Heroic Acts and Heroic Personalities

A Hero is somebody who helps other people without caring about who that person is. Hero, as the word says, is a person that takes care of other people problems and conflicts. To a person be a hero, should have some kinds power but also good behaviors and a personality.  I can’t imagine a hero without any manners, as Bernie LA plant and John Bubber from the movie Hero.

According to the movie “Hero”, Bernie La plant was the one who saved 54 people that were inside an airplane flight 144, but he did not do it because he wanted to help, he did it because he thought it was the right, and maybe he would not want to carry the death of those people in his mind. On the other hand, I believe in this phrase, “shoes got by devilish, will burn your feet”, this means referring to the actor Jonny Bubber that even he wanted it to help others people like homeless and sick people, stealing other person money was an error. In this movie I cannot say who the Hero is, because La plant saved 54 people but he is a criminal who has been in jail too many times, and Bubber wanted to help people but he used the shoes to take credit of the act and stole La plant’s money to do it.

No matter who or what you are a Hero should help you. I saw a movie, it is a little bit artificial, where a bad person used to make portions and one of them was to make a dog have powers such as fly, be indestructible, talk. The dog he chose was owner of somebody who after three days realized that he could understand his god. The owner trained his dog in a good way to make his dog does good things, because the dog would use this power to kill and do bad things. I think the owner of this dog thought that if he did not train his dog with good behavior it does not matter if the dog has powers the most important thing is in what way the dog is was going to use them.

 In conclusion, a Hero should be somebody that does not have any bad background but I also think that we are human beings and we, for nature, make mistakes. There is a huge difference between a Hero and human beings. A Hero should be there to help without looking at that person face, just do what is correct.

According to the passage, “Is Music a Good Tool for Health?,” adapted from “How and Why is Music a Good Tool for Health?,” by Elizabeth Scoot, shows that music has a deep cause on your body and  mind. Music therapy is a wide way of health care. The passage shows two different research of how music can affect and help our health. Music with strong beat can provoke brainwaves to synchronize with the beats. In addition, breathing and heart rate can bring changes by the music. Also, music has a profound power on helping people to control and maintain depression and anxiety problems. I agree with the author that “the music can help us to fight with some mental and health problems.”

Music therapy can help to solve or control health problems. Doctors are trying to develop the benefits when using music as a therapy such as cancer patients, kids who do not know how to pay attention. Hospitals realized that music therapy is a wise way to help people with some problems like depression. I also believe that people can transmit their feeling throughout the music. I heard a new in my country, which is the Dominican Republic, that doctor should not have music with strong beats in their offices, because this kind of music is a damaging problem for their mind, excited them and can be a littler noise. They said that doctor should have music that kind of music like Jazz. In other words, music does interfere a lot in our mind and in the way we feel.

Faster and slower beats affects our seven senses. As the author says the faster beats can induce in our concentration and more alert thinking. However, the slower beats can bring you calm and a relaxing moment. Referring to the faster beats, in the mornings, when I get into the train and I put my iPod on, I usually listen some kind of music that wake me up such as Regueton. I will be more active when I listen to these kinds of music. On the other hand, when a listen soft and slow songs I fall asleep.

Music therapy is a good way for our health. I believe that if we think about it, we will find this affective. For example, some people use to listen slow music when they are sad or depressing unknowing that listen those kind of music can remember them the reasons of why they are sad. When I am sad, I use to listening faster music and funny music that make me forget about why I was sad.

In conclusion, music can infer and help us to control and prevent some mental and health problem. People have discovered in many ways how to help another people with their health and one of those is music. And as I see professionals in the subject have been using these methods, probably because it works.

Individuals in group

People behave different when they are in groups or in their own is stated in “Individualism in groups” by Carol Tavris adapted from “In groups we shrink”. The behavior on being in groups is stronger than being alone. Each head become lazy when they are in groups. Each person thinks that someone else can do it. I agree with this significant idea “The more people in a group, the lazier each individual in it becomes.

People tend to leave the work to someone else. There is a  Spanish novella called “Relaciones Peligrosas” where two student use to bull other students. They like to bother a young black boy in specific. What is surprising to me is that if they have to do it individually they do not do it as if one depends on the other to do something. This remembers the way I behave when I am in group or alone. If I go somewhere where I don’t know anybody and I am lost I have to ask somebody where to go, but if I go to somewhere with a friend I tell my friend to ask.

People do not react properly when they have to. I watched news in my country, which is the Dominican Republic, where in a Hospital, and old woman collapsed in the lobby. Many people were there, people were passing and watching the poor woman complaint, but nobody helped her. Ten minutes after, a doctor came and helped her. I think that those people who were there waiting for their appointment thought that she could wait for a doctor to come.

People are very lazy when they are in a group and always one of them is going to react after. I was in the L train going to Brooklyn and a man fell doing weird things as if he was having a heart attack. About fifteen minutes passed and no one went to help him. But twenty minutes after, a couple took pity of the man, went to aid him and look for assistance. On my own experience, when I have to go somewhere where I haven’t been there I do not like to go alone. I always ask to somebody to go with me. I am trying to go to the gym about one month ago, and because I cannot find somebody to go with me, I have not gone there yet.

In conclusion, you can be a student, a professional or a normal person but you won’t ever avoid the nature of people. When a person is in a group he/ she may think that somebody else can solve a problem but if they are alone they do not have more options than do it for themselves.

Her parents were having some problems because of cheating and her mother was arguing with her father. Momentously, her father when to their bed took a gun and shot her. This is a traumatic case, the girl was depressive. She did not eat and she was having health problems because of the impact that cause her. Her friend’s mother took her to the doctor, a psychology, the doctor with some analysis give her some CD’s and ask her to listen those, one each day. She was feeling well day by day with the music and the appointments she was supposed to take.
