Science has been with us ever since our ancestors were barely civilized. It has simplified our lives to the extent that not only has it brought about positive effects but negative effects as well. Science is all around us, from the trash gathered in our waste basket to the chair, table and computer you are using to read this essay right now. To put it simply, as we continue our evolution, knowingly or unknowingly, the more we discover things through science and more change will be brought into our lives, whether we like it or not.
For example, ever since our primitive ancestors have discovered fire and created the first ever invention – the wheel – humanity’s life had steadily become easier over time. As time went by more and more inventions have been created and a lot has been improved. Medicine, for example, has been improved through research and with the development of more advanced technology some of the fatal illnesses that had plagued our ancestors could be cured now. These, among other things, are just some of the positive effects science has provided us throughout the years, but as with all things, when there is positive there will always be an underlying negative.
Some of these negative effects are pollution, an increased laziness in today’s youth and an even larger temptation to procrastinate using the internet – a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite to serve several billion users worldwide – when people have more important things to attend to. As science continues to progress more and more inventions are being created, and more of the planet’s ecosystem is polluted causing some of the wonders of the world be destroyed or at the very least be hidden. Like the view of the night sky being ruined due to light pollution and the once clear waters of some bodies of water to become murky just to name a few.
Music plays an important role in my life. I simply can’t live without music. There are so many kinds of music nowadays, including rap, hip-hop, rock-n-roll, dance, classical, opera, alternative, drum & bass, techno, rock, metal, jazz, reggae, blues, etc. I like nearly all these types. When I’m sad I listen to alternative music or rock. When I’m in good mood I listen to either hip-hop or dance music. Sometimes my teacher takes us to classical concerts or operas, which I also enjoy. When there is a school disco I like dancing at rap and techno music. Once or twice I went to a jazz concert, which I thought was marvelous. At the moment my favourite band is “Linkin Park”. I love their songs and listen to them every time I get a spare minute. The reason why I like them is the unusual melody and intelligent texts. The band was formed in 1996 and was named after one of Californian parks. There are six people in the band. The most talented of all is Chester Bennington. Although I like all their songs and albums, my favourite one if “Skin to Bone”. Their songs follow different styles. Some songs refer to rock, some – to alternative style, others – to metal. Speaking of British music, I enjoy one of the oldest and non-existent now bands – “The Beatles”. I think their music will never die as it’s legendary. Reggae is another style I follow and my all-time favourite singer is Bob Marley. To sum up, I’d like to say that music can influence people. It can inspire and enrich them. It can remind of some places and times. Music is not only another art form but a powerful force, which helps us to live.
