Introduction
Since its early beginnings, heavy metal music has been source debate and controversy across the society. The origin of heavy metal is traced back in England and the United states towards the late 1960s and the early 1970s (King, 2011). The Blue Cheer group based in California was the first band given the title "heavy metal band". The musicians introduced a fresh sound and stage character to the music industry. Their stage performance was also associated with what the public viewed as outrageous acts (Martin, 2013). They were seen as the mock-up for afterward heavy metal bands. They dressed in black leather coats, along with wild guitar solos (Levine, 2009).
The strong subculture
The term “heavy metal” was coined from Steppenwolf’s song "Born to Be Wild". In this song, the musicians use the phrase “heavy metal thunder,” hence people termed all type of music using such style as heavy metal (King, 2011). During those days, bands that qualified under this category included ACDC, Metallica, Blue Cheer, and Led Zeppelin, among others. All of them had similar stage characters and musical styles (Levine, 2009). They employed exceedingly fast tempos, and rapid guitars and drums. The psychedelic rock and blues-rock are frequently quoted as the roots of heavy metal music. Only that the musicians developed a thick, heavy, drum-and guitar-oriented sound, typified by highly amplified twist and rapid guitar solos. According to Levine (2009), of all rock & roll’s innumerable forms, this type of music is the most intense in terms of theatricality, volume and machismo.
One of the major characteristics of heavy music culture is the language and communication. Most of the songs, no matter their origin are predominantly in English. Artists from Italy, Japan, Mexico and Finland write their songs in English (Weinstein, 2001). This could either be due to the origin of metal music in English-speaking nations or a way of appealing the large population of metal fans in the United States and Britain (Lacourse, 2001 & Stack, 2004). Interestingly, when bands take stage in non-English speaking countries, the crowd literally sings along with the band in a language they do not even speak. It is implausible type of music that surpasses cultural barriers. For instance, from the video footage of the song Japan as it is played by the band Judas Priest to a crowd of thousands of fans shows almost every person singing along with the musicians (Levine, 2009). Through cheering, crying and facial expressions, the crowd is crowd is very emotionally moved.
In addition, when listeners and fans discuss and rate bands on the Internet, English is the predominant language. In spite of having people from non-English speaking states such as Switzerland, Finland and Japan, approximately 87.5% of online forums dedicate ...
The document summarizes research on the relationship between music preference and risk of depression and suicide in adolescents. Several studies found a correlation between listening to genres like heavy metal and country music and increased suicide risk. However, the studies were unable to determine a causal relationship or identify what exactly accounts for the link. More recent research suggests that personal and family characteristics, rather than the music itself, may be responsible for increased risk. While some studies show certain music can negatively impact mood, more research is still needed to establish if a causal relationship exists between specific music genres and depression or suicide in adolescents.
A Brief History Of Drug Taking In Popular Music And The Influence Of Drugs On...Martha Brown
This document discusses the relationship between drugs and creativity in music throughout history, particularly in the 20th century. It examines how drugs influenced the creation of jazz, psychedelic rock, and dance music genres. While drugs opened new avenues for musical experimentation and expression, the extent to which they were necessary for creativity cannot be clearly defined. The document contains chapters analyzing the influence of various drugs on different musical eras as well as artists in other fields. It recognizes drugs played a role for many musicians but does not aim to justify drug use or claim they are essential to making good music.
The Saturdays are a British pop girl group formed in 2007 consisting of 5 members. They were signed to Polydor Records and have released 4 studio albums between 2008-2013 that blend pop, R&B, and dance music. Their music and image have evolved over time, incorporating more sexualized styles. This has generated debate about their influence on young fans and role in the sexualization of children.
This document analyzes the drug content referenced in the top 10 songs on the Billboard charts from 2010-2013. It provides tables listing each song, artist, genre, record label, songwriter, and whether the lyrics or music video reference drugs or alcohol brands. The analysis found most songs in 2010 referenced legal drugs like beer and vodka at social gatherings or to cope with problems. The record labels Interscope and Island produced half the songs containing drug references. Three alcohol brands were mentioned in 2010 songs.
The document discusses Theodor Adorno's theory on popular music from a Marxist perspective. Adorno criticizes popular music for its standardization, pseudo-individualization, and role as a form of social cement. He argues these characteristics make popular music inferior to serious music. The document then applies Adorno's theory to analyze the popular Disney movie Frozen and its music.

1) The Beatles started as a skiffle group formed by John Lennon in 1957 and eventually included Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
2) They gained widespread success in the early 1960s with hits like "Love Me Do" and "Please Please Me" and became a highly influential rock band.
3) Internal tensions and personal artistic differences grew between the members over time, especially John Lennon and Paul McCartney, leading to the official breakup of the band in 1970.
Music has long been used as a form of protest against war, social injustices, and unfair politics. Folk songs in the early 1900s sparked the protest music genre, with artists like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan writing politically charged songs. Throughout the 1960s and 70s, musicians wrote songs opposing the Vietnam War, advocating for civil rights, women's rights, and other social movements. While some protest songs faced censorship from radio stations, they helped spread activists' messages and unite communities. Protest music continues today through various genres, raising awareness of issues like climate change and economic inequality, though artists still encounter challenges of censorship and pressure to avoid controversial topics.
The document provides information about the indie folk band The Head and The Heart and their single "Another Story". It discusses the band members and formation, critical reception to the single, details about the album it was featured on, and background on the song's lyrics. It then provides details about the music video for "Another Story", including its views, production company, director, storyline featuring actress Troian Bellisario, and Bellisario's comments on why she took the project.
The document discusses the theremin, an electronic musical instrument played without physical contact. It was introduced in the 1920s and gained popularity in the US. The theremin is tuned over three and a half octaves and its operation is based on beat frequencies. Leon Theremin, its inventor, stayed in the US where he met Clara Rockmore, the first virtuoso player. Theremin later developed other electronic instruments. In the 1950s, Robert Moog started producing the theremin commercially and in kit form, increasing its popularity. The theremin was featured in several movies and used by bands like The Beach Boys and Led Zeppelin.
The document provides background information on different music genres such as rock music, rhythm and blues, hip hop, and alternative rock. It then summarizes a study that examined the relationship between people's musical tastes and their lifestyles. The study found associations between types of music and factors like education level, smoking habits, and retirement status. The document goes on to discuss how music can influence thoughts and behaviors, especially for teenagers. It presents the problem statement and research questions for a study that aimed to determine the different genres of music preferred by students at Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
The document discusses research into music preferences and how they relate to audience demographics. It finds that music preferences can be categorized into 5 factors: Mellow, Urban, Sophisticated, Intense, and Campestral. These preferences are shaped by personality, social class, ethnicity, country of residence, and culture-specific associations with different music styles. Preferences may change based on social and auditory attributes of the music. The ideal target audience for the artist's instrumental trip hop music would be young adults aged 18-30 from working and middle class backgrounds who enjoy similar down-tempo artists and art-house films.
This document provides an overview of the history and genres of rock music, with a focus on alternative rock and indie pop. It discusses the origins and characteristics of alternative rock, with subgenres like indie rock and grunge. Indie pop is described as a more independent genre compared to mainstream pop, originating in the UK in the 1980s. Target audiences and some popular rock magazines are also mentioned, including Kerrang!, Rolling Stone, and NME. Links are included for examples of different rock genres.
Music videos have become increasingly sexualized over time. Today's music videos commonly feature explicit references to sex, drugs, alcohol and violence. They also promote unhealthy stereotypes. For example, Rihanna's "We Found Love" video glamorizes drug and alcohol use, unprotected sex, violence and crime. Such content is inappropriate for youth and can negatively influence behaviors. While past music incorporated sexuality, today's levels far exceed what was seen before and rarely promote positive messages.

