Music

 
  Music is very important factor in our lives. Music can affect peoples attention, emotion, cognition and behavior. People can communicate thought music expressing their feelings and using vocal. It can also help about relaxation and pleasure, happiness and sadness. Listening to happy vs. sad music can affect the way you perceive the world around you. According to statistics: 86% of users of the Nordoff-Robbins music therapy services said that music therapy had enabled them to develop social skills and interaction (Nordoff Robbins, n.d.).
    Julian Levy(2017) shares the six major health benefits of music therapy: Music therapy reduce anxiety and physical effects of stress. It improves healing. It can help manage Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Music therapy reduce depression and other symptoms in the elderly. It helps to reduce symptoms of psychological disorders including schizophrenia. Music therapy improves self-expression and communication. All of these are very interesting facts. 
    Listening to music can also enhance other stress-relieving activities . For example, it can aid in practicing yoga, self-hypnosis or guided imagery. In other words, music can enhance the stress-relieving properties of other relaxing activities.  A lot of people are listening to music just to relax. Music can also help the brain reach a meditative state. This promote relaxation.
    Music also can be used in schools. Music therapy can be used to improve children’s behavior and wellbeing. It can help children learn classroom rules, improving attention and focus, and promoting self-expression. Finally, music therapy can be used in schools to improve social skills and  communication. For example, it can help with “wh” questions (who, what, where, and when) and develop vocabulary.  What is very important for kids. It can be used to promote academic understanding in mathematics, such as teaching math facts, telling the time, and money concepts.  Music therapy can also target academic improvement in reading and writing. For example, music therapy improves phonic and sight words, and story elements.

The entire human body replaces itself about every 7 years

     Today's alternate fact is "The entire human body replaces itself about every 7 years." Did anyone know about it? I did not! I think it is pretty interesting fact to read about. But does everyone like to read? I don't think so! Some people might have troubles with reading and understanding what is it about or it takes so much time. For this we have visual facts, videos that we can watch. So, today I am going to compare 2 sources that I chose. One is going to be only primarily text and the other one is primarily visual and you all can decide what is better for you.     A written article is more about understanding and paying attention to each word. In primarily text author includes strong details and strong words since we can't see any pictures. We also can see written examples. We have to have imagination. That way we can imagine pictures in our heads. In the article I chose we can paragraphs and each paragraph has a title and a different meaning. What I think

How do I feel about blog?

      I am trying my best for my blog to meet all the rubric criteria and I think I am doing pretty good with it. I have some struggles thought. Sometimes it's really difficult to write a certain number or words but I write as much as I can.     I love writing as long as I can write my thoughts. I was a little bit  stressed when we had to read articles about George Taylor and Kamala Harris. It was difficult for me to read and understand the difference between these two candidates. It took me few times to read each article and compare these two candidates.     I am putting all my efforts into my blogs. I spend a lot of time on each blog. I am choosing the best pictures for it and I am checking all my grammars to make sure it's in a good shape. After I post my blog, I usually read it one more time and check for grammars. I am trying to follow all the rules that my Instructor gave us and finish all my work in time.     I don't really mind if someone reads my blog. Just sometim

Social Media

     Social media has become the main source of news online with more  with more than 2.4 billion internet users , nearly 64.5 percent receive breaking news from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat and Instagram instead of traditional media. But, can we trust everything what says in social media? "There are  many "fake news" websites that compete for attention with sensational headlines and ridiculous storylines that tend to get shared more often due to the lack of readers fact checking or reading more than the headline. That means that authentic content is hard to come by now. In fact, fake news is actually more likely to spread than the truth," said Martin, Nicole.  I agree with it. It seems like we can't trust social media. Most of the time they make up the news. That way more people want to read the news and the website gets more views.     News happens fast now. Today’s story will be tomorrow’s forgotten story. It is easy to miss things now because of how
