needs? Now, when economic setbacks cut down schools funding and our schooling systems are slowly failing, a FREE jump start is just what we need right now.

  1. I agree with you TOTALLY on this subject. The points you have made on this is outsandingly accurate. Everybody has their own taste in music, so why only conform to what the school want YOU (The individual) to what they want you to listen to? If Rock helps you study better, they should let you listen to it! Nothing is better to concentrate with than what soothes your individuall soul.