Case Study - Option 3: Barbara
Barbara is a 22 year old woman who has recently graduated from college with a psychology degree. She is currently working as a waitress at a popular restaurant near campus, and says she has always planned to attend law school. Barbara was born in a New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother is an African American who is an assistant manager at a grocery store. Her father is Caucasian and works at a department store. Barbara reports that she was a shy, unattractive child, but that in general her early childhood was "pretty happy." Barbara says that during elementary school, she was constantly harassed by classmates about being of mixed race. Still, she says that she felt very close to her family during this period. She now insists that "I am not black or white, I am me."
Barbara is sexually active and engages in sexual activity with different men at least 1 time a week. Barbara indicates that she does not need protection because she is on the pill. She says she is simply too young to settle down. During her junior year of high school, Barbara had her first serious boyfriend, Morris, who was a high school classmate. She describes the relationship as warm and supportive and they became sexually active during her senior year of high school. They broke up soon after the first sexual interaction. In college, Barbara has dated and she acknowledges some bisexual experimentation. Barbara says that she prefers heterosexual relationships, however.
Although Barbara appears to be a natural athlete, she leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle. She does not exercise regularly and indicates that it is just not enjoyable.
Barbara does not like her job at the restaurant, but seems unwilling to look for other employment. She says that she feels "very jittery" whenever she gets ready for work, and she uses any excuse to take days off. She also refuses to associate with fellow employees, and reports getting very anxious when she was given a surprise birthday party. Recently, she has lost interest in cleaning her house and seldom cooks for herself. She also attends less to her personal grooming.

Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New RealityWhen hackers claiming .docxcowinhelen
Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New Reality:
When hackers claiming to support the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad attacked and disabled the website of Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based satellite news channel, in September 2012, the act was another act of hacktivism, purporting to promote a specific political agenda over another. Hacktivism has become a very visible form of expressing dissent. Even though there have been numerous incidents reported by the media, the first case of hacktivism was documented in 1989 when a member of the Cult of the Dead Cow hacker collective named Omega coined the term in 1996. However, hacktivism is not the only form of cyber protest and conflict that has everyone from ICT professionals to governments scrambling for solutions. Individuals, enterprises, and governments alike rely in many instances almost completely on network computing technologies, including cloud computing. The international and ever-evolving nature of the Internet along with inadequate law enforcement and the anonymity the global architecture offers creates opportunities for hackers to attack vulnerable nodes for personal, financial, or political gain.
The Internet is also rapidly becoming the political and advocacy platform of choice, bringing with it both positive and negative consequences. Increasingly sophisticated off-the-shelf technologies and easy access to the Internet are significantly increasing incidents of cyberterrorism, netwars, and cyberwarfare. The following are a few examples.
• According to The Israel Electric Company, Israel is attacked 1,000 times a minute by cyberterrorists targeting the country’s infrastructure—water, electricity, communications, and other services.• The New York Times, quoting military officials, said there was a seventeen-fold increase in cyberattacks targeting the US critical infrastructure between 2009 and 2011.• The 2010 Data Breach Investigations Report has data recording more than 900 instances of computer hacking and other data breaches in the past seven years, resulting in some 900 million compromised records. In 2012, the same study listed 855 breaches, resulting in 174 million compromised records in 2011 alone, up from 4 million in 2010.• Another study of 49 breaches in 2011 reported that the average organizational cost of a data breach (including detection, internal response, notification, post notification cost) was $5.5 million. This number was down from $7.2 million in 2010.14 The Telegraph (London) reported that “India blamed a new ‘cyber-jihad’ by Pakistani militant groups for the exodus of thousands of people from India’s north-eastern minorities from its main southern cities in August after text messages warning them to flee went viral.”
There have been recorded instances of nations allegedly engaging in cyberwarfare. The Center for the Study of Technology and Society has identified five methods by which cyberwarfare can be used as a means of military action. These include defacing or di.

Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation
“Damn it, he's done it again!”
Charlie Newburg had to get up and walk around his office, he was so frustrated. He had been
reviewing the most recent design, parts, and assembly specifications for Global Mobile's latest
smart phone (code named: Nonphixhun) that had been released for production the previous
Thursday. The files had just come back to Charlie's engineering services department with a
caustic note that began, “This one can't be produced, either…” It was the fourth time production
had returned the design.
Newburg, director of engineering for the Global Mobile Corporation, was normally a quiet
person. But the Nonphixhun project was stretching his patience; it was beginning to appear like
several other new products that had hit delays and problems in the transition from design to
production during the eight months Charlie had worked for Global Mobile. These problems were
nothing new at Global Mobile's Asian factory; Charlie's predecessor in the engineering job had
run afoul of them, too, and had finally been fired for protesting too vehemently about the other
departments. But the Nonphixhun phone should have been different. Charlie and the firm's
president, Hannah Hoover, had video-conferenced two months earlier (on July 3, 2006) with the
factory superintendent, Tyson Wang, to smooth the way for the new phone's design. He thought
back to the meeting …
• “Now, we all know there's a tight deadline on the Nonphixhun,” Hannah Hoover said, “and
Charlie's done well to ask us to talk about its introduction. I'm counting on both of you to find
any snags in the system, and to work together to get that first production run out by October
2. Can you do it?” “We can do it in production if we get a clean design two weeks from
now, as scheduled,” answered Tyson Wang, the factory manager. “Charlie and I have already
talked about that, of course. I've spoken with our circuit board and other parts suppliers and
scheduled assembly capacity, and we'll be ready. If the design goes over schedule, though, I'll
have to fill in with other runs, and it will cost us a bundle to break in for the Nonphixhun.
How does it look in engineering, Charlie?” “I've just reviewed the design for the second
time,” Charlie replied. “If Marianne Price can keep the salespeople out of our hair, and avoid
any more last minute changes, we've got a shot. I've pulled my technical support people off of
three other overdue jobs to get this one out. But, Tyson, that means we can't spring engineers
loose to confer with your production people on other manufacturing problems.” “Well
Charlie, most of those problems are caused by the engineers, and we need them to resolve the
difficulties. We've all agreed that production problems come from both of us bowing to sales
pressure, and putting equipment into production before the designs are really ready. That's
just wh.
Case Study #3Apple Suppliers & Labor PracticesWith its h.docxcowinhelen
Case Study #3
Apple Suppliers & Labor Practices
With its highly coveted line of consumer electronics, Apple has a cult following among loyal consumers. During the 2014 holiday season, 74.5 million iPhones were sold. Demand like this meant that Apple was in line to make over $52 billion in profits in 2015, the largest annual profit ever generated from a company’s operations. Despite its consistent financial performance year over year, Apple’s robust profit margin hides a more complicated set of business ethics. Similar to many products sold in the U.S., Apple does not manufacture most its goods domestically. Most of the component sourcing and factory production is done overseas in conditions that critics have argued are dangerous to workers and harmful to the environment.
For example, tin is a major component in Apple’s products and much of it is sourced in Indonesia. Although there are mines that source tin ethically, there are also many that do not. One study found workers—many of them children—working in unsafe conditions, digging tin out by hand in mines prone to landslides that could bury workers alive. About 70% of the tin used in electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets comes from these more dangerous, small-scale mines. An investigation by the BBC revealed how perilous these working conditions can be. In interviews with miners, a 12-yearold working at the bottom of a 70-foot cliff of sand said: “I worry about landslides. The earth slipping from up there to the bottom. It could happen.”
Apple defends its practices by saying it only has so much control over monitoring and regulating its component sources. The company justifies its sourcing practices by saying that it is a complex process, with tens of thousands of miners selling tin, many of them through middle-men. In a statement to the BBC, Apple said “the simplest course of action would be for Apple to unilaterally refuse any tin from Indonesian mines. That would be easy for us to do and would certainly shield us from criticism. But that would also be the lazy and cowardly path, since it would do nothing to improve the situation. We have chosen to stay engaged and attempt to drive changes on the ground.”
In an effort for greater transparency, Apple has released annual reports detailing their work with suppliers and labor practices. While more recent investigations have shown some improvements to suppliers’ working conditions, Apple continues to face criticism as consumer demand for iPhones and other products continues to grow.

