1. I believe that the state of the human body is not affected by music although enjoyable. The only thing music can do to the human body is give an individule a headache, give one the urge to dance, or put someone in a mental state of happiness, dejection, or anger.
2. If the mind has an apitite for a certain genre of music then the individule will feed it with that kind of melody with the main perpose of keeping the mind in "greater health". Its just like craving something to eat, when your body needs food you feed it to stay healthy. In some instances music can affect the mind for the greater good, for an example symphonic music is known to calm and help people concentrate on their work.
3. I believe that music can harm the soul, because the same for any other type of media, who ever intakes what is being put out there will be influenced by it and it will change a persons individuality. Music depending on the genre will influence a person to make wrong decisions after hearing that certain genre, for an example somebody litening to a rap song that mainly talks about drugs will probably want to try it. Or if another person is listening to an artist who sings down apon a minority, the person may want to act that out.
4.Well sence I dont realy think that music affects you from a physical point of view then I would yhave to say that music can only nurish an individual mentally.
