...Music is unique to human beings. We are the only species on earth capable of making and comprehending music. It has existed since the early stages of human life; it is believed that music was developed before language and speech. It has the power to change our moods and behavior, as well as affect the way we go about the things we are simultaneously doing. Music is constantly changing and evolving, and many times it shapes our current culture. There is argument over whether the music nowadays has a negative effect on America’s youth. Hip-hop takes the blame for many social problems in America, however many people overlook the influence it has and are unwilling to learn what it is about. Music, and more specifically hip-hop, has a positive influence on people and our culture in several different ways, including the way it affects the human brain, and the way it shapes and changes our culture and society as a whole. Music has an effect over people on a neurological level, which goes unnoticed by many. Music makes the human brain operate and can be beneficial at very early stages of brain development. Music helps immensely in learning and memorization; babies can even speed up their auditory comprehension due to musical exposure. Adults speak slowly to babies, annunciate syllables, and emphasize the pitch of their voice according to whether they are saying a demand or a question.

...Chapter One Introduction Fraternities and sororities are organizations that play vital roles in one’s college life, the educative community of colleges and universities, and the society that these organizations are in. These organizations are present in about eighty-five percent of all the colleges and universities around the world. Commonly referred to as Greek societies these organizations provide great opportunities for college students to develop their skills and appreciate their interests with peers whom they call and consider brothers or sisters. Being part of a Greek society poses a number of advantages to individuals that are in their college years. Membership in a fraternity or sorority gives students the opportunity to meet new people and enjoy college life while still excelling academically. These organizations provide greater fields for their members to excel in what they do best and discover more things and gain more knowledge about themselves. These Greek organizations present wider social and career networking thus making school and employment easier for their members.

Through all those things, they had been training for a moment like this. It was the first time the lanky sergeant had been put in charge, and he was nervous about it. Pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death, Amen. It was midafternoon, October 3, 1993. Eversmann's Chalk Four was part of a force of U.S. Army Rangers and Delta Force operators who were about to drop in uninvited on a gathering of Habr Gidr clan leaders in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia. This ragged clan, led by warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid, had picked a fight with the United States of America, and it was, without a doubt, going down. Today's targets were two of Aidid's lieutenants.