Jennifer is a 29-year-old administrative assistant married to Antonio, an Italian engineer, whom Jennifer met four years earlier while on a business trip for her marketing company. The couple now lives in Nebraska, where Antonio works for the county's transportation department and Jennifer commutes an hour each way to her marketing office. They have been trying to start a family for over a year. Eight months ago, Jennifer miscarried in her second month of pregnancy. Antonio's parents love Jennifer and often ask her if she is expecting again, hoping to encourage her to focus on her next baby. Jennifer's mother passed away two years ago and her father's health is rapidly deteriorating. Jennifer faces the probability of placing her father in a skilled nursing care facility within the next few months, against his wishes.
At work, Jennifer runs a tight ship. She is organized and prepares lists to assure that everything is done according to schedule. Everyone counts on Jennifer and she takes pride in never letting people down.
Jennifer has visited her physician numerous times in the last six months, complaining of headaches, backaches, and indigestion. Jennifer insists that she is happy and is not feeling stressed, yet she finds herself making more mistakes at work, unable to keep up with housework, and feeling tired and overwhelmed; she has begun to question her effectiveness as an employee, wife, daughter, and potential mother. Her pains seem to be increasing, but her doctor cannot find a physical cause for her discomfort.
Case Study #2
Michael is a 40-year-old airline pilot who has recently begun to experience chest pains. The chest pains began when Michael signed his final divorce papers, ending his 15-year marriage. He fought for joint custody of his two children, ages 12 and 10, but although he wants to be with them more frequently, he only sees them every two weeks. This schedule is, in great part, a result of his employer's announcement that budget constraints would result in layoffs. Michael worries that without his job he will be unable to support his children and lose the new townhouse that he purchased. Michael's chest pains are becoming more frequent and he fears that he may be dying.

Case Study # 2 –Danny’s Unhappy Duty
Employee Profiles
:
Carol Brown, Danny Winthrop, Thomas Fletcher
Carol, the Department Secretary for Purchasing and General Stores, has been
working at St. Louis Memorial Hospital for sixteen years, four of which have
been for the present Manager, Dan Winthrop. Carol likes her Boss, who gives
his employees more leeway than most. Carol’s main interests are her work and
her home—traits also typical of the other people who work in the Department.
Carol feels she is part of a close, cooperative group of employees.
Dan, or Danny, as he likes to be called, arrived at St. Louis Memorial four years
ago as a replacement for a Department manager who had been at the Hospital
for a number of years. Danny’s predecessor, Bill Taylor, was very strict in
everything from insisting that employees take exactly one-half hour for lunch
breaks to not having a coffee pot in the Department. When Danny came on
board as a Department Manager, his management style was much less strict.
The result was that Danny’s employees were much happier, and began to meet
and exceed expectations in getting their work done. St. Louis Memorial’s
previous CEO was a good friend and frequently complimented Danny on his
efficient and effective staff. Now a new CEO, Thomas Fletcher, has been hired
by the Hospital’s Board of Directors. Things are about to change.
Thomas Fletcher, new CEO and a recent graduate from a superior school of
hospital management, has always believed in “doing things by the book”.
Thomas originally had wanted to become a doctor, but decided two years into
the process that it was going to take him too long, and that he would be better
off becoming an administrator. He likes the idea of being an administrator,
and wants to be a good one. He has decided to start out his career at St. Louis
Memorial, of the smaller hospitals in the St. Louis area, but hopes to progress to a
a much larger facility in about four years, once he develops a track record at
St. Louis Memorial.
The Challenge: Communication, Criticism and Discipline, Leadership, Motivation,
Rules and Policies
Danny knows his employees quite well. They are generally a happy, cohesive, and cooperative group. They joke around a lot among themselves, but get the work done more than satisfactorily. All of them seem to give a

Case Study – Multicultural ParadeRead the Case below, and answe.docxcowinhelen
This document provides a case study about a school's multicultural day celebration that resulted in confusion and exclusion. The school encouraged students to participate in a culture parade by wearing clothing representing their ethnic heritage. However, when two students - an African American girl and a white girl - brought everyday clothing, they were not allowed to participate. The teacher was worried others would be confused by their inclusion or that the girls would be ridiculed for misunderstanding the instructions. This highlighted differences between concepts like culture, ethnicity, and nationality.

