...According to Elizabeth Scott’s “Is Music a Good Tool For Health?,” music affects the body and mind and is a helpful tool for us to improve our health. Furthermore, music therapy is a growing field of health care using music as a therapeutic tool. Many hospitals take on music therapists in order to help with mental and physical illness. The author concludes music is a good tool for health, and I strongly agree with the author when she claims that music influences the body and mind in many ways. Most importantly, I believe that music is a good tool to help the body in staying healthy. The author stated in her article that “Breathing and heart rate may be affected by the changes music can bring.” That is to say, if we listen to the slow rhythm of music, our breathing and heart rate will slow down. This can mean both breathing and heart rate can be adjusted by the alterations of music. For example, we can find that music is used to control breathing and heart rate in order to stay calm like a meditation. Breathing is an important factor for people who practice meditation and meditation music is performed to help them. According to the article, music helps with pain management and eases muscle tension. I have experienced the moment of relaxation response when I went to the dental office. While lying on the examination table, I was very nervous. But I released my nervous tension soon because there was a slow jazz groove. Relaxing the muscles or parts of the...

It is universally acknowledged that we can use a smart phone not only chat or text with others but also play games, read books, listen to the music, surf on the internet. Sometimes we can even say that smart phone is a small computer. Obviously, we use smart phone as an entertainment tool. Firstly, smart phone can be used as an audio player. It can provide you the music whenever you want , like everyday in the metro, music is necessary for me. Secondly, a smart phone sometimes can be instead of e-book. Although I think that E-book is popular nowadays, you don’t need to buy it if you have a smart phone. In addition, downloading books in phones instead of buying books in stores also means that you are an environmentally friendly person. Simultaneously, many games are free to access if you are tired from work or study. Finally, smart phones can be used in different ways so in my opinion, using a smart phone as an entertainment tool can make our life becomes simple and colorful.

...used as a therapeutic tool? Based on various definitions, Zumba can be defined as an aerobic fitness program that combines Latin and international music with dance moves. According to the oxford dictionary, therapy is defined as a treatment intended to relieve or heal a disorder. On the other hand, therapeutic tools are tools that are used to maintain or restore one’s health. Researchers have discovered that zumba can be used as a form of therapy. Based on my research, I have gained the understanding that the related aerobic moves conducted during a zumba session are beneficial to one’s health and can be used as a effective therapeutic tool, especially for individuals with illnesses and disorders. Three ways in which I think zumba may be used as therapeutic tools are; Effective Calorie Burner, Weight Loss and as Stress Therapy. Firstly, zumba can be used as an effective calorie burner. According to a recent zumba study led by Dr. John Porcari, a person can burn an average of 369 calories (9.5 calories per minute) after doing a 38 minute session with an average heart rate of 154 beat per minute. Of course the actual calorie burn will depend on the energy you get from the session, the instructor, the type of music, dance moves, and your actual mood. Calorie burn is also compared with other exercises studied in the past. However, it was discovered that zumba could help burn more calories than step aerobics and cardio kickboxing. Secondly, zumba is also a good weight-control exercise...

...Heritage Assessment: Evaluation of families, cultures and views on health Anniemae Stubbs Grand Canyon University Culture and Cultural Competency in Health Promotion NURS 429 Professor Alma Celaya June 19, 2016 Heritage Assessment: Evaluation of families , cultures and views on health Cultural Heritage is a concept that is passed on from one generation to the next that depicts how people live, act, behave, or think. It can be a noticeable or vague manifestation. It includes various customs, traditions, practices, values and belief (ICOMOS, 2002). Heritage can be identified through relics, structure, sceneries, foodstuffs, clothing, linguistic and religious ceremonials. Cultural heritage is important to civilization and is needed for identity and self-realization. In nursing it is important to have self-awareness and process knowledge of the various diverse cultures in order to administer holistic care to each patient (Edelman & Greiner, 2010). Data can be acquired and utilized by health professionals to render unbiased and safe care. This can be done by conducting a heritage assessment using the heritage assessment tool.

...this research is to state the effects of pop music (and music videos) to overall well being of children and teens. This paper will focus on the negative side, on two major fields: Behavior (including health) and Interpersonal relations. I picked 10 current Pinoy music videos of varied genres. I formulated a mini questionnaire and let random children and teens answer it. It took me almost 3 weeks to gather information and make conclusions. I chose to do a research on the effects of listening and watching pop music/music videos because me, myself is an avid listener and viewer of pop music. It will be much easier for me to do a research if I choose a topic, which is very relatable/close to my heart and to my being. And also, the reading assigned to me in the class, which is an experiment to pop music video viewers and its effects to gender and sexuality of teenagers, influenced me to do this paper.

