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?
As the number of people who listen to music is increasing due to the development of the music industry, the music’s roles are getting bigger and diversified. Some deem that music is able to integrate people from different backgrounds and generation. I totally agree with this statement.
First of all, it seems that people who like listening to a certain music or genres can feel a sense of bond with people who like them. This specific area is K-pop. These days K-pop music has made a great hit and people over the world listen to it. Although the listeners were born in different countries and have a variety of cultures, they can feel same identity with them which is K-pop fans. Therefore they try to have more communications with other K-pop fans regardless of their cultures or backgrounds. They are able to remove cultural barriers or hurdles between them thanks to the music with which they are integrated.
On top of that, music can make a harmony between various generations. There are some music that is loved by all generations. This allows people in different ages to have a sense of bond with them. Take an example of legendary pop song, ‘A Train For South Side.(famous korean song)’ Even though this pop song was released about 70 years ago, young generations still know this music well. When people have their family meeting that from grandparents to grandchildren join they are likely to sing this song together. With this song they can build more friendly and closer relationships all together.
In conclusion, I would say that music has a great power to associate people even if they have different backgrounds.(다시보니 틀린 표현이네요 to associate with people from different backgrounds라고 하면 맞을까요?) People would feel like they are belonged to a certain group, which leads to building a stronger bond with each other. Therefore I think that we need to make a use of music for solving conflicts and achieving a harmony with various people in the world.