1) The Beatles started as a skiffle group formed by John Lennon in 1957 and eventually included Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
2) They gained widespread success in the early 1960s with hits like "Love Me Do" and "Please Please Me" and became a highly influential rock band.
3) Internal tensions and personal artistic differences grew between the members over time, especially John Lennon and Paul McCartney, leading to the official breakup of the band in 1970.
Music has long been used as a form of protest against war, social injustices, and unfair politics. Folk songs in the early 1900s sparked the protest music genre, with artists like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan writing politically charged songs. Throughout the 1960s and 70s, musicians wrote songs opposing the Vietnam War, advocating for civil rights, women's rights, and other social movements. While some protest songs faced censorship from radio stations, they helped spread activists' messages and unite communities. Protest music continues today through various genres, raising awareness of issues like climate change and economic inequality, though artists still encounter challenges of censorship and pressure to avoid controversial topics.
The document provides information about the indie folk band The Head and The Heart and their single "Another Story". It discusses the band members and formation, critical reception to the single, details about the album it was featured on, and background on the song's lyrics. It then provides details about the music video for "Another Story", including its views, production company, director, storyline featuring actress Troian Bellisario, and Bellisario's comments on why she took the project.
The document discusses the theremin, an electronic musical instrument played without physical contact. It was introduced in the 1920s and gained popularity in the US. The theremin is tuned over three and a half octaves and its operation is based on beat frequencies. Leon Theremin, its inventor, stayed in the US where he met Clara Rockmore, the first virtuoso player. Theremin later developed other electronic instruments. In the 1950s, Robert Moog started producing the theremin commercially and in kit form, increasing its popularity. The theremin was featured in several movies and used by bands like The Beach Boys and Led Zeppelin.
The document provides background information on different music genres such as rock music, rhythm and blues, hip hop, and alternative rock. It then summarizes a study that examined the relationship between people's musical tastes and their lifestyles. The study found associations between types of music and factors like education level, smoking habits, and retirement status. The document goes on to discuss how music can influence thoughts and behaviors, especially for teenagers. It presents the problem statement and research questions for a study that aimed to determine the different genres of music preferred by students at Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
The document discusses research into music preferences and how they relate to audience demographics. It finds that music preferences can be categorized into 5 factors: Mellow, Urban, Sophisticated, Intense, and Campestral. These preferences are shaped by personality, social class, ethnicity, country of residence, and culture-specific associations with different music styles. Preferences may change based on social and auditory attributes of the music. The ideal target audience for the artist's instrumental trip hop music would be young adults aged 18-30 from working and middle class backgrounds who enjoy similar down-tempo artists and art-house films.
This document provides an overview of the history and genres of rock music, with a focus on alternative rock and indie pop. It discusses the origins and characteristics of alternative rock, with subgenres like indie rock and grunge. Indie pop is described as a more independent genre compared to mainstream pop, originating in the UK in the 1980s. Target audiences and some popular rock magazines are also mentioned, including Kerrang!, Rolling Stone, and NME. Links are included for examples of different rock genres.
Music videos have become increasingly sexualized over time. Today's music videos commonly feature explicit references to sex, drugs, alcohol and violence. They also promote unhealthy stereotypes. For example, Rihanna's "We Found Love" video glamorizes drug and alcohol use, unprotected sex, violence and crime. Such content is inappropriate for youth and can negatively influence behaviors. While past music incorporated sexuality, today's levels far exceed what was seen before and rarely promote positive messages.

Case Study - Option 3: Barbara
Barbara is a 22 year old woman who has recently graduated from college with a psychology degree. She is currently working as a waitress at a popular restaurant near campus, and says she has always planned to attend law school. Barbara was born in a New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother is an African American who is an assistant manager at a grocery store. Her father is Caucasian and works at a department store. Barbara reports that she was a shy, unattractive child, but that in general her early childhood was "pretty happy." Barbara says that during elementary school, she was constantly harassed by classmates about being of mixed race. Still, she says that she felt very close to her family during this period. She now insists that "I am not black or white, I am me."
Barbara is sexually active and engages in sexual activity with different men at least 1 time a week. Barbara indicates that she does not need protection because she is on the pill. She says she is simply too young to settle down. During her junior year of high school, Barbara had her first serious boyfriend, Morris, who was a high school classmate. She describes the relationship as warm and supportive and they became sexually active during her senior year of high school. They broke up soon after the first sexual interaction. In college, Barbara has dated and she acknowledges some bisexual experimentation. Barbara says that she prefers heterosexual relationships, however.
Although Barbara appears to be a natural athlete, she leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle. She does not exercise regularly and indicates that it is just not enjoyable.
Barbara does not like her job at the restaurant, but seems unwilling to look for other employment. She says that she feels "very jittery" whenever she gets ready for work, and she uses any excuse to take days off. She also refuses to associate with fellow employees, and reports getting very anxious when she was given a surprise birthday party. Recently, she has lost interest in cleaning her house and seldom cooks for herself. She also attends less to her personal grooming.

Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New RealityWhen hackers claiming .docxcowinhelen
Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New Reality:
When hackers claiming to support the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad attacked and disabled the website of Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based satellite news channel, in September 2012, the act was another act of hacktivism, purporting to promote a specific political agenda over another. Hacktivism has become a very visible form of expressing dissent. Even though there have been numerous incidents reported by the media, the first case of hacktivism was documented in 1989 when a member of the Cult of the Dead Cow hacker collective named Omega coined the term in 1996. However, hacktivism is not the only form of cyber protest and conflict that has everyone from ICT professionals to governments scrambling for solutions. Individuals, enterprises, and governments alike rely in many instances almost completely on network computing technologies, including cloud computing. The international and ever-evolving nature of the Internet along with inadequate law enforcement and the anonymity the global architecture offers creates opportunities for hackers to attack vulnerable nodes for personal, financial, or political gain.
The Internet is also rapidly becoming the political and advocacy platform of choice, bringing with it both positive and negative consequences. Increasingly sophisticated off-the-shelf technologies and easy access to the Internet are significantly increasing incidents of cyberterrorism, netwars, and cyberwarfare. The following are a few examples.
• According to The Israel Electric Company, Israel is attacked 1,000 times a minute by cyberterrorists targeting the country’s infrastructure—water, electricity, communications, and other services.• The New York Times, quoting military officials, said there was a seventeen-fold increase in cyberattacks targeting the US critical infrastructure between 2009 and 2011.• The 2010 Data Breach Investigations Report has data recording more than 900 instances of computer hacking and other data breaches in the past seven years, resulting in some 900 million compromised records. In 2012, the same study listed 855 breaches, resulting in 174 million compromised records in 2011 alone, up from 4 million in 2010.• Another study of 49 breaches in 2011 reported that the average organizational cost of a data breach (including detection, internal response, notification, post notification cost) was $5.5 million. This number was down from $7.2 million in 2010.14 The Telegraph (London) reported that “India blamed a new ‘cyber-jihad’ by Pakistani militant groups for the exodus of thousands of people from India’s north-eastern minorities from its main southern cities in August after text messages warning them to flee went viral.”
There have been recorded instances of nations allegedly engaging in cyberwarfare. The Center for the Study of Technology and Society has identified five methods by which cyberwarfare can be used as a means of military action. These include defacing or di.

Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation Damn it, .docxcowinhelen
Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation
“Damn it, he's done it again!”
Charlie Newburg had to get up and walk around his office, he was so frustrated. He had been
reviewing the most recent design, parts, and assembly specifications for Global Mobile's latest
smart phone (code named: Nonphixhun) that had been released for production the previous
Thursday. The files had just come back to Charlie's engineering services department with a
caustic note that began, “This one can't be produced, either…” It was the fourth time production
had returned the design.
Newburg, director of engineering for the Global Mobile Corporation, was normally a quiet
person. But the Nonphixhun project was stretching his patience; it was beginning to appear like
several other new products that had hit delays and problems in the transition from design to
production during the eight months Charlie had worked for Global Mobile. These problems were
nothing new at Global Mobile's Asian factory; Charlie's predecessor in the engineering job had
run afoul of them, too, and had finally been fired for protesting too vehemently about the other
departments. But the Nonphixhun phone should have been different. Charlie and the firm's
president, Hannah Hoover, had video-conferenced two months earlier (on July 3, 2006) with the
factory superintendent, Tyson Wang, to smooth the way for the new phone's design. He thought
back to the meeting …
• “Now, we all know there's a tight deadline on the Nonphixhun,” Hannah Hoover said, “and
Charlie's done well to ask us to talk about its introduction. I'm counting on both of you to find
any snags in the system, and to work together to get that first production run out by October
2. Can you do it?” “We can do it in production if we get a clean design two weeks from
now, as scheduled,” answered Tyson Wang, the factory manager. “Charlie and I have already
talked about that, of course. I've spoken with our circuit board and other parts suppliers and
scheduled assembly capacity, and we'll be ready. If the design goes over schedule, though, I'll
have to fill in with other runs, and it will cost us a bundle to break in for the Nonphixhun.
How does it look in engineering, Charlie?” “I've just reviewed the design for the second
time,” Charlie replied. “If Marianne Price can keep the salespeople out of our hair, and avoid
any more last minute changes, we've got a shot. I've pulled my technical support people off of
three other overdue jobs to get this one out. But, Tyson, that means we can't spring engineers
loose to confer with your production people on other manufacturing problems.” “Well
Charlie, most of those problems are caused by the engineers, and we need them to resolve the
difficulties. We've all agreed that production problems come from both of us bowing to sales
pressure, and putting equipment into production before the designs are really ready. That's
just wh.
Case Study #3Apple Suppliers & Labor PracticesWith its h.docxcowinhelen
Case Study #3
Apple Suppliers & Labor Practices
With its highly coveted line of consumer electronics, Apple has a cult following among loyal consumers. During the 2014 holiday season, 74.5 million iPhones were sold. Demand like this meant that Apple was in line to make over $52 billion in profits in 2015, the largest annual profit ever generated from a company’s operations. Despite its consistent financial performance year over year, Apple’s robust profit margin hides a more complicated set of business ethics. Similar to many products sold in the U.S., Apple does not manufacture most its goods domestically. Most of the component sourcing and factory production is done overseas in conditions that critics have argued are dangerous to workers and harmful to the environment.
For example, tin is a major component in Apple’s products and much of it is sourced in Indonesia. Although there are mines that source tin ethically, there are also many that do not. One study found workers—many of them children—working in unsafe conditions, digging tin out by hand in mines prone to landslides that could bury workers alive. About 70% of the tin used in electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets comes from these more dangerous, small-scale mines. An investigation by the BBC revealed how perilous these working conditions can be. In interviews with miners, a 12-yearold working at the bottom of a 70-foot cliff of sand said: “I worry about landslides. The earth slipping from up there to the bottom. It could happen.”
Apple defends its practices by saying it only has so much control over monitoring and regulating its component sources. The company justifies its sourcing practices by saying that it is a complex process, with tens of thousands of miners selling tin, many of them through middle-men. In a statement to the BBC, Apple said “the simplest course of action would be for Apple to unilaterally refuse any tin from Indonesian mines. That would be easy for us to do and would certainly shield us from criticism. But that would also be the lazy and cowardly path, since it would do nothing to improve the situation. We have chosen to stay engaged and attempt to drive changes on the ground.”
In an effort for greater transparency, Apple has released annual reports detailing their work with suppliers and labor practices. While more recent investigations have shown some improvements to suppliers’ working conditions, Apple continues to face criticism as consumer demand for iPhones and other products continues to grow.

Case Study # 2 –Danny’s Unhappy Duty
Employee Profiles
:
Carol Brown, Danny Winthrop, Thomas Fletcher
Carol, the Department Secretary for Purchasing and General Stores, has been
working at St. Louis Memorial Hospital for sixteen years, four of which have
been for the present Manager, Dan Winthrop. Carol likes her Boss, who gives
his employees more leeway than most. Carol’s main interests are her work and
her home—traits also typical of the other people who work in the Department.
Carol feels she is part of a close, cooperative group of employees.
Dan, or Danny, as he likes to be called, arrived at St. Louis Memorial four years
ago as a replacement for a Department manager who had been at the Hospital
for a number of years. Danny’s predecessor, Bill Taylor, was very strict in
everything from insisting that employees take exactly one-half hour for lunch
breaks to not having a coffee pot in the Department. When Danny came on
board as a Department Manager, his management style was much less strict.
The result was that Danny’s employees were much happier, and began to meet
and exceed expectations in getting their work done. St. Louis Memorial’s
previous CEO was a good friend and frequently complimented Danny on his
efficient and effective staff. Now a new CEO, Thomas Fletcher, has been hired
by the Hospital’s Board of Directors. Things are about to change.
Thomas Fletcher, new CEO and a recent graduate from a superior school of
hospital management, has always believed in “doing things by the book”.
Thomas originally had wanted to become a doctor, but decided two years into
the process that it was going to take him too long, and that he would be better
off becoming an administrator. He likes the idea of being an administrator,
and wants to be a good one. He has decided to start out his career at St. Louis
Memorial, of the smaller hospitals in the St. Louis area, but hopes to progress to a
a much larger facility in about four years, once he develops a track record at
St. Louis Memorial.

Case Study – Multicultural ParadeRead the Case below, and answe.docxcowinhelen
This document provides a case study about a school's multicultural day celebration that resulted in confusion and exclusion. The school encouraged students to participate in a culture parade by wearing clothing representing their ethnic heritage. However, when two students - an African American girl and a white girl - brought everyday clothing, they were not allowed to participate. The teacher was worried others would be confused by their inclusion or that the girls would be ridiculed for misunderstanding the instructions. This highlighted differences between concepts like culture, ethnicity, and nationality.

Case Study : THE INVISIBLE SPONSOR1
Background
Some executives prefer to micromanage projects whereas other executives
are fearful of making a decision because, if they were to make the wrong
decision, it could impact their career. In this case study, the president of the company assigned one of the vice presidents to act as the project sponsor on a project designed to build tooling for a client. The sponsor, however, was reluctant to make any decisions.
Assigning the VP
Moreland Company was well-respected as a tooling design-and-build
company. Moreland was project-driven because all of its income came
from projects. Moreland was also reasonably mature in project management.
When the previous VP for engineering retired, Moreland hired an executive from a manufacturing company to replace him. The new VP for engineering, Al Zink, had excellent engineering knowledge about tooling but had worked for companies that were not project-driven. Al had very little knowledge about project management and had never functioned as a project sponsor. Because of Al’s lack of experience as a sponsor, the president decided that Al should “get his feet wet” as quickly as possible and assigned him as the project sponsor on a mediumsized project. The project manager on this project was Fred Cutler. Fred was an engineer with more than twenty years of experience in tooling design and manufacturing. Fred reported directly to Al Zink administratively.
Fred's Dilemma
Fred understood the situation; he would have to train Al Zink on how to
function as a project sponsor. This was a new experience for Fred because subordinates usually do not train senior personnel on how to do their job. Would Al Zink be receptive?
Fred explained the role of the sponsor and how there are certain project documents that require the signatures of both the project manager and the project sponsor. Everything seemed to be going well until Fred informed Al that the project sponsor is the person that the president eventually holds accountable for the success or failure of the project. Fred could tell that Al was
quite upset over this statement.
Al realized that the failure of a project where he was the sponsor could damage his reputation and career. Al was now uncomfortable about having to act as a sponsor but knew that he might eventually be assigned as a sponsor on other projects. Al also knew that this project was somewhat of a high risk. If Al could function as an invisible sponsor, he could avoid making any critical decisions.
In the first meeting between Fred and Al where Al was the sponsor, Al asked Fred for a copy of the schedule for the project. Fred responded: I’m working on the schedule right now. I cannot finish the schedule until you tell me whether you want me to lay out the schedule based upon best time, least cost, or least risk.
Al stated that he would think about it and get back to Fred as soon as possible.
During the middle of the next week, Fred and Al m.
CASE STUDY Experiential training encourages changes in work beha.docxcowinhelen
CASE STUDY: Experiential training encourages changes in work behavior and growth in one’s abilities, which is accomplished through a multitude of methods. Experiential training has proven to be cost-effective while motivating employees as well as improving self-awareness, personal accountability, teamwork skills, and communication skills (Ritchie, 2011). Additionally, the training methods provide trainees with direct experience, the opportunity to reflect on that experience, and share models to help trainees to deduce using both present and past experience, while accommodating learning styles and strengths (Ritchie, 2011). Valkanos and Fragoulis identify several reasons why experiential training provides value:
1. Ongoing advances in technology requiring changes in knowledge, skills, and abilities
2. Divergence between theory and practice
3. Mergers and acquisitions of enterprises which tend to bring new jobs, organizational culture, and work content
4. Constant environment of change, from working conditions to processes and procedures relating to organizational issues, quality, and new products or services, and requiring new competencies, duties, or work content (Valkanos & Fragoulis, 2007, p. 22).

