...is lack of respect or disregarding someone. Most disrespect you may see will come from children. At their age it is easier to influence them in a negative way rather than adults. Things such as music, television, and social media are known to be a part of this. Research states it is very common for an adolescent to disrespect adults. It is often provoked by increased stress, depression, or violent feelings. One factor you will see is the lack of discipline. Growing up and learning about what’s wrong and what’s right is a crucial part of one’s life. Without discipline, people can grow up thinking they can do what pleases them and not get in trouble. That can include talking in a vulgar way, physical abuse and crime. Music can influence in multiple ways. The most direct way is the lyrics of the song. Sometimes a song will mention things such as beating up parents, allowing people to think this is acceptable. Another way is the artist themselves. Sometimes they will want to act just like their favorite artist. Sometimes that certain artist will be seen getting arrested or doing drugs and their fans will want to act in the same manner. It can take a post on social media, or an article in the news about the artist. Aside from the music, television may also have an effect on the child’s behavior. Certain shows and movies can promote violence and lack of respect. It is estimated that an average of 99% of families own at least one television. Therefore meaning the children with...

...Many times in public schools, there is a common chain of what is first to go when budgets are cut. Ninety percent of the time, arts education is the first to be lost. Arts education refers to any education in the disciplines of music, dance, theatre, and visual arts. There are many benefits to art programs in school. Most of the time, people don’t realize how much the arts affect a child’s life. These programs give children a safe place to explore their imagination or express their emotions. Many aspects of one's life are affected by having arts in the curriculum. Art courses in education can help to improve social and academic skills in a child's development throughout their life. The Arts Education Partnership broke down the different parts...

...learning about social norms of the world. Things portrayed to children in the media are thus perceived as social norms even though they are often the most extreme behaviors our society exhibits. It is important for parents and guardians to monitor their children's exposure to media or at least guide them in their understanding of what they are seeing/hearing/reading/etc. As our world is becoming more and more technology based and more and more heavily influenced by media, cutting out media exposure is not practical or realistic. Media does not only influence children in negative ways, however. Media can also have positive influences on children's developing minds. Because of this, well-monitored media exposure can be beneficial for a child's development when used in moderation. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2792691/ (Links to an external site.) Best Post Analysis This post was one of my best posts because I in depth discussed the affects of media on the development of children. In addition to that I discussed the roles that parents can and maybe should play in monitoring their children’s exposure to media. This post also addressed how media can have both negative and positive affects on the development of children. This post could have been improved by my writing, which was unclear and at times wordy. My thoughts could have been explained and articulated more clearly. This...

...unusual or limited actions. According to, "National Institute Of Neurological Disorders And Stroke”, Children with Autism may avoid direct eye contact, fail to answer when called by name, or repetitive issues, rocking, tapping, humming. Communicating with children with Autism can be an arduous task if you are not aware of Autism. Visual, sign language, and music can be useful to talk with or calm a child with Autism. Visual (photo) communication has been around for many years. According to Cafiero (1995), “The picture language has become a common language for the child with Autism and their family, and is used as a second language in the home”.(pg 2636). These images help autistic children show you what they want, or trying to say, and it has demonstrated that they are less likely to become overwhelmed or frustrated. They may use the pictures to help them in saying what they are trying to say. A photo of a bathtub and toys may show the child it is bath time, or a picture of a book may tell them it is story time, and time for bed. Photos posted all around the child's home helps them see what they may want. Such things may assist the child realize that there is more than one way to communicate.

The question remains, what’s the best approach to ensure this? How can society secure its children’s futures without impeding them in other areas of life? A substantial amount of people believe in the value of school, that it’s the key to everything in life. This isn’t wrong, however, will it be enough for kids later in life and what are schools missing today that could cause an adverse reaction tomorrow? The answer is simple, creativity...

...ASSIGNMENT: IP3 CLASS INFORMATION: Music 253 SEMESTER: Fall 2013 Kimberly Conner Folk Music in the Classroom The three main functions and characteristics of folk materials are that they are enchanting to a young child’s ears, they are natural in the world of young children and folk repertoire is closely related to activities of normal life such as ritual, work, child rearing, and entertainment (Loong, pg. 5). It is important to teach folk material in the classroom to introduce children to different cultures and languages other than their own. Folk music also teaches children their own heritage in a different more captivating way. Introducing folk music in the classroom also provides a basic foundation for constructing an early childhood music curriculum. In class we learned the Horah, a traditional Jewish folk dance that is performed at many Jewish celebrations for people of all ages. We also learned Charlie Over the Ocean, a singing game for children, and we also learned Snail, Snail which is a singing train that moves about the room. According to Dr. Loong’s article, Early Childhood Music, good and appropriate music that is used in the classroom requires five guidelines: 1. Choosing repertoire that has lasted a long period of time, 2. Choosing repertoire that is authentic, 3. Applying activities that can be spontaneously created and improvised by young children, 4. Exploring music that represents the diverse backgrounds...

...Sometimes music is conveyed through a person’s past familial memories in order to connect former moments to the present. In the memorable 1999 poem “The Myth of Music” English poet Rachel M. Harper ties music to the speaker’s memorable, yet distant memories of her family by employing auditory imagery, chronological form, and a reflective tone in order to convey how dependable music is, despite how complex her familial relationship might be with her distant mother and dedicated father. Harper’s auditory imagery connects her complex emotions of being reserved and unaware of her distant mother to the timeless nature of music and its capability to develop those emotions of her childhood to her father. The speaker’s distance is conveyed in her ambivalence...

