MUSIC IN YOUR LIFE (as submitted to Planetary Magazine)

Submitted by Luciana Pimentel on Wednesday, October 20, 2004 at 10:43:29 AM EST.

Music is important for the quality of people's life. It was proved that the study of music develops the ability to learn subjects at school, especially Math and others related to it. Besides, people who do not have money enough to live a good life have a chance to make it better when they study music and it can also help a person, who has serious problems, to see life in a better way.
Music reflects people's culture in many ways. It expresses the differences existing in their society and it can represent all their stories in only one song. One example of this is Bob Marley, who expresses all his people's pain through his music, and who became famous all over the world and so did his culture.

How would you rate the emergency response efforts for Hurricane Katrina?

Options include:

A five; we're all doing all we can do

A four; People have really come together. Even if the rescue efforts were hampered a little, everyone is chipping in to help

A One; What else could they have done, given the conditions of the city?

A three; They tried hard, but factors outside of their control (looters, fires, chaos) slowed them down

A two; It was about what I expected would happen

A zero; why did President Bush wait so long to send troops? Why was there so much miscommunication among government officials?

Emergency Response? What emergency response? Government officials up through Bush should all be fired!

I'm just glad I wasn't there

If people had heeded the evacuation orders, everything would have been fine