BUS 308 Week 2 Lecture 1
Examining Differences - overview
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. The importance of random sampling.
2. The meaning of statistical significance.
3. The basic approach to determining statistical significance.
4. The meaning of the null and alternate hypothesis statements.
5. The hypothesis testing process.
6. The purpose of the F-test and the T-test.
Overview
Last week we collected clues and evidence to help us answer our case question about
males and females getting equal pay for equal work. As we looked at the clues presented by the
salary and comp-ratio measures of pay, things got a bit confusing with results that did not see to
be consistent. We found, among other things, that the male and female compa-ratios were fairly
close together with the female mean being slightly larger. The salary analysis showed a different
view; here we noticed that the averages were apparently quite different with the males, on
average, earning more. Contradictory findings such as this are not all that uncommon when
examining data in the “real world.”
One issue that we could not fully address last week was how meaningful were the
differences? That is, would a different sample have results that might be completely different, or
can we be fairly sure that the observed differences are real and show up in the population as
well? This issue, often referred to as sampling error, deals with the fact that random samples
taken from a population will generally be a bit different than the actual population parameters,
but will be “close” enough to the actual.

Case Study Crocs: Revolutionizing an Industry’s Supply Chain Model for
Competitive Advantage
If the products sell extremely well, we will
build more in season, and will be back on the
shelves in a few weeks. And we’ll build even
more, and even more, and even more, in that
same season. We’re not going to wait with a
hot new product until next year, when hope-
fully the same trend is alive.
—Ronald Snyder, CEO of Crocs, Inc.1
On May 3, 2007, Crocs, Inc. released its results for the
first quarter of the year. The footwear company,
which had sold its first shoes in 2003, reported reve-
nues of $142 million for the quarter, more than three
times its sales for the first quarter of 2006. Net in-
come, at $0.61 per share was more than 17 percent
of sales, nearly four times higher than the previous
year.2 These results far exceeded market expecta-
tions, which had been for earnings of $0.49 per share
on $114 million of revenue.3 As part of the earnings
release, the company announced a two-for-one stock
split. Immediately after the announcement, the stock
price jumped 15 percent.
The growth and profitability of Crocs, which made
funky, brightly colored shoes using an extremely com-
fortable plastic material, had been astounding. Much
of this growth had been made possible by a highly
flexible supply chain which enabled the company to
build additional product to fulfill new orders quickly
within the selling season, allowing it to respond to un-
expectedly high demand—a capability that was previ-
ously unheard of in the footwear industry. This ability
to fulfill the needs of retailers also made the company
a very popular supplier to shoe sellers.
This success also raised questions about how
the company should grow in the future. Should it
vertically integrate or grow through product line
extension? Should it grow organically or through ac-
quisition? Would potential growth paths exploit
Crocs’ core competencies or defocus them?
CROCS, INC.
In 2002, three friends from Boulder, Colorado went
sailing in the Caribbean. One brought a pair of foam
clog shoes that he had bought from a company in
Canada. The clogs were made from a special mate-
rial that did not slip on wet boat decks, was easy
to wash, prevented odor, and was extremely com-
fortable. The three, Lyndon “Duke” Hanson, Scott
Seamans, and George Boedecker, decided to start a
business selling these Canadian shoes to sailing en-
thusiasts out of a leased warehouse in Florida, as
Hanson said, “so we could work when we went on
sailing trips there.”4 The founders wanted to name
the shoes something that captured the amphibious
nature of the product. Since “Alligator” had already
been taken, they chose to name the shoes “Crocs.”
The shoes were an immediate success, and word
of mouth expanded the customer base to a wide
range of people who spent much of their days stand-
ing, such as doctors and gardeners. In October 2003,
as the business began to grow, th.

The Veterans Health Administration:
Taking Home Telehealth Services to
Scale Nationally
Andrew Broderick
ABSTRACT: Since the 1990s, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has used infor-
mation and communications technologies to provide high-quality, coordinated, and com-
prehensive primary and specialist care services to its veteran population. Within the VHA,
the Office of Telehealth Services offers veterans a program called Care Coordination/
Home Telehealth (CCHT) to provide routine noninstitutional care and targeted care man-
agement and case management services to veterans with diabetes, congestive heart fail-
ure, hypertension, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other conditions. The program uses
remote monitoring devices in veterans’ homes to communicate health status and to cap-
ture and transmit biometric data that are monitored remotely by care coordinators. CCHT
has shown promising results: fewer bed days of care, reduced hospital admissions, and
high rates of patient satisfaction. This issue brief highlights factors critical to the VHA’s
success—like the organization’s leadership, culture, and existing information technology
infrastructure—as well as opportunities and challenges.
OVERVIEW
Since the 1990s, information and communications technologies—including tele-
health—have been at the core of the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA’s)
successful system-level transformation toward providing continuous, coordinated,
and comprehensive primary and specialist care services. The VHA’s leadership
and culture; underlying health information technology infrastructure; and strong
commitment to standardized work processes, policies, and training have all con-
tributed to the home telehealth program’s success in meeting the chronic care
needs of a population of aging veterans and reducing their use of institutional
care and its associated costs. The home teleheath model also encourages patient
activation, self-management, and helps in the early detection of complications.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

