...Questions to Consider 1. What do ethnomusicologists mean when they say, “Music is universal, but it is not a universal language”? They mean that music is not a language because music does not have specific symbols in standard patterns and does not have grammar rules and also music can mean different things to people in different cultures. 2. What are potential problems in classifying music as “classical,” “folk,” or “popular”? The problem is that they suggest that one type of music is better than the other and also different cultures may have different definitions for what “classical,” “folk,” or “popular” music is. 3.How might an ethnomusicologist approach the study of Western Classical music differently from a musicologist? An ethnomusicologist might approach to study Western classical music and its effect on the Western society and a musicologist would just study the music as a whole. 4. What is “fieldwork”? What is it’s importance to the study of world music? Fieldwork: The first hand study of music in its original context, a technique derived from anthropology. it gives researchers a better understanding of the music they are studying since it gives them the opportunity to be out in the real world interacting with the people of the music they are studying 5. In what ways does world music study require an interdisciplinary approach? because not only is the music itself being studied, but the culture is being studied as well. 6. What...

...“That which is accepted as knowledge today is sometimes discarded tomorrow.” Consider knowledge issues raised by this statement in two areas of knowledge.(Question #4) Technological advancements and increasing globalization in our world have led to vast improvements in the access and diffusion of knowledge in almost every single society. The statement, “That which is accepted as knowledge today is sometimes discarded tomorrow.” raises certain issues about the nature of knowledge and the implications of knowledge as we know it. Hence, it will be my aim to explore whether or not knowledge can be the same for everyone, and to investigate the timelessness of knowledge, questioning if it is actually possible to discard knowledge. The scope of this essay will focus on the natural sciences and human sciences in terms of Areas of Knowledge (AoK), and reason, perception, and language within the various Ways of Knowing (WoK). Whilst I realise that perhaps any AoK could have been utilized to explore the extent to which knowledge is personal or shared, the natural and human sciences lend themselves particularly well to this investigation due to the prominent role of inductivism in both these AoK. The five key steps to inductivism; observation, hypothesis, experiment, law, and theory require the use of perception and reason to validate knowledge in these AoK, and hence the aforementioned WoK become distinctly useful in the analysis of this knowledge ...

...What Is Critical Thinking? Essay Question Details: Find three sources that discuss critical thinking. One source should be from the assigned and/or optional readings, and the other two should be found through your own research. Read the three sources, and consider how they define critical thinking. In 300-500 words, explain your own personal definition of critical thinking. Keep the following guidelines in mind: Select a direct quote from one of your resources to include in your explanation. A reference page that documents the three sources you found (and any other resources you used) is required. Remember, all outside sources must be cited both in-text and on your reference page. The articles you found in your research may influence your definition, but your own ideas should be evident. In other words, your process should be: a) Read some definitions and descriptions of critical thinking; b) Comprehend or digest the information; and c) Write your own definition of critical thinking.

...Coach carter has always left a ever lasting impression on me because of the hard work and dedication displayed by coach Ken Carter. In 1999, Carter became a coach in his old high school located in Richmond, CA. The high school is surrounded by poverty and violence from gangs in surrounding areas. Little did Carter know he became a coach for a basketball team that was very de-motivated, and lacking the grades required to get into College/University. Carter wanted the maximum commitment from his team, he decided to create a contract that states that the boys will have to do things that they were never used to. The contract entails that the boys will have to show respectful behavior, dress in a professional manner, and obtain sufficient grades in order to stay apart of the team. He realized that his team was failing to meet the requirements of the contract in regards to grades and takes immediate action and cancels all team activities and locks the court until the grades prove otherwise from all members of the team. Carter was determined to better the future of every single boy on that team as long as they showed dedication to improve. He wants the boys to not only be the best in basketball but also the best in their future by making sure they do everything he asks of them listed in the contract. The amount of passion and dedication Carter displayed, has made this movie the best sports...

...Chapter 5 Review Questions 1. Describe systems analysis and the major activities that occur during this phase of the systems development life cycle. During systems analysis, you determine how the current information system functions and assess what users would like to see in a new system. Requirements determination, requirements structuring, and alternative generation and selection are the three primary systems analysis activities. 2. What are some useful character traits for an analyst involved in requirements determination? Requirements determination is a crucial part of the systems development life cycle; therefore impertinence, impartiality, relaxing constraints, attention to details, and reframing are important characteristics. 3. Describe three traditional techniques for collecting information during analysis. When might one be better than another? Traditional techniques for collecting requirements include interviewing and listening, observing users, and analyzing procedures and other documents. Interviewing and listening involve talking with users individually or as a group to discover their views about the current and target systems; it also involves carefully preparing an interview outline and guide before conducting the interview. Interviews are best done when only a few people are involved, when you need open-ended questions or the questions vary from individual to individual, or when a more personal method is needed. 4.
