 * MID-SEMESTER ASSIGNMENT**

Your team/group should listen attentively to the music/song and decode, deconstruct, interpret and attempt to find the following meanings that can be 'read' from the song: 1. The social meaning 2. The political meaning 3. The educational meaning

The paper must present a background of the music and any relevant information about the song. The paper should be type-written with New Time Roman 12 Fonts, 1.5 line spacing and double paragraphing where appropriate. Your reports should **not** the use wikipedia and dictionaries in defining concepts.

Each group/team has 5-10 minutes to present their work to the class

The report fetches 25 percentage points. A good report should include appropriate examples to illustrate your points. Good argumentation and grammar are considered and highly favoured and increases the chances of earning a high score; spelling errors would draw a deduction in points.

Note that plagiarism is an academic crime which frowned on in the Institute. Cutting and pasting from the Intenet or lifting ideas from any literature without the appropriate acknowledge is criminal and punishable. The necessary sanctions would be applied. Any material sourced from the net or from any book should/must be indicated as such. Your paper should have a reference page with all the various sources indicated in alphabetical order.

All reports must be handed to the Class Rep. before the set deadline. The lecturer would not tolerate any late hand-ins.

**Essence of Listening**
 * If speaking is silver, then listening is gold. - Turkish Proverb

Ralph Nichols
 * The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.

James Nathan Miller
 * There is no such thing as a worthless conversation, provided you know what to listen for. And questions are the breath of life for a conversation.

Oliver Wendell Holmes
 * It is the province of knowledge to speak And it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.

Robert C. Murphy
 * To be listened to is, generally speaking, a nearly unique experience for most people. It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear. Man clamors for the freedom to express himself and for knowing that he counts. But once offered these conditions, he becomes frigthened.

**SELF-AWARENESS** Sydney J. Harris
 * It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others.

C.G. Jung
 * “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”