...population and forced to live in harsh conditions. The sight of this child is both shocking and sickening; however, it is known that the secluded child cannot be released into society. By each child in the community being introduced to the child in the basement, they are all forced to be aware of the conditions which the child is living its life in. For the majority of the people of Omelas it is this awareness that is instilled into all of them that helps them make Omelas a seemingly utopian community. Instead of using their awareness of the child’s poor living condition to help it they try to justify its condition with their own actions. On the other hand however, those who choose to walk away from Omelas use their awareness of the child as a reason to leave the community. It is their ethical decision to do the only thing they can to help the child in the basement and that is not be a part of those who keep it there. In a non bias way the text allows you as a reader to observe two different ethical viewpoints on the treatment of the child in the basement, and ultimately make your own ethical decision regarding the issue of the child’s mistreatment. In the beginning of the story the text focuses mainly on the people and the seemingly perfect living conditions of Omelas. The people who live in Omelas believe that their lives depend tremendously on the seclusion and mistreatment of the child in the basement. Some of the citizens understand why the child must be sacrificed...

...four, which resulted in him having the ability to write big works and play many musical instruments proficiently by the age of twelve. He also had an exceptional hearing and memory that he notated almost an entire choral piece after hearing it once during his visit to Rome. He wrote many concertos (especially the piano concertos) and sonatas for his own virtuosic performance during the trip. Talent may helped in one’s musical journey but most importantly, it was Mozart’s passion in performing and music writing that won acclaim from the rich. Clara Wieck (1819-1896) is another example of a child prodigy born in a musically inclined family. Both parents played the piano and encouraged Clara to perform regularly at a very young age. She held concerts throughout Europe during her adolescence and was a very well-known piano virtuoso...

...Fine arts are something very powerful and can influence students in more ways than one. Whose life has been changed from the arts? You may not know it, but arts have had some impact on you. We’ve all taken regular art class, and I know I’m not the only one who is absolutely sick of it. I’m not good at drawing or painting, but I am good at dance. Dance is a fine art that I have a burning passion for; it’s a fine art that I’m completely in love with. I’m going to tell you about the different types of fine arts that could be offered in school.

...or parents more important in a child’s education? I look at it like this: a student is swept along on the influence of a parent much like a river flowing towards maturity. Sprinkled throughout this river are teachers who, like rocks, divert the flow. Sometimes they cause small eddies of current, sometimes they create a new channel, and always they make turbulence. Overall, the influence of the parent is stronger and more consistent, but a motivating educator can cause the student to see new patterns, consider new options, and develop new interests. The worst they can cause the child to react and think differently and as the child prepares for their life’s journey on a seldom placid ocean. In the early, formative years, the parent is the most important influence on a child’s education. There is no more important time in a person’s life than the early years when a parent’s love for reading and sharing make life long learning a possibility. As the child gets older the parent continues to dominate as the most important element in a child’s attitude and thus learning. Especially since most children spend less than ten percent of a calendar year in school. (That is 180 days times six hours per day.) Parents also can motivate their children more easily than teachers on a daily basis just based on the fact that the teacher has so many more children to care for. This motivation reaches beyond the basic curriculum. A parent can influence a child’s life by teaching proper eating and...

...various processionals through the city. Boys and girls in the Green Fields exercise their horses in preparation for the festival race. Bells clang and people sing and dance so that the city seems alive with music. In Omelas, the people have precisely what they need, and have managed to trim away the more destructive excesses of life. Despite their happiness, the people of Omelas are not simple. They are “mature, intelligent, passionate adults whose lives are not wretched” (2). Their lives are complex and they do not live in an idyllic fairytale, as the description of the city might suggest. In terms of law enforcement and government rule, Le Guin leaves this area vague stating only that there is no military presence within the city, and that the people are not governed by a king. There are no slaves and the laws that govern the city are not outlined, but Le Guin “suspects that [there are] few” (2). Furthermore, the people are free from the tyranny of religious leaders, as the city lacks any priests or oligarchical elements. Sexual mores in Omelas are left to the reader’s imagination. Lu Guin only suggests free love is readily available in the city, where potential lovers wander the streets ready to participate in sexual activity. This is, however, just a picture of life above ground in Omelas. Beneath the city lives a nameless child who knows only darkness and squalor. This child, of unspecified gender, is chosen from the population to exist as a living sacrifice that allows...

...are many individuals in a child’s life that helps mold them into a well-rounded adult. In most cases, this guidance comes from the child’s parents or other older, but in Sonny’s case, this guidance was expected from his older brother. In the short narrative, Sonny’s Blues, Sonny’s life was adversely affected by the decisions that his older brother made. The decisions that his brother made include leaving Sonny to stay with his fiancée Isabel and her family while he was in the military as well as not accepting Sonny’s not accepting Sonny’s decision to become a musician. While making his first steps, young Sonny ran and fell into the arms of his older brother. Sonny running and falling into the arms of his brothers arms symbolizes the relationship between the two. This demonstrates brotherly love in that it reflects how Sonny’s older brother is supposed to be there for him when he falls and how Sonny should expect for his older brother to support him. By the time both of the boy’s parents had become deceased, Sonny was still an adolescent and still in need of guidance. While sitting next to her death bed, Sonny’s brother made a promise to their mother that he would be the guidance that Sonny needed and the guidance that she could no longer provide for him. This guidance provided by Sonny, or lack thereof, changed Sonny’s life tremendously. When Sonny told his older brother that he wanted to become a musician, he refused to accept the fact that music would be his younger brother’s...