Meditation improves a person’s concentration which results in a clear mind which makes an individual more productive, especially in creative disciplines like writing (Pettinger, 2012).

...fundraiser. There are schools, health organizations, medical clinics, homeless shelters, and food banks to name a few. Successful planning and organizing a fundraiser will make this project successful. To begin the planning stage of this fundraiser, I will need to do much research. This is going to be a book fundraiser. Looking at cost effective ways to hold this fundraiser is crucial since the outcome is to raise money for a particular organization. I will first look at a venue. Is it less expensive to hold a fundraiser on the Internet or is it more cost efficient to hold it a location. Having a fundraiser on the Internet does not seem a personable to me. However, it might be more cost efficient. Holding a fundraiser at a physical location seems that it would be more successful. The advertising and promotion of a fundraiser are just as important. Getting the most exposure to the public will help with the success of my fundraiser. I will need to research to find out if advertising and promoting this book fundraiser is more or less expensive than with actual physical advertising. I am leaning more to the physical advertising because I think it will bring more success to my book fundraiser. Using the Internet to research these options will be my first plan of research. In an article on nonprofit organizations, it was noted that there has been an abundance, even an-overabundance, of health –based nonprofits in the United...

...fellow INFP, I hope you’re ready for a bit of self-exploration. I truly hope that everyone else will come along and look deep into themselves as well. One beautiful aspect of art that I feel isn’t captured enough is how it makes people reflect internally. When most people talk about art their first thought isn’t about how it’s a pouring out of your soul, your mind, your ideas, your hopes, your dreams. While I will be directly addressing the benefits of art for INFPs, everyone in the universe can benefit from art and I truly believe that everyone should. Sometimes people are scared or afraid of art. Not enjoying it, just doing it themselves. We all enjoy art on a daily basis. Anything that’s been created is art! Any meal, any movie, any music. It’s all art! I understand why some people are scared, I must admit, there was a point in my life where I was terrified...

...family as a structure. The family includes members of different age group from newborns to elders. The family’s activities and reactions influence the patterns of the family as a whole (Edelman, Kudzma, & Mandle 2014, p. 2014). The ultimate aim of the treatment is to expedite the fitness of the family. Family health valuation defines the assessment of actual and potential problem of individual (Gordan 1994). The goal of health care is giving straight and indirect treatment to the person and the community in terms of valuation, analysis, nursing interventions, application and estimation. Historically conceptual models are used to assess the family in nursing practice. Health assessment included with subjective and objective data. Here Gordan’s 11 functional health assessment patterns are used to assess this family. The Gordon’s functional assessment patterns are a valuable tool for assessing and evaluating the family’s traditional health patterns, and permitting the health care provider to look at the inside of the overall health of the particular family.

...individual. Health cultural values “shape human behaviors and determine what individuals will do to maintain their health status, how they will care for themselves, and others who become ill, and where and from whom they will seek health care” (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). Transcultural nursing is a practice to transform health care and help people of diverse cultures. An analysis of Leninger's vision for the work of transcultural nursing indicates that there are many barriers and issues in health care, particularly for persons from diverse cultures. For instance, health care for poor Americans and ethnic minorities is less than optimal because they are unable to pay for services because of lack of insurance (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). Ethnicity is a reference to a collective identity, a sense of uniqueness within the larger society, and a distinction from nonmembers. Ethnicity denotes a sharing of customs, food, dress, music, religion, and of symbols, such as language, among those who see themselves as fellow members of the group (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). An ethnic group may have “common geographic origins, family patterns, language, religion, values, traditions, symbols, music, dietary preferences, and employment patterns” (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). The ethnic group includes those members with the sense of belonging to the collective identity. A traditional method of maintaining, protecting, and restoring health requires the knowledge and understanding of health related resources...

...linked with financial data illustrated in exhibit 1. Our finance and accounting knowledge will be a necessary tool as we will use them to match each financial data and ratios to the company to which they belong to. First we will analyze the first industry presented in our case, the health products. Company A and B of the health products industry have a different scope in terms of their customer and market base. Company A is the world’s largest prescription-pharmaceutical company and obviously has more market share than Company B. In fact at first glance, we can see that for most data of the assets, liability& Equity, and Income/Expenses section, company A values are higher than those of company B. Taking a closer look at the financial data and ratio, we will analyze some major and subsections of the financial data in Exhibit 1. Starting with the Assets section, Company A has higher values than company B in Current assets, Net Fixed assets and lower values in intangibles. The high value of company A current asset means it has a good source of fund in its day to day operations. Also company A seems to have more funds available for the firm’s operations due to its high value in fixed assets. Company B high value in intangible on the other hand comes from its high number of brand recognition. This precedent factor fits the description of the other company of the health care product whose brand development is a major element of its mass market oriented strategy. From the above...
