Music
can stimulate our minds and bodies and also
offer some temporary relief from mental agony and sadness. Music
probably can do many other things, but it can not bring people
of different cultures
and ages
together. And

essay will explain why we can not rely on music
to accomplish such
a difficult task.
Music
has some elements and qualities to bring some like-minded people
within, not outside of a certain culture
, country or nation closer together in a common bond because the tone and tune of that music
sound so familiar to them. Many music
lovers even suggest that music
is the food for our soul, regardless of our age. True that may be, but when we are pinning our hopes on music

culture
is a very difficult subject to understand and so is “human nature”.
Culture
is not only about what we like to listen to, or what we do not for some temporary pleasure or gratification. Rather, culture
, among other things, very predominantly is also
about “how we are so dissimilar to each other”, and it is essentially this
“wish” or “sentiment” that helps us cling to our own ways of life, no matter how “peculiar” or “weird” that may look to other cultures
. It is because of this
strong “sentiment” that even though,
almost all the countries in the continent of South America essentially speak the same language or practice the same religion, they are not merged into only one country. The same applies to different Remove the comma

ages
as well, and that is
why we see, more often than not, that while

, an older person likes a more traditional or classic type of music

is important for our life, but it is not a good way to bring people
of different cultures
or ages
together.Submitted by dentdent4 on
