"My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require." (Elgar, 1998-2010). At present, that aphorism is nothing but true and heartfelt. In this world bursting with myriad cultures, the influence of music is akin to a global phenomenon. As the saying goes, different strokes for different folks? Suffice to say, different people have diverse ways of manipulation of music in order to suit their preferences. Being homo-sapiens living in a techno-bounded world, we are exposed to various forms of music from a wide array of sources. For instance, music is audible through speakers of the plasma televisions, a choir performance, computer games, if not just the everyday-life stereo radio. In view of that, the study of how music affects us both positively and adversely is important. By knowing the advantages and disadvantages that music can bring us enable us to utilize music safely, extensively and successfully. A survey on my topic "Effects of Music" was conducted throughout the investigation of my study on 30 people of different age ranges. They are of different groups of people who have different judgments on how music could affect an individual in today's world.
Music could certainly give an impact on an individual's emotional level and result in an effect on the ability of his or her brain to store and recall information. It is proven by the scientists that by listening to or playing music, an individual's brain could be altered and hence, the functions of our bodies. On the other hand, music aid for positive change in emotional states that will affect an individual's recovery from illness. In the medical world, a report published shows that the healing effects of patients could be increased by the aid of music. We know that, Cortisol and adrenaline are two "stress" hormones that are secreted by the adrenal glands in response to Synacthen test. In one trial, patients who had just received information about their needs for operations were tested for blood Cortisol concentrations after listening to a piece of soothing music, chosen by each patient during a consultation of music therapy; Cortisol levels were reduced 50% compared to the control group that did not hear listen any music. As there were effects on the Cortisol levels, it is hence obvious that emotions would be highly affected if a patient were to listen to sentimental music before an imminent surgery. Therefore, the extraordinary ability that music has influenced and manipulated the emotions and the brain is undeniable, and yet most can not be explicated.
By learning music, one's communication skills which are essential to our daily life can be strengthen. From my research, music therapist has also proven that music therapy provides a drug-free-way to set the mood in people with depression or foster socialization in those with limited means of communication. Not only that, it could force languages as they sing, and it would improve the communication skills and hence much easier for an individual to communicate with others. In a result, an individual could express his needs, resulting in an easier life for people to communicate with him.
Social behaviour is very much of a behaviour which is directed to the society or taken place between members of the same species. Nowadays, the society has been facing problem on the solutions of getting rid of youths who are involved in low level anti-social behaviour. This is said so because research found out that there are youths who having nothing better to do, are hanging around involving themselves into these anti-social behaviour such as swearing, smoking at public areas, harassing or raping. According to a railway station company, they found that these youths are creating intimidating feelings on their passengers because they often seem to look like they might have a violent agenda while loitering around the places. Hence, they ended up coming out with an idea of playing music to help the people there to pass the time while they are waiting for their train. So for the youths who are loitering around were to be exposed to some of the music which they dislike, they will have a strong response to the hostilities and remove themselves from the situation. Taking this factor into account it seems that there are contradictions in the evidence because the youths may involve in the negative behaviours again if the music played were to make them feel motivated on their bad actions.
