The Power of Music

Music triggers an emo�onal response,

reduces mental disturbance. It is a
combina�on of melodies and harmony which
soothes us. Listening to music has a lot of
benefits. Music aids the body to recover
faster from injuries, it reduces stress and
anxiety, it improves memory and eases pain,

it helps us sleep be�er, it improves our endurance, it helps us stay focused and be more crea�ve and so on.
The purpose of music is to express, understand and to explore. Animals also respond to music just as
humans do. Music has many different genres, as pop makes us happy, the hip hop energizes us and music
can relate to any kind of situa�on. Music is in every aspect of life from expressing love to le�ng out
sadness, from a cheerful party to a warm rainy day. Music is being passed down from centuries, the

presence of human’s love for music can be seen in history. Learning instrument can’t only be considered
as learning a new skill but it also improves key cogni�ve func�ons such as memory. Music is just amazing!

The flip side of Nuclear Energy

We've all heard the doubts on nuclear energy. The examples of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are men�oned
every �me the topic is brought up. However, we must also understand the correct impact it could have on
our environment.

Our carbon footprint increases day by day. The petrol emissions are only making our air worse and the
withdrawal to change our ways because it would "cost too much” is probably going to drag us to our
graves. Nothing is quite infallible. Yes, we could possibly run out of nuclear fissions someday and yes, we
might have to switch back but the thought is farther into the future than the likelihood of humanity making
it there.

So,you might ask what possibly could be the glamour of nuclear energy. I'll tell you, it's clean. Zero carbon
emissions, means zero damage done to the environment. As technology con�nues to advance, nuclear
energy is becoming an increasingly safe and stable op�on for energy produc�on. As Bill Gates said,
“Nuclear energy, in terms of an overall safety record, is be�er than other energy.” Lots of industries already
benefit from nuclear energy. The medical field uses radia�on to figure out if your bones are broken, or to
find and kill your cancerous cells. Agriculture uses it to gene�cally modify the corn that you ate last Friday
and the watch on your hands uses an element of nuclear energy too.

I know this seems like every other infotainment ar�cle out there but it has more value than you'd think. We
are the next genera�on, the genera�on that is going to have to deal with the results of fossil fuels long a�er
those who proposed them are dead. It is our responsibility as the torch bearers to ensure that we don't
corrupt and contaminate our world further than it already is. If that means we might live past 2050, why
not give it a try?
