Some people think that music plays an important role in society. Others think it is simply a form of entertainment. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Sound as a

form

of art is a soothing experience. For many,

this

form

of art is considered quintessential,

whereas

others simply discard it as a mere tool for leisure. In

this

essay, each of these views will be discussed and I will give my opinion as to why I fancy the former notion. On the one hand, there are people who believe that

music

is an essential aspect of our society, as it can be used to reach everyone irrespective of their caste, colour, or creed.

Furthermore

, it is global and

hence

it is not affected by national borders.

As a result

, many songs have been used to spread important social messages. Namely, Wavin Flag by K'Naan was a song meant to depict the struggles for freedom.

Similarly

, Rasputin by Boney was used by its listeners as an act of defiance towards the Soviet Union. These instances and many others prove why

this

is considered important in society.

On the other hand

, other people

view

music

as nothing more than a

form

of entertainment.

This

might be

due to

the fact that most of them only consider these tunes in regard to their lives and not as a whole, for the community. For many, these are just melodies which play in the background

while

they are performing various tasks.

For instance

, it is played in the background at pubs

while

the attendants converse with each other. For others, attending concerts in their leisurely time is a good distraction and because of

this

, they might just

view

this

as simply a

form

of entertainment. In my

view

,

music

has had an impact on society, unlike any other art

form

. It is everywhere.

For example

, surgeons use classical tunes

while

operating on the patient for better focus. In conclusion, both parties may have their reasons to

view

music

as culturally significant or just pure entertainment.

However

, I agree that

music

plays an important role in culture as its influence is unparalleled.
