Recommended: Reflection on kohlberg's stages of moral development

How can someone properly write out the blueprint of their life, when, in reality, their life has not been complete? Even if someone writes out their life’s blueprint, it must be understood that life will never work out the way it is planned. Life is not a building. It cannot be perfectly built off of a plan or put into a mold so that it comes out perfect, or that person's version of perfect. Just like Rome, a person's entire life cannot be built in a day. Even with careful planning hardships will come and roads can be slippery when wet. There is no such thing as a perfect plan for life. Life is not a one way street, you will swerve into the other lane every now and then, however, with planning and thoughtful consideration, you can become a …show more content…

However, it is not just the people who have walked into my life that have shaped my life, it is also music. Throughout my life I am realised that I am able to focus much better when I have music playing in the background and that whenever I’m thinking about something I tap my foot. This has helped me to discover that I have a strong musical intelligence. I also play in the high school band and I take flute lessons. Music has not only shaped how I learn, but also who I am as a person because it has taught me responsibility and it is currently helping to lead me out of Stage Four and into Stage Five of Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development. However, as my life goes on, I hope for all of the interactions I have had to help me develop and grow to my fullest potential. As I develop through life, I hope that one day I can properly reach Kohlberg’s Sixth Stage of Moral development. These interactions will help me communicate with people once I am much older and those interactions will help me when I get into college. They will help me when I make discussions with teachers, elders, bosses, and many other people. However, all of the happenings in my life will prepare me for the next happening and the next curve in the

    Once this is accomplished, students gain personal pride in achieving this new skill. Music programs offer lots of chances for students to develop new talents, whether that is playing an instrument or singing a song. “Music programs in public schools help to foster a student’s sense of pride and self-confidence” (Hoffman 1), and with this newfound pride, students will develop more experience in other areas, like working with others and communicating with different people. Music plays an active role in student’s lives, and as core subject grades begin to rise, “music education remains a key component in a student’s academic success and in positive social and emotional growth” (Hoffman 1). Music forms dignity in a students abilities, offering to give the students a chance to develop their communication and social skills in a safe environment, and give themselves positive feelings about their accomplishments. Without music programs in schools, students will have less pride in their abilities and will not let them gain that safe environment to achieve these experiences with

    From that one friend that lends you his notes to review for the test, to that one guy you see in the news that saved some children from a burning building but something that goes unnoticed by most adults and some of the older generations is musical artists. In my experience an artist by the name of Sir Robert Bryson Hall II (more widely known as Logic) has impacted my life, through music, to the point where I can say he’s saved my life. Not directly in the sense that he stopped me from a suicide or anything of that matter, but in the sense that he was a more positive role model to me unlike my surroundings and peers. He showed me you could be cool and still be a positive guy. He influenced me to the point that I didn’t want to really affiliate with people that weren’t positive and people who didn’t bring that good vibe to the picture. I truly believe that Logic through his music has been a hero for me. He’s been my good role model when I didn’t have any positive role models around me. I’m living proof that music can have a great impact on the lives of the people who listen to it.

Music does many things, it can bring back a memory or a feeling, it can sooth and relax, and it teaches. Music also teaches children; Language, listening skills, and communication to name a few of the concepts children learn through music. "Scientists are confirming what teachers have long suspected: Music not only touches people's souls, it also shapes growing minds. When children sing or play music they become better readers, thinkers and learners. The more we discover about how the brain works, the more we recognize how crucial music is to children's learning."

Now that I am an adult or semi adult, I wish to be a child again. Looking back at my childhood everything seemed so easy. Now that I’m out in the “real world” everything seems to be ten times harder. As we continue to grow and develop we go through several stages of life. These characteristics can be distinguished by these similarities and differences: our thoughts in each stage, our actions in each stage, and our experiences.
