Carter, B. Elijah; Wiles, Jason R. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2016

Karnick, S. T. – Academic Questions, 2010
Despite the prevailing vulgarity of its most notorious programming, television today has moved toward more traditional values. As a result of market realities, TV programming has become more diverse politically and thematically in recent years, and that has opened the door for traditional values to return to the nation's TV screens and even…

Gerlich, R. Nicholas; Browning, Leigh; Westermann, Lori – Journal of College Teaching & Learning, 2010
Neuropsychologists have demonstrated the effect music has on the human brain, and that a peak "musical memory age" occurs around 14, when normal bodily maturation is in progress. A group of 114 college students between the ages of 19 and 25 was exposed to short clips of the top 20 songs from each of the 11 years during their youth;…

While it is not a problem to accept this dual role, the complication lies in choosing what type of cultural content to include in their lessons. First, they have to decide whether a cultural component…
