Where can I find an article on the impact Music Videos had on music?

Posted by admin on February 20th, 2010 and filed under article development | 1 Comment »

Development, dates of the invention, people involved, impact on music through the ages; how it has evolved, how music has evolved from it.

Other than Wikipedia?

If you can answer my questions thoroughly yourself, you will be chosen as best answer.

well….cool visual effects has distracted people from how crappy the lyrics are, or the lack of talent of the singer

Appearance matters more. Before videos, people judged an artist on the merit of their work, not their sex appeal. Now people see the body first and judge the music second.

Try MTV and see if they have a history page. Originally the videos they showed were short things made by labels to promote a record. The advent of MTV turned them ito a subgenre of film and developed it’s own standard of creativity.

What are the independent and dependent variables of "Regulatory Mechanisms Governing Gender Development"?

Posted by admin on February 18th, 2010 and filed under article development | 1 Comment »

It’s a psych. article by A. Bandura and K. Bussey, Child Development Journal, 1992. Yes, this is for a Psych. Development course which, come to find out, is WAY over my head. If I had to pick, I’d say the kids tested were the dependent variable, and the toys that were given to the kids (feminine, neutral, and masculine) were the independent variables. I’m very confused. I also don’t understand the charts at all! I just want help, please!!

Sorry to hear that you feel you’re in way over your head … be patient and be confident that you will get it … because you will.

The independent variable is that which gets manipulated to cause an effect (or effects) on the dependent variable (another way of putting it is that the dependent variable "depends" on what the independent variable does to cause some effect or change).

As such, you have it right! Stay with the course … you will be fine!

What’s a fairly recent development in the building world?

Posted by admin on February 16th, 2010 and filed under article development | 4 Comments »

I’m supposed to write a paper on new building technology. It can be materials or a process or whatever. The problem is, I can’t even think of a topic. Any help would be appreciated! If you could give me a link to a specific article, that would be even better!!! Thank you!!!!

You could write VOLUMES just on composite materials, used in kitchen/bath or decking. Window technolgy as well as concrete use composite addatives. Laminate flooring is new, as is many forms of wall material.

Certainly strides are made all the time in actual construction, technolgy,,,as will be evident in a new construction eventually on the 9/11 site, as well as Hurricane "proofing: structures where that is a problem,,,and too, building technology near fault lines.

Good luck with your "paper"
