Prospectus

1) Listening to music relieves stress/negative thoughts or feelings.

2) Aside from reading my paper, I'm confident that my audience/readers will really put into perspective how they feel before and after they listen to music, despite the genre, lyrics, etc. I think once something like this is brought to ones attention, they'll truly start to realize the positive affects that listening to music has on us and our brains.

3) Personally I know that music makes me feel amazing, even if I'm listening to a sad song. It's incredible that no matter what a specific song might be about, people find a way to relate their life to it. The biggest thing that I don't know about music that would really help my paper is the statistics as far as the effects music has on the brain, the body, our attitudes, etc.

4) In regards to my topic, some questions I have are:
What are the most popular kinds of music that are being listened to today?
Which/what studies show the effect that listening to music has on our brain or overall attitude?
Are there truly people in the world that don't enjoy listening to music, and why?
What are people's responses to music based upon the genre, lyrics, etc?

5) Some resources that I can use for my topic are:
