Effect Of Music On Studying

Music is one of the most amazing ways to relax and enjoy. We tend to listen to music everyday from early morning to late night. For me especially it makes my day a little more exciting. Even if you are having a bad week, bad day, music becomes an amazing fix . We all love listening to music. We may not like some type of music and most of the music you listen to also depends on what mood you are in. But is this music actually good to listen to while studying?

Article first published in July of 1989 on the topic of effect of music on anxiety where about 33 people were taken and tested on whether music reduces anxiety or not, and to induce a standard anxiety test the patient had to complete the state portion of the state trait anxiety inventory. Blood pressure, heartbeat rates, respiration of each patient was measured carefully. The experiment was then performed and the result then indicated that the patient did in fact show a lowered anxiety score after listening to music.

So from the article what i am trying to get to is that we don't yet fully know how music changes our state of mind but from the experiment if it is found out that music does lower anxiety then i am pretty sure that when your anxiety level is lower you will have a better understanding of what you are reading and what you are writing.

But we also have to consider the distraction from music. As a personal experience I started listening to music while studying since I had heard that from recent studies it showed listening to music helped to understand better. But while doing that I found myself getting lost in the music rather than the actual studies. This in fact can be a serious problem if you are someone who gets easily distracted by music.

Have you ever tried music meditation? It's a meditation with a slow peaceful and very light music and it is said that these music help you concentrate. Which I have found true while doing so myself a meditation called 'soul of healing' by Deepak chopra . But the purpose of the music was that you don't lose focus on what you are doing  here focusing on breathing , and if you were to ever get distracted by your own thoughts the music would be a way to get your distracted mind back to a focused state. What I am trying to bring out is that the type of music that helps you focus, study is different from the type of music you listen to in your leisure time. It mostly has to do with your brain waves and how they react to different music.

In a nutshell it depends on the person who listens, what type of music he or she listens and what happens to their brains during listening to a certain music. Nostalgia, sometimes loneliness, happiness, these feelings may be induced while listening to music. In my opinion listening to music maybe good but something that's not distracting and should be listened to in a very small volume so that your mind can truly concentrate. As it is still fully unknown why music helps calm us down or create happiness or why it reacts with the brain in such a manner and is still a hot topic of this generation.

National Socialism

When we talk about Nazism that rose in Germany we often relate it to the patriots who wanted revenge and gave rise to Nazism, there was also a difficult economy at that time that people often relate it to. Others say Germans are just that, war hungry which of course is an insult to all Germans who fought the Nazies with all their might who sacrificed themselves. Another popular explanation is of personal feelings , like Hitler was unable to attend the art school or he was homosexual but was unable to show his feelings which of course is a very weak explanation. Another is that Nazies were able to fool people through propaganda, and miscommunication and were able to take control which of course is also a weak explanation because it was through democracy that they achieved power, and as stated earlier, in 1920s 1930s Germans were the most educated people in the world with high level of education. The primary cause of the rise of Nazism was not economy or revenge but rather the abstract p...

Aerodynamics of Sphere

** The article below has been compiled from various sources online and through other various video from platform such as youtube to provide a proper understanding of aerodynamics and fluids. ** Understanding fluid Fluid is understood as the homogeneous matter of the body where molecules are loosely bound together, which does not have any specific shape or form and can take the form of the container. The molecules in fluid are in a constant motion and are loosely bound together, This means that molecules collide with each other and with the surface of the solid object and hence there is transfer of kinetic energy with each other and with the solid surface. This  mutual transfer of kinetic energy means that the aerodynamics can be viewed from two different perspectives. One with the  perspective of the fluid itself and other with the perspective of the solid. Each of these perspective poses a challenge, in the perspective of the fluid the major challenge is to explain the motion...

Django Framework : My first looks

I had heard about Django framework 5 to 6 month ago, my friends used it to create various API's , beautiful website and other various stuff. At the time I was learning Laravel frameowrk and was improving my python skills. I learnt Laravel without the prior knowledge in PHP, I did manage to make a social media clone however the logic writing there was bit difficult. On top of that my interest recently grew in machine learning and data science. So couple of weeks ago I quit learning laravel, and decided that i wanted to master Django. One of the main reason I got interested in Django was this ability to create sub groups, which Django calls 'apps' , and it allowed various work to be distributed in various apps . For example if we create an E commerce website, we could create app to handle users and other apps to handle shops. This allows the code to be very distributed and easy to understand. There were other various benefits , one major one for me personally was that it was...
