In music, 'Sampling' refers to the reuse of a portion (or 'sample') of an audio recording in a different recording. Samples may contain elements such as rhythm, melody, speech, or sound effects. A sample may be only a fragment of audio, or it may be a longer portion of music, such as a continuous drum beat or full melody.

Under current sampling laws, artists are generally required to get permission from the copyright holder of the original recording (generally the record label) and the copyright holder of the original composition (generally songwriters or their publishers).

The narrative of “making things personal” refers to when individuals internalize challenges, failures, or criticism as part of their personal story.

The federalisation of the European Union (EU) refers to the political movement seeking to move the EU from a union of sovereign states towards an EU which is a single, unified federal state.

In a fully federalized EU, member states would share power with a strong central government, much like how individual states in the US or India operate under their respective federal governments.
