What Is Stuttering?

Improved Essays
Amazingly, this quote states that every time a stutterer sings, they can gain control of their voice and respiratory system. When people stutter, they have difficulty stopping at a certain syllable or word sounds. In singing, the syllables in words are sustained making it less difficult for the stutterer to become dysfluent. Singing also stimulates the muscles associated with the respiratory, phonation, and articulation systems. Thus, it has been founded that music, movement, and speech have a correlation in aiding stuttering.
Another example includes playing the drum, which could serve as an aid in production of fluid time speech.

    After hearing this short speech, I analyzed John Moore’s topic “Fluent Talk on Stuttering” and gained some knowledge to what he was trying to impact us with. He wants us to know that adult stutterers can minimize their stubborn talk with different methods to speak more fluently with others. I believe this is essential to know for a variety of reasons. Only one percent of the world’s adult population stutter, including him, and can damage those who do in many ways. This vital information can help adult stutterers with the consequences they face such as emotions they undergo, the perception from others as they hear, and above all the words they find difficult to pronounce.…

    Native American religion is peculiar, to say the least. In most religions, there is a central belief that everyone in that religion follows; however, Native Americans do not have beliefs cast in stone that everyone must to adhere to. In fact, it is quite difficult to refer to the beliefs of different Native American tribes as one religion, although, there are many similarities between them. Perhaps, it is more appropriate to separate each Native American tribe’s belief system into a different sect of a common religion, which they share. In general, Native Americans, themselves, do not refer to their spiritual practices as a religion, rather a way of life and essential part of their survival.…