HEAVY METAL MUSIC
Heavy metal music - A promoter of drug abuse and reckless
behavior
Name:
Institution:
Date:
Introduction
Since its early beginnings, heavy metal music has been source
debate and controversy across the society. The origin of heavy
metal is traced back in England and the United states towards
the late 1960s and the early 1970s (King, 2011). The Blue Cheer
group based in California was the first band given the title
"heavy metal band". The musicians introduced a fresh sound
and stage character to the music industry. Their stage
2. performance was also associated with what the public viewed as
outrageous acts (Martin, 2013). They were seen as the mock-up
for afterward heavy metal bands. They dressed in black leather
coats, along with wild guitar solos (Levine, 2009).
The strong subculture
The term “heavy metal” was coined from Steppenwolf’s song
"Born to Be Wild". In this song, the musicians use the phrase
“heavy metal thunder,” hence people termed all type of music
using such style as heavy metal (King, 2011). During those
days, bands that qualified under this category included ACDC,
Metallica, Blue Cheer, and Led Zeppelin, among others. All of
them had similar stage characters and musical styles (Levine,
2009). They employed exceedingly fast tempos, and rapid
guitars and drums. The psychedelic rock and blues-rock are
frequently quoted as the roots of heavy metal music. Only that
the musicians developed a thick, heavy, drum-and guitar-
oriented sound, typified by highly amplified twist and rapid
guitar solos. According to Levine (2009), of all rock & roll’s
innumerable forms, this type of music is the most intense in
terms of theatricality, volume and machismo.
One of the major characteristics of heavy music culture is the
language and communication. Most of the songs, no matter their
origin are predominantly in English. Artists from Italy, Japan,
Mexico and Finland write their songs in English (Weinstein,
2001). This could either be due to the origin of metal music in
English-speaking nations or a way of appealing the large
population of metal fans in the United States and Britain
(Lacourse, 2001 & Stack, 2004). Interestingly, when bands take
stage in non-English speaking countries, the crowd literally
sings along with the band in a language they do not even speak.
It is implausible type of music that surpasses cultural barriers.
For instance, from the video footage of the song Japan as it is
played by the band Judas Priest to a crowd of thousands of fans
shows almost every person singing along with the musicians
(Levine, 2009). Through cheering, crying and facial
expressions, the crowd is crowd is very emotionally moved.
3. In addition, when listeners and fans discuss and rate bands on
the Internet, English is the predominant language. In spite of
having people from non-English speaking states such as
Switzerland, Finland and Japan, approximately 87.5% of online
forums dedicated to heavy metal music do their presentations in
English (Stack, 2004 & King, 2011). Some listeners make the
effort of learning English in order to understand the song
content and converse with the artists and other bands while
others will employ translating applications to communicate.
From what is described above, one can see that heavy metal
music has a very strong subculture which is sometimes viewed
to isolate its fans from the common traditional culture. Most of
its fans demonstrate extreme dedication to their type of music
and rely on it to serve various purposes (Weinstein, 2001).
According to analysts, this type of over-dependency can lead to
extreme influence based on what is preached in the music
(Lacourse, 2001). Unfortunately, most songs in this music genre
speak about drug use and as a result impact the fans to believe
in the goods that come with the use of drugs. In addition, the
violent nature of the music is viewed as one that promotes
violence. As a group that can be easily influenced by what they
see and hear in the media, adolescents who prefer heavy rock
are thought to quickly grasp the message in these songs and put
it into practice. This therefore, predisposes them to develop
delinquent behavior and drug abuse issues (Lacourse, 2001).
Conversely, supporters of heavy music argue that, most people
who come up with such conclusions do not actually know what
the music genre entails and their negative judgments are
founded on hearsay and superficial knowledge. They are just
mere misconceptions (Levine, 2009). However, the author of
this essay will argue that, while it has some positive side of it,
heavy rock mostly has negative influence on people, especially
the adolescents.
Heavy metal music – A promoter of drug abuse and reckless
behavior
Over the years, heavy metal has had to receive suppression of
4. ideas, words and images that, according to the general public,
are deemed offensive. While this censorship has restricted the
musicians freedom of expression and the true value of their
creations, this been seen to be for the interest of those whose
lives were and could be destroyed by the messages
communicated in some of the songs (Weinstein, 2001 & Arnett,
2012). For example, one of the key artists of heavy metal Ozzy
Osbourne has faced numerous lawsuits for hidden messages in
his songs and stage performances viewed as disturbing by many
individuals in the public. In particular, the musician was blamed
for three adolescent suicides which came after listening to the
song “Suicide
Solution
” (Stack, 2004). In one of the cases, a 19-year-old was said to
have been listening to this song when he reached for the gun
and blew his head off. The incident that occurred back in 1984
has been said to have occurred s a result of the young male
following to the preaching in the music (Lacourse, 2001). The
lyrics of the song were used s evidence to prosecute the artist.
On the contrary, supporters of heavy metal argue that, while it
is true that the music influences behaviors among teens, so do
the TV and movies. It is what one chooses to see or hear that
matters (Arnett, 2006). All media have negative and positive
information. In the lawsuit against Ozzy Osbourne, his fans
believed that the artists was wrongly accused by the public and
his songs falsely repressed by the law (King, 2011). Although
5. the coroners who found the young man dead reported that he
had his headphones on, no one is exactly sure what particular
song the teenager was listening to at the time he pulled the
trigger. The prosecutors could have jumped into conclusion as
recent study by NIDA demonstrated that, after conducting
investigations on the famously called pro-drug songs by Black
Sabbath, the music does not essentially fit the stereotype
(NIDA, 2016). One of the investigators, Dr. Conway, stated
that, whereas previous research indicated that heavy metal
praised substance abuse, he was surprised to come up with his
own contradicting findings after his own listening – Black
Sabbaths’ music contained advisory tale on the threats of
substance use and the awfulness of drug addiction (NIDA,
2016). As a result, it is safe to conclude that, most stereotypes
associated with the music genre are negatively constructed
misconceptions.
However, going deep into the band’s music, the investigators
listened to every song recorded by Black Sabbath from 1970 to
2013 while studying the lyrics and coding them. At the end,
four main themes were identified: love and loss, doom and
gloom, overt references to drug use, and implied references to
drug use (Arnett, 2012 & Took, 2014). While only 13% of the
band’s songs talked about substance use (either implied or
explicitly), majority of them were positive on the subject
(Zuckerman, 2008). They glorified drug as an amazing tool that
6. enables people to overcome the struggles of life (Took, 2014).
To most heavy metal artists and fans, drugs are way of leading
and all-time-partying life.
Many young males and female with various psychiatric
conditions, especially those who are dependent on or have
substance abuse issues, prefer heavy metal music to other types
of music. Adolescents who fail to identify with customary value
may discover simple but untraditional answer to intricate
problem in the lyrics of heavy metal (King, 2011). While a
straightforward relationship cannot be identified between
destructive behavior and heavy metal music, available data
indicates that such music encourages and promotes patterns of
violence, promiscuous sexual behavior and drug abuse.
Conversely, enthusiasts of the music genre maintain that, while
another cultural occurrence is that people who like metal have a
higher tendency of tobacco smoking (especially cigarette) than
others, the hypotheses and explanations for why this is the
situation seems to be at variance across different countries
(Arnett, 2006). In both Britain and the United States, for
instance, there is a strong correlation relationship between high
risk behavior and delinquency and heavy metal music (Johnson,
2014 & Took, 2014). However, this is just a correlation and
does not involve causation. As such, this certainly does not
denote that this type of music influences or causes young people
to acquire delinquent behavior.
