Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion.

#people #music #cultures #ages
Many people think that
music
 can make people from different cultural and age groups close together. I agree with
this
 idea,
although
music
 in some cases cannot cause people friendly to each other. There are some types of
music
 that tear us apart, let alone bring people closer together. People at different ages, often have different tastes of
music
. It is difficult to bring older people closer to young people with some modern songs that appeals to old people to be a meaningless variety of ‘boy meets girl’.
Also
,
music
 with offensive words of age, race or sexual discriminations can create cultural, ethnic and political conflicts.
However
, I think that
music
 can bond people around the world, crossing cultural barriers and age gaps.
Firstly
,
Accept space
,
the
music
 is composed to express artist’s experiences of happiness or sadness that listeners tend to connect emotionally to their own and make connections and sang in less common languages that could attract the public attention. Public audiences from different languages and cultures left comments that show their mutual feeling and opinion about the
music
.
Furthermore
, many people are connected and share their opinion on social issues when they listen to
music
 that inspire social changes
such
 as equity or against discriminations. In conclusion,
music
 can bring people together no matter what we are. Of course, it is not true in all cases, but I think that
music
 is a good way to create a warm friendship between people of different cultures and ages.
