William James addressed the last 3 lectures in Talks to Teachers on Psychology and to Students on Some of Life's Ideals (1899/1958) specifically to students. The first of these lectures, “The Gospel of Relaxation,” encouraged students to be both relaxed and active. The second, “On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings,” promoted awareness of and empathy for the diversity of individual human interest. The last lecture, “What Makes Life Significant,” argued that neither ideals nor passion alone gave life meaning but that the 2 in confluence yield significance. In all, James shared insights suggesting how students might improve their lives.

The Difference

One of the notable changes in English literature during the eighteenth century is a growth in altruism. It is a change which involves not only a breaking down of the old aristocratic indifference to the lower classes of society during the Restoration, but the establishment of a new ethical theory; literature displayed a broader human interest and assigned a new reason for its sympathy. It is usually assumed that the difference is due principally to the influx of French philosophy. This assumption at least minimizes the importance of a development which had taken place in the literature of England itself before the general interest in Rousseau. (The change, especially in poetry, is to be traced largely, I think, to the Characteristics (1711) of Lord Shaftesbury, whose importance as a literary influence in England has never been duly recognized. It has long since been established that his system of philosophy constitutes a turning-point in the history of pure speculation, especially in ethics; it has more recently been shown also that he is responsible for many of the moral ideas which inform the popular literature of Germany from Haller to Herder. But his influence upon the popular writers of his own country has received scant notice.

Lagu Separuh Aku karya band Noah yang dirilis pada September 2012 secara singkat populer di masyarakat. Ini semata-mata bukan hanya terletak pada kekuatan lagu, melainkan adanya keterkaitan berbagai elemen pendukungnya. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif analitik, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kekuatan-kekuatan lagu pop dan hal-hal lain di balik kecepatan laju popularitasnya. Dalam membedah permasalahan ini digunakan beberapa teori/ konsep, yakni dari Adorno tentang klasifikasi musik ringan, dominasi industri budaya dan konsumsi musik pop, Frith tentang lirik lagu bukan puitis, serta Burton tentang kekuatan media. Berdasarkan konsep-konsep tersebut didapatkan sejumlah hasil penelitian. Musik pop yang termasuk kedalam klasifikasi musik ringan yang didukung penciptaan lirik sederhana dengan mudah diterima oleh semua lapisan masyarakat, terlebih lagi oleh kaum pekerja yang bekerja dibawah tekanan waktu dan target perusahaan. Kemudian melalui kekuatan makna lirik yang terkondisikan dengan keadaan psikologis pendengar timbul suatu ekspresi musik, misalnya lewat nyanyian sebagai upaya penghiburan atas apa yang dialami penikmat. Suatu ekspresi tersebut tanpa mereka sadari ikut andil dalam upaya penyebaran lagu ke telinga konsumen lain. Di sisi yang sama peningkatan popularitas lagu juga dapat dibentuk melalui pemberitaan media, baik pemberitaan tentang lagu maupun hal-hal lain, misalnya melalui pemeberitaan kasus Ariel Noah, hal ini disebut dengan konsep aspek human interest. Melalui penelitian ini didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa salah satu pencapaian popularitas sebuah lagu/musik pop dapat dilihat dari kekuatan bentuk dan isi lagu serta dukungan dari berbagai media.
