By repeatedly using “one” and “can,” Kellie conveys that one person, action, etc., has a unique power to make a difference. Kellie successfully ties together examples of her message that otherwise appear seemingly different by beginning each line with “one.” This is especially present in the third stanza, in which choices
Hope, that is one powerful word. Hope is the one thing we have to have to do anything to work you have to have hope to be better off, or if you are going to chemotherapy if you are ill. If you did not have any hope then there is no need for that treatment, and even going day to day requires hope. So if one person keeps the hope of others high, there is nothing that they can’t accomplish. In comparison one man with hope in his heart is the equivalent to one hundred men.
Chapter two in the textbook Reflect & Relate an Introduction to Interpersonal Communication by Steven McCornack talks all about what “self” is and how to achieve complete fulfillment for one’s self which is also known as self-actualization. The components of self, as described in the book are, “ . . . self-awareness, self-concept, and self-esteem” (McCornack 39). Self-awareness is the idea in which one can take a moment to move feelings, beliefs, and other external influences aside and just evaluate oneself in a holistic perspective that is not skewed by opinions of others, etc. Having the ability to actually think about who one is brings a lot of power and mental stability in such a way that allows for improvement.
Music is all around us, yet we often don’t look closely into the lyrics to find the true meaning of what we are hearing. As we look closer into the lyrics of our music today, we can see that there are songs that have deeper meanings that try to motivate those who listen as well as songs that are just a catchy tune that people enjoy. Music is supposed to influence us, to drive people to be better, and to have a lasting effect on the listener. Artists who employ their lyrics to do this are “Muses” of today’s society. On the other hand, there are “Monsters” in the music industry who focus their lyrics on the ugly parts of our world and spread negative values amongst their listeners.

The Beatles are arguably the most popular band of the 20th century and their chart toppers conveyed various topics through song. An analysis of The Beatles’ song Yesterday reveals some of the communication skills used: relatability, intrapersonal communication, and self-feedback.

She is showered with compliments such as, “Cup, you’re beautiful”, and “Cup, you have a beautiful smile” (Brown 409). This keeps her psychologically on track and dissuades pessimistic thoughts she might be having about herself. Ne-Yo’s 2008 hit single “Miss Independent'' contains an analogous illustration. Heis partner is currently struggling with her self-image, so he reminds her that “she walk like a boss, talk like a boss,” and that “she’s fly effortlessly” (Smith 0:44-0:54).

This theory was made by Michael Argyle (1925- 2002), who was a social psychologist. In the late 1960s he studied social skills, body language, non-verbal communication and interpersonal behaviour. In this study, he found that non-verbal signals can be much more important and useful than verbal communication when trying to trigger peoples’ attitudes and feelings. His research showed and found that the stronger the relationship between the people communicating so with close friends for example the much better eye contact. However, when the relationship is not very strong so when speaking to a stranger people don’t have very good eye contact and they tend to look away when talking.

The remarkable concept about music is that it allows individuals to connect and express themselves freely despite differences. Because top charting songs heavily carry these characteristics, the song “Anti-Hero” by Taylor Swift exceeds expectations and sits at the number one spot on Billboard Top 100 for consecutive weeks. Therefore, it takes an experienced artist to be able to continuously grasp the attention of listeners for extended periods of time. The singer, Swift, reveals through “Anti-Hero” that a mixture of being lyrically talented, orchestrating a catchy chorus, swapping multiple genres, and setting the musical tone can persuade anyone to be infatuated with her song.
They will demonstrate how popular lyrics will often reflect common ideas about personality and development should give students a perspective on the public’s perceptions of personality and illustrate the usefulness of psychology in everyday life. The study was conducted by psychology professor and he compared students from his two personality classes. The first class consisted of 18 freshmen, seven sophomores, four juniors, and six seniors and the second class consisted of eight freshmen, two sophomores, three juniors, and two seniors (Leck, 2006). The professor selected 13 songs from his music collection with lyrics that reflected elements of personality theories that were presented to the students throughout the semester and the lyrics were displayed in a powerpoint presentation to the class and than they had to attempt to identify the concept they thought the song demonstrated, they would discuss possible interpretations (Leck, 2006). Towards the end of the semester, the professor administered a short survey to determine the effectiveness of this activity.
