Ethnography Proposal

Study the effects that music has on nearly all people

The study that would be performed would be more specifically a look into how any person uses music in their daily life. This would include what activities are centered around the act of listening to music, how important music is to them, what effects that the person feels when music comes up in a certain situation, if and how music could persuade someone to do something specific, etc. The people that would be study could and should be as many different types of people that can realistically be surveyed. I have read a few journals that have studied the fact that every culture has had some form of music that was important to them and also the fact that nearly all people today enjoy some form of music or tolerate it. There are very few that hate music. This study would be an interesting way to confirm that and also find out how music affects them.
