Music
 plays a very important role all over the world. While some people claim that
music
 only benefits individuals and communities, others doubt whether
music
 has several drawbacks to both. In my opinion, I think that
music
 has both advantages as well as disadvantages and it depends on certain circumstances. I In the
first
 place, it is undeniable that songs have many positive effects on humankind.
Music
 is one of the most favourable entertainments in every country.
Music
 helps people not only to relax after working hard but
also
 to refresh and clear their minds when they feel tired and stressed.
In addition
 to
this
, scientists believe that
music
 brings benefits to human intellect.
For instance
, some researches prove that the brain of children who listen to classical
music
 frequently tends to develop faster than others at the same age.
Nevertheless
, hardly could people be beneficial from
music
 if they still play some negative kinds. These kinds of
music
 are the catalysts for noise pollution, which is very harmful to human beings. In the
second
 place, it is believed that societies are taking advantage of
music
 in many ways. To specify gives us great opportunities to organize social events,
such
 as concerts or singing shows on television. By dint of that, it will inspire and strengthen the sense of community and nationality in each citizen.
Moreover
,
music
also
 enriches the culture of the nation and is even perceived as the speech of the country. In conclusion,
music
 should be encouraged and developed in every country because of its enormous benefits.
