confront lots of pressure but usually have difficulties in coping with it.
Music therapy can be an ideal means to liberate their pressure and
classical music is often utilized in the therapy. Although music therapy has been affirmed that it can
positively help people liberate their pressure, in fact, assessment and analysis
of patients are needed and the type of music should not be stereotyped only in
classical music but differentiated for individual cases.

Chung,
Cristina (C). “Virtual
Sex: Sexual Liberation for Female or Sexual Oppression?”
In the paper, I discussed about female sexual liberation and sexual
oppression, and related the discussion with recent social phenomenon, virtual
sex. Sexual liberation is referred to female who could freely and bravely
display sexual desire. Virtual world is a place for female to release her sexual
desire, and further to reach sexual satisfaction. On the contrary, due to
patriarchy ethos, it is believed that female as inferior to men. Under
patriarchy circumstance, female functions as cheap labor to take care of the
household and to satisfy male’s sexual need. It then seems the conduct of
virtual sex is an oppression that force female to hide her lust behind computer
screen. After all, virtual world provide a safe place to stimulus female’s
imagination and excitement, and women could conduct virtual sex whenever they
need to release their sexual desire. I then conclude that an open mind attitude
about sexual pursuing and satisfaction is sexual liberation. In other words,
virtual sex is considered as sexual liberation.

“More Connections Less Human Touch”
The emergence of Internet has innovated the way of communication, as well
as increased the chances of connection between people. However, along with the
advantage of convenience, this revolutionary technology has also secluded human
relationship by discouraging physical interaction between people. As a result
the Internet should not be overused as another space for socialization, or else
a new species with a complete different understanding of human relationship
would be bred in the next generation.

“A Possible Source of Violence—Existential Insecurity.”
The sense of insecurity is a human condition that has an impact on our
lives. Most insecurity is solvable, for that they are caused by the absence of
specific conditions of security. Once the lack is fulfilled, the insecurity goes
as swiftly as it comes. However, existential insecurity comes from within a
person, and it is not easy to handle; plus, it could be a source of misbehavior,
difficulties in dealing with others, and even violence. Findings indicate that,
though there are various causes of violence, the sense of existential insecurity
seems to be one possible source that leads to extreme behaviors.
