Role of Gender in the Transition of Music In the 1950s and 1960s, rock songs’ scope was typical heterosexual male singing and playing electronically amplified instruments loudly. However, by the early 1970s, singers like Dylan has begun to leave it behind. During the 1970s, a group of singers who were referred to as singer-songwriters emerged. These singers performed solo songs. The songs had slow melodies that portrayed a lot of emotions. They could help narrate a story and made musical sense from an emotional perspective. The success of this type of music in the late sixties and early seventies represented the continuous development of rock music to other genres like pop music. This type of music provided women with the chance of entry to the music industry. The songs were based on intimacy, emotions, and emphasis on words and melody, factors that made women more favorable for this kind of music. The women became a valuable asset in coffee houses where everybody wanted to listen to these songs that told a story. The use of songs to convey emotions became…
Ethnography Assignment – Nightclub-goers NYC & Boston Background and History Movie theatres, bars, sports events, live performances, and nightclubs are just some of the countless things that the contemporary metropolis has to offer to its people as a getaway from the stresses of modern capitalist life. The industry’s roots can be dated back to times even before the medieval ages. According to BBC, the Coliseum, one of the first comparable forms of entertainment providing venues to those of which exist today, opened its doors to the Roman public in 80AD[1]. However, what was shown in the Coliseum for the amusement of the public was quite different from what we would typically see in a Broadway spectacle for example. Romans would go see the killings of “literally thousands of people whom they saw as criminals, as well as professional fighters and animals”[2] – not the typical thing we 21st century people would go watch on a Sunday afternoon. Going back to the present, and switching the focus to night rather than day, a sub-industry within the one of entertainment, is the…
Social media have become a vital tool for artists — but are they good for art? The above article authored by Carolina A. Miranda, who is a staff writer with the Los Angeles Times, reflects on the relationship between artists and social media. In this era of social media, artists have benefited mainly from social media since they can share their content and push it to a bigger audience. The social media platforms have made their relationship with artist strict since the artists are not allowed to share content that may be sensitive. What I like about the article is that it gives real-time evidence on the artists who have benefited from the use of social media platforms; and the artists who found themselves on the wrong side of social media.

customer service consulting work ‘‘I was doing some customer service consulting work with an organiza-tion and everything seemed to be going well. Feedback from the field was positive and customers were positively commenting on the overall service attitude. Employees even commented on how much better everyone within the organization treated each other. I really think one of the keys to the success of the initiative was how much the leadership team embraced the importance of holding everyone accountable for delivering great service. Every leader went through a training class that focused on the subject of accountability. ‘‘I did receive a call from one manager who said that this ‘customer service thing’ wasn’t working with his team and that he was disappointed in the initiative. ‘Just this morning,’ he told me, ‘I saw that our receptionist wasn’t smiling or greeting customers. Nothing is different than it was before this service initiative.’ ‘Regarding the receptionist this morning,’ I asked, ‘what did you do about it?’ There was a long pause on the other end of the phone line before his reply,…

Value creation in all systems, processes, and procedures involved within the healthcare system is necessary to ensure maximum derivation of utility among healthcare consumers. This can be effectively and efficiently achieved through the application of health economics. Health economics always apply economic theories of social choices, production, and consumer behavior in understanding the behavioral patterns of all stakeholders involved within the healthcare sector (Tordrup, Chouaid, Cuijpers, Dab, Van Dongen, Espin, Bertollini, 2017).

Comparing Artistic Representations The artistic representations appear in the form of paleolithic or Neolithic, where the paleolithic is an era between 3 million and 12,000 years ago. On the contrary, the Neolithic is an era between 12,000 and 2,000 years ago. These times vary based on the section of the world one is looking at wherein. Specifically, the paleolithic is an era when humans discovered the stone tools, whereas, in the Neolithic period, humans began farming. To gain an in-depth comparison of the two eras, it would be meaningful to look at some aspects, one of them being painting. Starting with the paleolithic era, the type of painting made was cave painting, which was necessitated through some techniques like using a swab or a brush to apply paint as well as using the mouth to spray paint (Cothren & Marilyn, 2018). The cave paintings were marked with some scenes like animals, handprints, and hunting. With the focus on the Neolithic era, the paintings were done on the walls, though they were not durable when compared to the cave paintings in…
Use of Media in Promoting Policy Change Part 2 The Defunding Abortion Provider Policy in Texas As a nurse, I am happy with the various steps we have made as to the people of Texas when it comes to enhancing our healthcare services and system. The recent implementation of Defunding abortion providers in Texas is a clear indication of how we are supporting our healthcare. Although in united states, abortion is legalized in many states, there is still some part of us who object this move. Preventing the practice of abortion in the country is a very difficult step considering that it is legalized. The previous year, the state of Texas implemented the defunding abortion providers. This measure, referred to as Senate Bill 22, will prevent the state as well as the local governments from partnering with the agencies that provide abortion services (Davidson, 2019). This is applicable even if the agencies have a contract in line with services not associated with the procedure. The Senate Bill 22 policy framework shows the direction of the policy towards where it is…

Tentative Website Usability Study Introduction The university website has multiple users, including administrators, students, lecturers, and other support staff. Therefore, the first step would be to identify users from which I will survey to get the essential feedback needed to analyze the usability. The survey will require different tools in the three stages of collection, recording, and analysis. Collecting data and recording results To be able to collect data on website usability, I have chosen different tools to investigate two website usability aspects: user interviews and general usability. User interview tool – Google form – will be used to understand the impact of website design and layout on the user experience. I will send the forms to the users to fill and submit their responses online. One advantage of Google forms over other tools of data collection is it simplifies the analysis because it records and tallies the data (Gurnyak, 2018). The other tool that I will utilize is UsabilityHub software, which tests general website usability. UsabilityHub allows for analysis of all site activities, including; images that appeal most to…
