Instrument Study

The instrument that I play and studying is The Flute. The Flute is from the Wood Wind family. There are 8 parts to the flute. There is the Crown, the Head Joint, on the Head Joint there is a Lip Plate and a Embouchure Hole. There is a Tenon which is in between the Head Joint and the Body.  On the Body there is the Rod System and the Keys. And the last part of the flute is the Foot. The Flute plays in Treble Clef, and was invented in the 10th Century and was invented by no one really, since the instrument is so old no one really knows. The Flute plays in high pitch as well. The way you play a Flute isn't the typical way you play an instrument, instead of blowing into it, you blow across it. You blow across the Embouchure Hole which is on the Lip Plate. Assembling the Flute is very simple since there is only three parts that you need to put together. First you connect the Head Joint to the Body but you need to leave a finger space in between it, then you connect the Foot onto the Body. Sterilizing the mouth piece can be quite tricky because you aren't really supposed to get the Crown wet , so just clean the inside of the Head Joint, the Lip Plate and the Embouchure Hole. To maintain the Flute just gently take it out before playing it, gently put it together,gently take it apart, gently play it, and gently put it back in its case. Even tho the flute may seem like a stable instrument, I mean its made out of Copper, and sometimes even gold and silver but trust me Flutes dent and break easily , trust me I would know, I've had a few incidents before. And that is my Instrument Study on The Flute .

The Golden Rule

The message of the Golden Rule is to treat all people as equals. Yes I am aware of the messages and titles of T.V. programs and songs. Like on some T.V. shows the moral of the episode is to treat others how you would like to be treated. The expression of the Golden Rule I like the most is the Buddhism one " Treat not others In ways that you yourself would" . The reason behind why I admired it the most is because it is short and simple, but I feel the most effecting out of the bunch. It really gets me thinking. I would express the Golden Rule in my own words as ; even tho everyone you isn't like you, different beliefs, different age, different skin colour,different gender, and with all these differences you all have one thing in common that most people tend to forget. Your all human. Humans with feelings, that some people just don't care about only because of the differences they have. Some people may see them selves better as another peer because of these differences, but they have to realize that there still human and you should treat them as a equal. An equal to your peers, your friends, and your self. Things would be prodigious if everyone lived by the Golden Rule. Everyone treating each other as an equal is like something that a lot of people want but you know very doubtful but you still hope. I think some people don't behave by the Golden Rule is because maybe they were raised not to like someone who was different from the, and sometimes I think people do it is because they just don't care about anything so they just do it not thinking about the outcome of it. And that is my Golden Rule assignment.

Behind The Name

Behind My Name: Arianna

Before I started this assignment , I thought my name was Arianna because its just what my parents decided to name me. My parents chose this name for me because It was my dads goof friends daughters name. After searching on Behind The Name I learned that my name means "most holy".  Some other interesting things I learned was, my name comes from Greek mythology. In Greek mythology my name Arianna was translated into Ariadne. Ariadne was daughter of King Minos (son of Zeus, god of the sky). Ariadne later on fell in love with Theseus (son of Poseidon , god of the sea), but he ended up abandoning her. And finally she married Dionysus (god of wine, vegetation, pleasure and festivity). I think My name suits me because I like what it means and I find it very fascinating where my name comes from. And I cant see myself with any other name. If I could give myself a new name it would be Arizona because i just like that name. And that is my Behind The Name Assignment.

Discrimination and Tolerance

For this assignment I am supposed to write in my own words the meaning of Discrimination and Tolerance. In the dictionary the meaning of Discrimination is  "The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, esp. on the grounds of race, age, or sex" . But to me Discrimination is someone being treated unfairly. For example I know a lot of people who are animal lovers, and when most people would shriek, and step on a spider if they saw one some people would pick it up and put it on a tree and say "Its a living creature on this planet, just like us". And what I am comparing this to is people who are racist, or homophobia's. They would treat someone who had a different skin colour, or someone who liked people from the same sex unfairly, and calling them rude names. But when you think about it we are all just living creatures  sharing a planet, so we should all treat each other how we would like to be treated , treated with respect, and treated fairly.And to me that is what Discrimination is.

     The meaning of Tolerance in the dictionary is "The ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with" .  I don't know about you but I have a very low tolerance level, but I try my best not to show. Some people laugh at little things that aren't really funny, and worse they laugh loud, while clapping their hands, stomping their feet, and laughing for longer then necessary. I always try my best to ignore it. But in my head i wish i could just scream in their face to be quiet  because what they are laughing at isn't all that funny, and they are probably doing it just for attention. And sometimes it just depends on who the person is. For example if one of my best friends did something stupid and annoying I would just ignore and not give a care in the world. But say if someone i didn't get along with to well is doing something stupid and annoying I will get irritated. But overall I think having tolerance for everyone is a very good personality trait to have. Because if no one had tolerance for each other we would all be getting aggravated so easily cursing in each others faces about how stupid they are.   

     So that is my meaning of Discrimination and Tolerance. Thanks for reading. Feel free to comment!
