▶ Your Answer :
There are people who argue that traditional music of a country is more important than the international music. There are also many other people who insist the opposite arguments. I, however, can agree with neither of these arguments, because I do not think whether the music is traditional or international matters if it is useful to express in expressing our feelings or to encourage provide us encouragement to finish difficult tasks.
We need music both when we are happy and sad since it helps us to express the our feelings. feeling. Through music we can share our feelings, either happiness or sadness, with others. By sharing our feelings with others, we can magnify the happiness and lessen the sadness.
Moreover, music gives us power to conduct grueling tasks a lot more easily and efficiently. For example, soldiers always sing songs when they march for a long time, since the songs helps them to forget their tiredness. Farmers or fishermen also sing songs when they work for the similar reason. By singing songs, people can forget about the difficulties of their works so they can finish their tasks more easily and efficiently.
If the reasons why we need music are to share our feelings with others and to be encouraged when we are doing hard works, in this perspective, which music is more important, traditional or international music? I do think it does not matter, as I mentioned above. If people in a country think or feel that traditional music is better to express their feelings than the other, the former is more important than the latter, and vice versa.
To sum up, since we need music to express our feelings and share them with others, and to conduct grueling works more easily and efficiently, the importance of music should be decided on the basis of whether it is good or bad for fulfill fulfilling its reason for existence, rather than on the basis of its originality.
