Loudness

The unique ability of communication i.e. conveying information has made possible the evolution of human society. The history of communication shows mankind`s search for ways to express itself, to gain knowledge and to prosper. Lives of humans are related to each other. Initially, the most challenging task for a man was to put forth his thoughts. It was impossible to convey one`s thoughts through gestures and body language thus words were invented. Thoughts can be portrayed in the form of words…

motor deficits as well as communication impairments. Spastic dysarthria is seen in 35% of children with spastic CP (Hustad et al., 2010). Their speech and voice is characterized by hypernasality, breathy voice quality, monotonous speech, reduced loudness, and uncontrolled rate and rhythm of voice. Dependent on the severity of the spasticity, these children may experience extreme difficulty communicating with others. Language skills include lack of turn-taking, replying, answering or asking…

people’s personal space? In what ways does this source of influence differ from the others? When we are out in public we display certain societal norms, it is different for everywhere we go. For example, when going into a bank you know to hold the loudness in your voice to a certain degree while talking to the cashiers. You also know to wait in line for your turn and not cutting people in line. Walking into class for example you wouldn’t be coming in drunk and acting like it’s a bar, you come…

If you have ever thought about multiple things or have the problem of overthinking a lot, this piece really depicts that. The loudness of the piano, the fast and exciting tempo they are going at. It is an extremely powerful, passionate piece and is the hardest movement in terms of skill. One of the things I noticed from this piece is that it is not all loud. The piece is not crammed…

Whilst doing the Television workshop, our production team had many strengths and weaknesses. Our main weakness being communication between group members. This overall impacted our show and the quality of our contents, although we did surprise ourselves with the outcome. In my critical reflection, I will be outlining the skills I developed in this workshop, what the process and outcome was like for our final show and what further professional development I may plan to achieve. Doing the…

The Hunt Adaptation is the action of becoming adjust to a new condition or new a surrounding. Every individual can adapt to a new surrounding, yet if unsuccessful one tends to do more harm than good. One author who brings this to reality is Richard Connell. In his work, "The Most Dangerous Game", Connell tells the tale between two hunters, Rainsford and Zaroff. Rainsford is a big game hunter from New York City who finds himself trapped on an ominous island after falling off his…

courtesy. That I believe to be tolerant. Moreover, such toleration is a necessary intellectual courtesy, a prerequisite to rational debate. If disagreeing parties do not extend this courtesy, then discussion becomes impossible. Consequently, the loudness of the screams and denunciations made by one party against the other takes the place of rational thought and sheer volume wins the argument. This hardly befits the very idea of the university. In fact, it is its contradiction. To reject…

While music and language are both processed by the auditory cortex, language generally considered to be lateralized to the left hemisphere, and properties of music to the right. However, some features of sound are common to perception of both music and language. These common features include pitch, timbre, and hierarchical structure. In music, perception of pitch is important in identifying aspects such as melodies and harmonies in a musical piece. In non-tonal languages, variations of pitch…

We listen to music and hear sound in our everyday lives, whether we are listening to the music in our car, or we are listening to the sound the vacuum makes when it is turned on. Sound and music however, are not a simple concept in physics. There are so many topics and under those are subtopics. These topics include waves, which is what we will be focusing on today. Sound waves are made very easily, in fact we create them every day. They can be created by smashing two cooking pans together, this…

for [Addie]. You never had”(Pg19). Yet, Faulkner makes it clear through his use of stream of consciousness that Jewell truly does care for Addie, perhaps more than any of the others even. While Addie is dying, Jewell loudly protests the extensive loudness of the rest of the family; harshly criticizing his brother Cash for making a coffin for Addie while she is dying (Pg19), and the rest of the family for “sitting there, like buzzards”(Pg15). Through this, Faulkner establishes Jewell as fiercely…
