Some people think that music has an important role in society while others believe that it is only a form of entertainment. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

It is undeniable that

music

has always had an impact on the way people entertain themselves.

However

, in my view,

music

music

is linked to individual cultures is not sensible. Supporters argue that each culture has unique pieces of

music

which are strongly attributed to their national identities. Dagestan Republic – a county in Russian Federation –

for example

, is widely known for its special

music

such

as wedding parties or larger-scale government holidays, are unimaginable without

music

is an inseparable element of their culture rather than just a way of entertainment. In conclusion,

music

is thought by some to have only entertaining purpose with helping people release tension, I personally believe that there is a much wider and more important value that it represents, which is cultural .
