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?
It is often said that
music
is the best way to promote cohesion among people
of diverse cultures
and age groups. In my opinion, I totally agree with this
point of view.
To begin
with, the reason why music
can expel the barriers between different nations and cultures
is because it is a source of cultural understanding. Through lyrics and melodies, music
promotes communication, broadens our outlook on the world’s peoples, and helps us understand the world’s cultures
and their diversities. Above all
, it is a way of breaking down prejudices which isolate people
from one another, affording opportunities for intercultural understanding. There are some songs that represent the ideas mentioned above, such
as We Are All Alike written by Hap Palmer, and Under One Sky by Ruth Pelham, to name just a few.
In addition
, music
can bond people
of different ages. It can be explained by the fact that music
does not need interpretation to be enjoyed and understood as it touches our hearts and resonates in our minds. No matter what language we speak or understand, we appreciate the melody and depth of music
which is why people
of all ages can sit together and enjoy the same music
. For example
, singing with toddlers creates a sort of communication between parents and children that helps build the foundation for effective interaction later in life.
In conclusion, not only can music
foster inclusion among cultures
by delivering messages through its melody, but also
build a strong connection between adults and young children.Submitted by phamduchien711 on
