The artical “Italian seaside town planning miniskirt ban” said that a seaside city in Italy is planning to ban miniskirts and other revealing clothing to improve what the mayor calls “standards of public decency”.
This event makes me think two things. The first one is, even in Italy, the country which is considered as the most fashionable and open, has those people who propose such stereotype draft resolutions. This country leads the currency of fashion worldwide and there people are considered as those who are the most care their exterior in this world. It goes by Gucci, Faralli and wine which represent sexy, enjoyable and unique. Simultaneously, I will think that its rules tend to be open and loose. On the contrast, they are planning to ban miniskirts. It really shocked me and I will discuss the reasons which provided by those rulers in next paragraphs.
“Rowdy, unruly or simply badly behaved” is the definition by one of the officials who is involved this proposal for those who wear miniskirts. This definition is not reasonable because not all of those who wear miniskirts are “rowdy, unruly or simply badly behaved”. Although some of them are really bad-behaved, but there are much more people who are worse-behaved do not wear miniskirts. Provided this definition is cogent, so next what will they ban? Those who pierce 2+ holes?
On the second part, I would like to argue for females with the rights of their wearing. Nowadays, people have the right to choose their favour dressing(except those who have special religious). People `s self-conscious are increasing and they are increasingly aware of such things like who they are or how do other people regard as me. Therefore they pay increasingly attentions on their wearing. So, banning for miniskirt can be regarded a controlling of human `s self-conscious and especially for females because males do not wear miniskirt. Everyone knows that women have been suffering for centuries until recent years: they started to have right to vote, started to have chance to work ... of course, they started to own the right to wear what they like. Definitely, this ban are trying to break this tendency. It can be thought as kind of return stroke of the rising of the female conscious.
I think it is ridiculous, what do you think?

I love "Britpop" style music
My cousin is a man who knows everything about rock music. When I was a student in middle school, I was a cult of him so that I became a rock fan. About sever or eight years ago he recommended a song “yellow” by coldplay -- that is my first time to touch the world of “Britpop”. After that, I completely became a crazy fan of Britpop music.
“Britpop” is a British alternative rock movement which occured in the 1990s. It was characterised by the appearance of bands who borrowed influences from 1960s and 1970s while creating big, catchy hooks, as well as the appeal of earlier pop stardom and the sense that they were creating the soundtrack to the lives of a new generation of British youth. It was very popular between 1990 to 2000. In that time, many Britpop bands appealed and occupied the top seat of every ranking list. We call it “Britpop new wave”.
Before being a fan of Britpop music, I was listening to other rock band such as Bon Jovi, Queen or Linkin Park. In my opinion, the biggest difference between Britpop and the other rock style is that britpop music is more melodic; it has some flavours which you can not find in other rock music. Generally, those musicians express their emotion in a louder, harder and more emotional style. But the Britpop has the other style for expressing: the unique, distressed, dramatic and gorgeous is their way. They do not shout during the entire song, but you are touched deeper compare with Linkin Park style.
Nowadays there are many famous Britpop band in the world. No wonder the most famous two bands are radiohaed and coldplay. Here I would like to present a song for you (although it is damn hard to pick up a song in their abundance fantastic songs). “Fix you”, by coldplay in their album “X & Y”.

Summary and Response
Recently the scientists have created a technique which can improves the performance of musicians. It is called “neurofeedback”. The scientists collect the objects ` brain activity through sensors attached to the scalp and then transform it to the form of a video game displayed on a screen. The subjects learn to control the game by altering aspects of their brain activity. According to the research, the technique can improve by an average of 17% and some objects are improved by 50%. By the way, it was applied to treat epilepsy, alcoholism, attention deficit and post-traumatic stress disorders.
In my opinion, it is a good try for improving musicians ` performance in a physical way, which was applied to medical fields. Which is controversial is that the idea “ music talent is from the God” has been in people `s mind since music existed. People always think that music is such a sacred thing and musician is also a unique occupation which is different from other jobs. Therefore, people are not like and do not believe that physical could be really helpful and build a connection with music performance. In contrary, I do not agree with this point of view. Nowadays, musicians are involved of societies much more than fifty or sixty years ago. Also, considering using scientific ways to improve music performance is a surging current in the world. I can not determine it is a good way but it is a good try. Human `s history is written by failed tries. If we do not try new ways, we could not evolve. For example, almost everyone hate so-called “new music”, they prefer the “classic music”. But today `s classic music was yesterday `s “new music”! Besides, every great inventions are from thousands times tries. Therefore, I think we should be open to these kinds of new things.
