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.

Singing has always been a key distinguisher of culture, but many believe that it can

also

bridge cultural gaps and differences in age. Though I think some people overstate the impact of tune levelling the differences between generations, I strongly believe that it brings people of different cultures together by expressing universal sentiments. There are some types of

music

that tear us apart, let alone bring people closer together. People at different

For instance

such

as pop, hip-hop, rap, or rock as well as the celebrities

such

as Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran or Justin Bieber.

Otherwise

such

as the Beatles, Celine Dion, Michael Jackson.

In contrast

although

music

Suggestion

the music

does little to alleviate generational barriers, it does help cultures relate through universal, human perspectives. What I mean by

this

is that even though people may not understand another culture they can still understand the messages of the

music

. One great example of

this

is the

music

of Bob Marley. Bob Marley is from a small Caribbean country called Jamaica, a country whose culture has become influential around the world.

This

is because he expressed universal feelings of love, empathy, and positivity against the backdrop of a nation experiencing political and economic upheaval. His resilience against

this

pulses through his infectious

music

and has translated across cultural divides. An Asian person, who might not have any

experience with different races or cultures, can still identify with Bob Marley and enjoy his

music

.

This

connection based entirely on

music

brings together people of disparate cultures through an emotional and intellectual bonding on common issues. In conclusion, even though it seems clear that there is a huge gap between age groups and people will not fully understand other cultures, it is indisputable that singing can send to people some meaningful messages in life. I am of the opinion that singing can unify every civilization or every Freemasonry with each other. We should preserve our traditional musical cultures so that we can share them to international people in the world.
