Should Music be Implemented on a Test?

Some people believe that listening to music while doing something good. It could make us energetic, or even make us sleep faster. It is also been approved by a research stating that it could improve our focus. Therefore, some people believe that music should be implemented as a sound background in college tests. However, I personally believe that music is not a good idea to be implemented in college tests

First, music will distract students on their test. Some people claimed that music will increase our focus on doing activities. In my opinion, it depends on the music, the activity, and the interest. If those aspect are match, the it will be a fun. For instance, ‎listening to an upbeat music while exercising or doing a housework alone will surely be a fun thing. However, when the music, the activity, and the interest does not match, it will be a bad idea. For instance, when when we are doing a test and accompanied by music. A test is mostly pressurized by time and mostly in a serious situation. The first problem is that a test is usually conducted in a large number of student. ‎The second is that not all students have the same interest in music even if they like music. Both will get distracted either lost in the music or disturbed by the music. The worst part is when they get bad scores.

Second, not all student can listening to music while on a test. There are many types of student, some students like studying while listening music and some students don’t. As mentioned previously, even students that like music are still possible to get distracted. Students who don’t like disturbance on a serious situation will find music as a problem. They cannot concentrate on the test. They will try to deal with the music, securing themselves from hearing music, then doing the test. The time allotted which can be used for answering the test will be wasted away because of music. ‎The worse part is that they will get a bad score.

Lastly, the usage of music may be used for cheating. One of the purpose of silent environment on a test is the lecturers are able to monitor all of the students. Silent environment can make them aware of any not necessary sounds including conversations. ‎On the other hand, a music on a test will potentially hide some unnecessary sounds from the lecturer’s hearing. Students will take advantage of this situation for cheating. Students who sit on the very back of the class will get a huge advantage of this. ‎It may results good scores. The worse part is that they will be dependants and pass the test without knowing anything.

Music may proven good for studying. It helps us to focus. Moreover, it helps us to enjoy what we do. But we should understand that most of the activities are simple activities. We have to realize that there are some activities are serious activities and we do really have to focus. That is why plane operators, pilots, soccer player, and soldiers on a battlefield don’t listening to music in their serious time. Because it will disturb their focus. The risk of listening to music is not worth the result of the activity.

Wrapping up, there are three reasons of why music is not a good idea for a test. It can distract students, not all students are able to listening to music while on a test, and potentially be used for cheating. Music may be good for studying and other simple activities but not for a test and other serious activities.

Topic : 

Background music to improve students' performance in college tests.

Thesis statement :

Some people believe that listening to music while doing something good. It could make us energetic, or even make us sleep faster. It is also been approved by a research stating that it could improve our focus. Therefore, some people believe that music should be implemented as a sound background in college tests. However, I personally believe that music is not a good idea to be implemented in college tests.

Personal arguments:

- Students got distracted - Not all students could do it - It could be used as a disguise in cheating

Opposite's argument:

- It helps to focus

Designer Babies

Humans have been engineering life for thousands of years, starting from selective breeding, radiation, and and DNA injection that not using torture indisife of Today scientists have found a way to modify human genetic through a better and cheaper method called CRISPR. Many people disagree and condemn the use of genetic engineering to humans despite the fact that it provides some benefits for ourselves. 

First, this genetic engineering especially in babies can be our first step to end deseases. In 2015, scientists tested this newfound technology in genetic engineering to kill HIV virus from a mice subject that has 99% of infection. It was proven that this technology removed more than 50% of the virus in the body. In a few decades, this technology might advances and able to cure HIV entirely. A treatment was also conducted to cancer on human patients in 2016 using this technology in the US and China. With this powerful technology we may able to end all deseases. It may starts slowly by using some designed babies only for eliminating some deadly genetic deseases in a family. Later, it will be inherited and spreaded out through reproduction.

Second, this technology called CRISPR is a revolutionary technology in genetic engineering. This concept of genetic engineering have been around for thousands of years but we do not know how it works. Later we found the code of life called DNA and we tried to learn about it. In 1960s, people radiated plants to get random mutations. In 1994 first modified food went on sale. Today, there are supermuscled pig, glow in the dark fish, and see through frog. But recently, genetic engineering became expensive and took a long time to do. Then there is a new technology called CRISPR. this technology has shrunken the cost by 99% and only takes few weeks to conduct experiments. Not only cheaper and faster, CRISPR able to study or modify certain DNA sequences, it also compatible with every type of cells. It will surely make the genetic engineering especially on human babies became more efficient, cheap, and fast. 

Lastly, this technology is the key to our kinds' survival. We know that the most death are caused by age-related cause. It is also caused from the declining system in our cells as we get older and older. By this technology, we are able to extend our life or even reverse it. Using the concept, we could borrow some genes from animals that immune to aging and implement it to us. By this concept as well, we could borrow some genes from other living creatures that have different habitat which we could never live before. This will certainly make our kind or our future kind to remain exist in this universe.

Unfortunately, this new technology perfect. This powerful technology still in a very early stage. We only knew a few of how this technology works. Some believe that it could lead to an inequality in the society. Moreover, if we do not be careful and wise in using this technology, it may ended up in a bad hand. A scenario of super soldier led by a leader who wanted to conquer the world is scary enough. Although the negative effects seem scary, it is actually a normal thing. I believe it is going to be well as long as we keep enriching our understanding in this subject with caution, reason, oversight, and transparency. And the answer regarding inequality is that we already living in this world. We live here because we are the product of a certain standard. In a nutshell, standard is everywhere even before this designer babies.

In conclusion, designer babies is a very potential thing. It may sounds scary but we have a lot of advantages. We might end diseases and increase life expectancy by centuries. We do not need to think small when we talk about this topic because the future is approaching no matter how disagree we are.

Concluding Paragraph

In conclusion, designer babies is a very potential thing. It may sounds scary but we have a lot of advantages. We might end diseases, increase life expectancy by centuries and travel to the stars. We do not need to think small when we talk about this topic because the future is approaching no matter how disagree our arguments are.

But it doesn't mean that this new technology perfect. Although it has huge potential, this powerful technology still in a very early stage. We only knew a few of how this technology works. We still need to learn a lot about this to avoid unintended results. We must be very careful and wise for there are still a lot of unknown errors. Moreover, if we do not be careful and wise in using this technology, it may ended up in a bad hand. A scenario of super soldier led by a leader who wanted to conquer the world is scary enough. So we have to be really careful about this technology.

My arguments :

Designer baby is a promising tool for getting rid of serious viruses and deseases such as HIV, herpes, cancer cell, Huntington’s desease, tay-sachs desease, colour blindness, etc.

CRISPR is a revolutionary technology that makes genetic engineering 99% cheaper and faster than before towards not only humans but also another living creatures

Design babies would be the key of the survival of our kind in this hostile universe.

Opposite argument

This technology is still in the first generation and we still need to learn more about this. It is also possible to be misused for bad purposes.

Intro

Have you ever heard of genetic engineering? In a nutshell, genetic engineering is a method of editing genes in our body. It may seems absurd because it was the nature’s field. Turned out that, humans have been engineering life for thousands of years, starting from selective breeding, radiation, and and DNA injection. Today scientists have found a way to modify human genetic through a better and cheaper method called CRISPR. Many people disagree and condemn the use of genetic engineering to humans despite the fact that it provides some benefits for ourselves.

CRISPR

+parents are able to design their babies

+ children could have better health. Possibly immune to all deseases

+ children could have longer life

+ able to be used for long time studies such as space travel

- wrong editing still exists

- genetic defects

- possibly used for bad purposes

- considered unethical (for some beliefs)
