Term Extension Upon reflecting on the fact that my major is finance, I feel that a proper metaphor for finance is a concrete foundation. Although it may sound strange, it may become more clear when you consider that finance deals directly with the foundation of an business: money. It is common knowledge that in order to properly construct any building, a strong foundation on which the building will sit on needs to be set first. Without a structurally sound foundation, it is possible that the building could collapse on itself. This is why it is always important that construction workers build a strong foundation in order to ensure a strong building. In any type of business, money or finances are what help a business continue to operate. It is in this sense money can be considered the foundation of a business. Like construction workers, it is the job of financial advisers and accountants to make sure that a business' finances are being properly utilized and invested in order to make a profitable return. This is why it is important for any business to have a strong finance department, just as a building needs a strong foundation.

If you looked up the word music in the dictionary, you likely read that it was sounds combined to create form as a means of expression. However, music is not something I feel can be that easily defined nor has a single definition. Music can be a means through which we learn about the history of our world by listening to pieces from the different periods of music (Classical, Baroque, etc.). More prominently, it is also a language that allows to convey emotions and feelings in a way that can be far more powerful than any written or spoken text. This alone separates music from all other forms of creative expression. Furthermore, I believe even if you studied music for the entirety of your life, you still would never be able to encompass it into a dictionary definition. Music is not only a form of expression as we are taught to think of it as, but music is also the key to truly understanding humanity and even ourselves.
