Why do people like music? Music seems to be a natural need for people. I’ve read that from ancient times human beings have produced sounds from "instruments" like rocks or skins stretched over a wooden frame. Music is something most people want and need. I think it’s important because it can be a major part of both community and individual experience. Music is a way of sharing a common bond or feeling. When we’re children‚ we learn very simple songs called nursery rhymes. These songs help make

I absolutely loved Stephen Hinshaw’s essay “ What Is The Triple Blind” and I couldn’t agree with it more. He made extremely strong points that boys and girls need to be educated on. Especially students in grades 9-12‚ which seem to be the hardest for all gender’s.
