"Riots in the US." Gale Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection, Gale, 2015. Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/PC3010999319/OVIC?u=ggcl&sid=OVIC&xid=d43b1569. Accessed 10 Mar. 2020.

   The article of which this topic talks about is the riots of the U.S. and how they are started, contained, and ended. In the midst of racial tension in America it is widely believed that the causes of theses riots are because of police brutality caused by racial profiling and racism in general. The U.S. is literally the only country that has violent protests due to these fatal shootings and encounters with policemen on African Americans.

"Cloning." Gale Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection, Gale, 2020. Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/PC3010999161/OVIC?u=ggcl&sid=OVIC&xid=765a0c13. Accessed 11 Mar. 2020.

  The article talks about a very controversial topic, cloning. The ability to be able to create two of the same organisms with very little if not no differences at all. Cloning has a natural occurrence in nature as bacteria is asexual and reproduces with itself making differences not at all different. But humans have used their knowledge of cloning and used it for food production in the world. It can also be used for medicine production. The first animal ever cloned was a mammal in the 1970’s. The practice is thought to be able to bring back extinct animals of the world. One specimen that can be used in doin that is a frozen carcass of any select animal and using the dna in its tissues.

"Airport Security." Gale Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection, Gale, 2019. Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/PC3010999021/OVIC?u=ggcl&sid=OVIC&xid=0ed5e3f3. Accessed 12 Mar. 2020.

Airport TSA security is a custom that every airline passenger goes through. The job of airport security is to make sure no weapons are brought onboard a plane. The practice has been used since commercial flight started in the 30’s. Without the TSA there would be a more likelihood of aircraft getting hijacked and held for ransom or worse possibly a terrorist act. The TSA airport security completely destroys the risk of attack on a commercial plane from the inside. The procedures the TSA have done over the years compared to now makes a whole leap in technology and intelligence to mitigate the risk of a terror attempt/ attack

The Effect of Music on Humans

     Music has been involved in human history for thousands of years and it’s popularity overtime has grew exponentially ever since the 20^th century. The popular audio form of art reason for its popularity is because of humans. We like listening to sounds that make us feel happy and when we hear such sounds we tend to keep listening to those sounds because of chemicals released by the brain which is connected to happiness and euphoria when these emotions are released while an individual is listening to a song they like it causes it to be a connection between the two.

    The impact of music on people is huge and complex and even the region of the specific music genre has a impact on the musical background of the area. The special thing about music is that it isn’t only made by one set group of people it is made by people all over the world which is the reason for its diversity in genres and cultures. If this form of art was to only be made by one set of people the level of different ethnics and cultures and genres would not develop or begin.

     The ways of how music is performed is different depending on the genre and culture of the song. An example of this is the performance of opera and performance of hip/hop. Opera’s are usually performed at a large theater with a crowd of dressed up spectators sitting down, listening to the entire show to finish. Hip/hop on the other hand is the opposite. The show is usually performed loud in front of a large group of spectators with loud energy and excitement. If an opera show tried to perform like a hip/hop show the viewers would not like the show at all because it is not the style they like.

     Different people are effected differently from others with different types of music and sounds from tracks heard by different people. Some music that is listened by different people have different varying effects on the brain. Music is directly linked to dopamine being released by the brain to change mood or feeling. It can be used during therapy to calm the brain and relax the body. Music has many uses and purposes and different styles and genres of music.
