life. During this week's assignment, I was asked to complete the Rokeach Values Survey. I did eighteen terminal values and eighteen instrumental values. Number one of the survey meant what matters most to me and number eighteen meant what matters least to me. My top three terminal values are salvation, a comfortable life, and health. My top three instrumental values are loving, responsible, and obedient. I feel that these will benefit my leadership style because I will be…

Bem organized her 60-item scale into two categories, instrumental and expressive personality traits. Instrumental traits such as being dominant indicate masculine gender roles, whereas expressive traits such as being gentle are considered feminine traits (Vafaei et al., 2014). Further breakdown of the original scale are as follows: 20 masculine/instrumental items, 20 feminine/expressive items, 20 neutral items. Bem believed the feminine and masculine…

me in the field of music. The admission for Wayland is around $12,960 and for room and board is $5,952 and for books and supplies $1,650 and part-time tuition $495(college-tuition). The field that I will be studying is music. I want to take the instrumental class, which is to learn every instrument and to get to know how to use them and play them.

establish strict rules that they expect their children to follow. These rules are usually enforced with punishment and instrumental aggression. Every parent has their own preference and opinion about the different parenting styles. The most common parenting style is the authoritarian style. This parenting style may seem like a good style to partake in. However, the instrumental aggression, that is pivotal to the discipline process in this style, may result in long-term detrimental cognitive…

in New York and Michigan. The author mentioned two types of policing, which are different than community based and intelligence led policing. The two types are instrumental and normative models of policing. Instrumental is defined as expected rewards and penalties for cooperation. Normative focuses on legitimacy and morality. Instrumental policing is based on the public obeying the law for fear of punishment or the public will aid and assist the officers so that they will not be harassed by…

Learning is the acquisition of new information or knowledge and memory is the retention of learned information. The Canadian psychologist, Donald Hebb pointed out that memories can result from subtle alteration in synapses, and these alterations can be widely distributed in the brain. Hebb reasoned in his book “The Organisation of Behaviour” that the internal representation of an object ( for example a circle drawn on a piece of paper ) consists of all the cortical cells activated by the…

Hannah Arendt discusses the theoretical view of violence being uses simply as an “instrumental character” (Hannah Arendt, 1969). I believe this is correct, however, this definition is over simplified allowing the effects of violence to be neglected. By plainly saying that violence is an instrumental character and the impacts of violence on terror are ignored. When Hannah Arendt says that violence is an instrumental character, this could mean that violence is used as a tool to gain power. This…

Glaucon’s defense of psychological egoism (i.e., instrumental self-interest) is insubstantial. Whilst, human beings do maintain levels of self-preservation, these aspects do not negate any instances of altruistic behavior in society. In this sense, self-preservation is present, whether consciously and/or…

The instrumental musicians seem to be following Billie Holiday in the song, “Love Me or Leave Me.” She contributes a strong vocal presence while the trumpet, alto saxophone, and piano compliment her voice. The trumpet and the alto saxophone lead off the song and Billie Holiday joins in powerfully at 00:17. Her voice seems to dominate at times, particularly towards the end of each chorus. During most of Holiday’s verse, the trumpet and alto saxophone are not as clearly noticeable as they are…

school instrumental music and its impact on students’ identity formation. The results of this article suggest that the students involved in middle school band identified themselves by their participation in the music ensemble (Hoffman, 2012). I am sure other research is available on this particular population, but I was not able to find it. The gap in this area of research presents a need for this study. The purpose of this proposed research study is to determine the effect of instrumental…
