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?

A certain group of people

of the opinion that
music
is a better way of integrating diverse cultures and different age groups. Overall, I would
opined
Suggestion

that while
this
is true, we must bear in mind the demerits of
this
view.
Firstly
, opponents of
such
a view believe that
majority
Suggestion
the majority
of songs that youngsters are listening to today are full of obscene pictures and videos which is unpleasant for them.
For example
, it is a common knowledge in Nigeria homes for children not to listen to songs by Rihanna (an American musician)
bacause
for the reason that; on account of

of nudity she displayed in her videos.
This
has created a barrier to songs from the United State of America and Nigerians are even conscious of Americans. More

Over
, certain tracks can generate hatred for some selected few. Take for an instance, some traditional singers in a bid to make public awareness about a pressing issue, are often in the habit of directly or indirectly antagonizing authorities.
This
reminds me of a popular Nigeria musician called

against some cultures or age groups can result in war.
On the other hand
,
music
has a way of uniting people of different background and ages through organized party, concerts or travelling to another country to participate in
music
festivals. A yearly musical event is normally held in Israel and the participants included people from the middle East, Americans, Africans and majority Asians. Through songs they listened to, it has changed some of their views about Israel. Some now see that Israel citizens are
peaceful
Suggestion
more peaceful
rather than being cruel because of wars they experience yearly. It is worthy of note that when properly channelled,
music
can even bring an end to wars that we are experiencing in different parts of the world. In conclusion, I would
opined
Suggestion
opine
that on balance, while
music
can unite nations and different age category, it can
also
result in disunity if it is not monitored. I
however
believe that the benefits of
this
outweigh the drawbacks.
