Music is something that every person has
his or her own specific opinion about. Different people have different taste,
and various types of music have many ways of leaving an impact on someone. It
can be relaxing, angering, soothing, energizing, and many more.
There are so many types of music out there
today. Rap, pop, rock, country, indie, alternative, hardcore are some of the
abundant types in the world. Music sends out either good or bad messages that
have a big impact on how people act. People usually become friends with others
who have the same taste in music as the rest of the people they hang out with.
People may not want to associate with people who have different tastes in music
because they’ll argue about it.
Rap and Rock music are two very important
types of music in the world. They both send out different messages and help
kids. The lyrics sung or rapped by the artists can be things going on in their
own personal lives. People with the same types of problems can listen to them
so they know there’s hope and there are similar people out there in the
world.
Music can also serve as a catalyst for new
ideas. When people listen to the new things out there, they learn different
things going on in the world and they become more open-minded.
People can use music to express
themselves, in ways it can’t be expressed through behaviour, or art. You can
usually tell how someone’s feeling by the type of music he or she is listening
to at the time. It’s a tool used by many. Groups of people around the world can
come together and gather at concerts, shows, and venues to show what their
interests and likes are.
I can personally relate to the effects
that music has on its listeners and users because it’s a big part of my life.
Every day I listen to the words and sounds of different singers/bands with
contrasting ideas and opinions. The music I listen to makes me who I am. www.teenink.com: How-Music-Affects-Teens

A brief history of
the UK Parliament
Parliament started life as an English
affair. It was not much of a Parliament - more of a talking shop for the king
and rich men. The king asked their advice, but did what he wanted. These
meetings morphed into a formal arrangement which eventually became the House of
Lords. In those days - and for several centuries later - England was busy
fighting with Scotland and raiding Wales.
By the 13th Century, a parliament was when
kings met up with English barons to raise cash for fighting wars - mostly
against Scotland. Thanks to Magna Carta of 1215, kings were now obliged to ask
before taking anyone's money. That did not stop the rows though. Some barons
got fed up with Henry III - not least because of his failed, expensive battles
in Wales. The ambitious Simon de Montfort sidelined Henry and made himself
ruler. De Montfort was a big fan of Parliament. The one in 1265 was the first
to involve "ordinary" folk - knights, not just the super-rich. And it
was the first time elections were held - the first stirrings of the House of
Commons we know today. The venue was usually Westminster, where one
enterprising monarch had built a massive hall on a swamp, which grew into the
Palace of Westminster. Westminster Hall is still in use today.
Scotland had its own parliament from the
13th century, which was occasionally held in open air. In those days, though,
the king had the real power. So one of the early campaigns for independence was
sparked by an English king declaring himself king of Scotland. William Wallace
led the rebellion. In those days campaign weapons were bows and arrows. Wallace
was eventually found guilty of treason. He was dragged through the streets of
London naked before being hanged, drawn and quartered.
In the early days there were no rules on
who could vote. But a feeling developed that too many "persons of low
estate" were doing so. So from 1430 you could only vote if you owned
property worth 40 shillings. The rule stayed in place for 400 years. Ireland
also had its own parliament from the 13th Century. In 1542, Irish MPs decided
that whoever was king of England should also be king of Ireland. They kept
their parliament going though.
The seeds of a UK Parliament were sown in
1542 when Wales came on board. At the time, Wales was a patchwork of
independent areas. But along came Henry VIII, a man fond of dramatic gestures.
Having given the Catholic Church its marching orders, he was worried that the
Catholics would not go quietly. To stop the Welsh coming under their influence,
he decided Wales would be ruled by England. By now Parliament was a
full-blooded institution and Wales was allowed to send representatives. Henry
called it an Act of Union but it was more of a forced marriage.
By 1603, England and Scotland had the same
king but different parliaments. King James tried to persuade the English
Parliament to bring the Scottish Parliament into the fold. But English MPs
refused to let any Scots into the Westminster club.
The Commons got into its stride in the
1620s. Fights in the chamber... the king trying to arrest MPs. Eventually,
Charles I dissolved Parliament for 11 years. He brought it back because he was
short of money for a war with... Scotland. The rows got worse, leading to a war
between Parliament and the king. The king was put on trial and then executed.
Hard to imagine nowadays but the Commons voted to abolish the monarchy
altogether.
After the civil war, England became a
republic under Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell had big ideas. He annexed Scotland and
Ireland into a full union with a single parliament at Westminster. The 1654
parliament was the first one in which the whole of Britain was represented. But
Cromwell dissolved it pretty quickly when MPs refused to do his bidding.
At the end of the 18th
Century, there was a powerful campaign for Irish independence from England. The
English response? To crush the rebellion brutally and bring Ireland firmly into
the UK with another Act of Union. That was the end of the Irish Parliament. A
hundred Irish MPs turned up at Westminster. By now, the Commons chamber was
getting pretty crowded.
There was a succession of rebellions in
Ireland, throughout the 19th Century, against Britain. Moderate rebels settled
on "Home Rule" as the way forward - which included bringing back an
Irish Parliament. Just as the Westminster Parliament looked set to agree, World
War One broke out. Finally in 1920 - after a rebellion which became a civil war
- a law was passed dividing Ireland into north and south. Northern Ireland was
given its own parliament, which was suspended in 1972 because of the Troubles.
The south became a new independent Irish state. And, of course, this
arrangement was fiercely controversial for most of the 20th Century. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics
