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.

Many people believe that
music
can connect people from diverse cultures and generations together. I totally agree because people can feel closer by enjoying
music
together and it is a medium that helps people understand each other better. The main reason why I agree is because enjoying
music
allows different types of people to bond.
This
is because people from different cultures and ages can enjoy listening to similar genres of
music
together and through
this
fun shared experience they can feel closer.
For instance
, at New Year large groups of people, of different cultures and ages, can count down the New Year and sing Auld Lang Syne together, and
this
can be a great bonding experience and break down barriers between people. After singing it is common to see people of different ages and nationalities hugging each other and genuinely wishing each other well-being and prosperity in the New Year.
Consequently
, it’s clearly evident, at
this
time, that people feel closer and more connected despite differences. I
also
believe that
music
can increase the understanding between different cultures and generations.
This
is because when a person listens to the preferred
music
genre of another group of people they can know more about that group of people.
For instance
, when I listened to the famous Australian
folksong
Suggestion
folk song
called Waltzing Matilda, I was able to understand Australian culture so much more.
Moreover
, I could understand the struggles that previous generations faced in Australia.
This
increased my understanding of Australians and older generations and made me emphasise
with
Suggestion
to
them, and understand why they behave in certain ways.
Consequently
,
this
increased my ability to bond with them. In conclusion, I completely believe that
music
can bring different types of people closer together.
This
is because fun shared experiences lead to bonding and increased understanding of
others leading

others, leading
to empathy and an increased ability to bond.
Therefore
, I believe
music
should be used more as a way to break down barriers amongst different types of people.
