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?
In the modern world, we can see that there are so many benefits which are brought about by different kinds of
music
. Music
is not only heard for relaxation or to heal wounds, but also
acts as a perceptual bridge that removes any boundary among communities, playing a crucial role in our lives and eliminating differences among various cultures
and generations. I, like many other people
, feel this
way for the following reasons.
It is true that music
is an essential part of human life as it has the power to evoke emotions, connect people
and cultures
, and even bring positive changes to individuals. Each song is written by a musician with a soul and a heart to help people
who listen to that song or sing it understand each other better. While
traditional music
holds cultural significance, international music
has become popular worldwide and has a massive fan following. It has become a medium to bridge the gap between different cultures
and countries. Nowadays, K-pop is one of the most famous types of music
. Massive fans of K-pop follow worldwide and they introduce culture, and language to many people
. Besides
, US/UK music
makes a deep impression on plenty of people
. In African societies, traditional music
is used to communicate messages to the community, such
as the arrival of visitors or the initiation of young people
into adulthood. We can't deny the fact that music
is a treasure of mankind. In some settings, students can perform musically and sing alongside others, forging bonds of friendship and intimacy with individuals of all ages. Another illustration is the interaction between the young and old during festivals or other social gatherings where traditional music
is played. At those gatherings, different generations can listen to traditional music
together or exchange tales about their ancestors' cultures
, promoting intergenerational understanding. and form bonds with one another.
In conclusion, music
, as a universally accepted and supreme art form, enriches our lives and strengthens the connections between us, regardless of our backgrounds, culture and age. Music
is also
always a thematic topic for any conservation where everyone can show their feelings, stories, and their dreams, regardless of age, religion, or language.Submitted by jakelong16091994 on