7. However, in a study by xxxx, adolescents who preferred heavy
metal music were matched up against those who did not on a
selection of outcome variables, especially focusing on reckless
behavior, including sexual behavior, driving behavior and drug
use. It was established that, most adolescent fans of heavy metal
were less content with their family relationships and female
participants were more reckless in aspects of vandalism,
shoplifting, sexual behavior and substance use and demonstrated
lower self esteem (Lacourse, 2001).. Furthermore, participants
who liked this kind of music from both genders were higher in
sensation seeking and more self-confident in dating and
sexuality. . In regression analyses, the relation between
preferring heavy metal music and reckless behavior was
maintained for 5 out of 12 variables regarding reckless
behavior, including 75% among girls, when family
relationships and sensation seeking were included in the
equation prior to liking or not liking this type of music (Arnett,
2012)..
As a new type of music that brought a new look and sound to
rock, the reaction from the public was as expected with any
other associated with something fairly new; people found the
culture outlandish and looked down it. Most people in the
society did not even actually look into heavy metal music to
come up with facts about its nature, and made up postulations
that were wrong. Heavy metal music had a beautiful beginning
8. and an appealing history, but has received criticisms that are
mostly founded on misconceptions. As Took (2014) argues,
heavy metal music is frequently repressed for being a harmful
influence on teenagers due to the genre’s aesthetics and lyrical
content. This is especially by those who are unfamiliar with the
genre and are quick to make this supposition based on the
darker and often proscribed themes found throughout the music
(Johnson, 2014). However, if these people could give it a little
more analysis, they would discover that those dimensions
perceived to be destructive actually bear positive results among
metal fans (Arnett, 2006). What is contained within metal
music is actually an exhibit of views and emotions that have a
purging impact, which enables adolescents listening to it
muddle through the relentlessly transforming world around
them. Furthermore, heavy metal music is employed as a tool for
conveying emotion in passive way, rather than through physical
demolition sought by some young people.
A research investigation conducted in Israel concentrated on the
role of music reverence and adolescent culture identification.
Young people obsessions for music could mirror n endeavor to
eventually gain some autonomy and distance from the family
and enter different social system within their peer group
(Arnett, 2012). Although young people’s participation in
fashionable culture is vital from developmental point of view
and for independence attainment, a heightened level of
9. attachment as marked by adoration of teen idols may be
suggestive of challenges in the process of personal-identity
formation and over-dependence on the group of peers (King,
2011 & Took, 2014). The later is frequently linked to drug use
and abuse, which is deemed a possible risk factor of suicidal
ideation. In addition, heavy metal music could have negative
effects by representing a futile avoidance survival mechanism,
which dissimulates significant issues that may remain
unattended to.
As a music that has been associated with the devil, Martin
(2013), argues that this just a misconception probably
originating from the brutality of the instruments and the
believed intensity behind the lyrics. “The distorted guitar,
overpowering drumbeat, and clean vocals alongside with some
screaming probably create a totally different image – away from
the truth” (Arnett, 2012). People view such a mixture as loud,
disturbing, and dangerous (Johnson, 2014). However, through
such a combination, heavy metal communicates the truth about
the world they live, through such a combination, it shows them
that they are not all by themselves. Heavy metal musicians
connect with millions of adolescents as they reflect what’s
going on in their minds – and the music notifies them they are
not unaided” (Lacourse, 2001). Regardless of its bad repute,
this type of music is helpful to adolescents: it talks to the murky
side of life that is ignored by most media, and actually informs
10. the teens that they are not deserted. Heavy metal has been
viewed as venom that enters the minds of the adolescents and
nurtures their dark wishes (Took, 2014); conversely, the
piercing vocals and imprecise beats truly symbolize a refuge for
these young adults. The common belief that the explosive lyrics
vicious, rebellious and put down in anticipations of causing the
world to collapse are just pure misconceptions.
While people who like hard metal are inclined to posses some
suicidal risk factors, they are also apt to idolize their favorite
musicians and listen to the music they like for vicarious release.
These two dimensions could to a certain extend explain the past
correlations established between preference for hard metal
music and suicidal tendencies (Johnson, 2014). As such, they
have been deemed as likely risk factors. In addition, there are
several songs that are known to preach anti-Christianity hence
promoting devil worshipping. For instance, "Satan is Endless
Satan is Timeless” and “Goat Worship” are two songs from
Nattefrost’s album “Terrorist” produced in 2006. Even before
listening to the song, their title sends a message of anti-
Christianity, which according to psychologists is likely to
influence the minds of the young as they tend to emulate what
the media tells them
On the contrary, through three elements of heavy metal
(nihilism, psychological chaos and themes portraying anti-
Christian opinions), Walser (2013), gives an analysis of the
11. political formations of this genre in adolescents. Under
“psychological chaos”, the author explains that way themes in
heavy metal assist young people to identify with music as the
surrounding world is chaotic. The connection aids in forms of
relation and expression that are unavailable in other music
genres. Nihilism found in metal lyrics is viewed as a challenge
to the customarily created code of conduct (Arnett, 2012). As
adolescents discover their beliefs, they can defy what is
conventionally acknowledged and see the bigger picture hence
forming their own beliefs. Furthermore, nihilism and violent
aspects in metal music are employed by fans as a kind of
expression rather than action, such that emotions can be
articulated through music rather through physical violence
(Zuckerman, 2008). Anti-Christian aspects found in heavy metal
bear the same effect in that, they shove the limits of what is
generally accepted. In his article, Walser (2013), asserts that,
rather than for concrete identification of non-Christian views,
such elements are employed more for “shock value”. For
instance, in the photo of a DIO album cover that depicts
demonic images provide the “shock value” to the collection
(King, 2011). As such, the scenes in this genre of music
provided way to articulate the prejudiced condition if a subtle
repression.
However, even if the images contained in this type of music
were used by the fans for “shock value” purposes, most of them
12. promote disrespect for religion among the youth. For example,
the band Marduk that takes the name of the ancient Babylonian
God is famous for its religious and philosophical Satanism
themes (King, 2011). One of their wicked early tape covers
displays masturbating with a crucifix and the words “Fuck Me
Jesus.” In addition a few choice songs including “Blessed
Unholy” and "Jesus Christ Sodomized," are clearly not just
meant for purposes of shock value but demonstrate a concrete
identification of non-Christian views among heavy metal artists.
Conclusion
From what is described above, one can see that heavy metal
music has a very strong subculture which is sometimes viewed
to isolate its fans from the common traditional culture. Most of
its fans demonstrate extreme dedication to their type of music
and rely on it to serve various purposes. According to analysts,
this type of over-dependency can lead to extreme influence
based on what is preached in the music. Unfortunately, most
songs in this music genre speak about drug use and as a result
impact the fans to believe in the goods that come with the use of
drugs. In addition, the violent nature of the music is viewed as
one that promotes violence. As a group that can be easily
influenced by what they see and hear in the media, adolescents
who prefer heavy rock are thought to quickly grasp the message
in these songs and put it into practice. This therefore,
13. predisposes them to develop delinquent behavior and drug abuse
issues. Conversely, supporters of heavy music argue that, most
people who come up with such conclusions do not actually
know what the music genre entails and their negative judgments
are founded on hearsay and superficial knowledge. They are just
mere misconceptions. However while it has some positive side
of it, heavy rock mostly has negative influence on people,
especially the teenagers.
