Exclusion from school and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
The exclusion of children from school, either on a fixed-term or a permanent basis, is a
disciplinary tool used in primary and secondary schools throughout the United Kingdom.
Students with special educational needs (SEN) are more likely to be permanently
excluded than pupils without SEN (Department for Children, Schools and Families
2009). In this review paper, I will examine the role of underlying behavioural difficulties
in school exclusion and specifically explore the potential role of ADHD in disruptive
behaviours. Finally, with a view to initiating a discussion that emphasizes early
recognition and proactive management of the causes of disruptive behaviour, I will use
the evidence from this review to identify areas for further consideration. The overarching
intent of this effort is to encourage continued debate among all stakeholders in
this important issue that impacts childrenâs potential and incurs a significant societal cost.peer-reviewe
Is music conscious? The argument from motion, and other considerations
Music is often described in anthropomorphic terms. This paper suggests that if we think about music in certain ways we could think of it as conscious. Motional characteristics give music the impression of being alive, but musical motion is conventionally taken as metaphorical. The first part of this paper argues that metaphor may not be the exclusive means of understanding musical motion â there could also be literal ways. Discussing kinds of consciousness, particularly âaccess consciousnessâ (Block 1995), the second part proposes ways in which music could (hypothetically) be conscious. The conclusion states that a greater understanding of the interactions of âphenomenal consciousnessâ and âaccess consciousnessâ is important in conceptualizing non-human consciousnesses, such as music might be conceived to be
Wackenroder and the Doctrine of the Soul
Advances a novel theory of how paradoxes evident in Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder's essay on instrumental music evoke specific religious dichotomies and that these in turn propose an aesthetic interpretation of autonomous instrumental music concordant with the importance attached to religion in early German Romantic thought
