Music has been important to human civilization for hundreds of years. People have used music to benefit themselves in many positive ways. As a result, this has helped transcend language barriers between different cultures. This gave people a more common understanding of each other. Music communicates with almost everyone in one way or another. As someone who has listened to many forms of music, I think I understand why music should be a part of everyone's life: music works well as a bonding tool to make new friends, it stimulates the creative process in people and is the perfect way to help reduce stress in people's lives. The first reason why music should be a part of everyone's life is that it works well as a bonding tool to make new friends. From the days when people gathered in music halls to listen to a performance of Beethoven. In today's age where people log on to YouTube to listen to live music on their computers and share their opinions. Music has always existed to help people forge this social barrier that usually constitutes a divide that divides them. Shared music acts as a bridge to bring people together, allowing for more social connections, breaking down the social and racial barriers that normally divide. I come from a generation that helped make mainstream rap music known. Personally, I don't like this type of music very much. However, I believe it went a long way in uniting the three races: Whites, Blacks and Hispanics with a common understanding by listening to the same type of music. A few years ago, I worked in a casual office with about ten other people. Most of the other employees were white, but a few were African-American. The difference...... middle of paper ...... greater emphasis on music will enrich people's lives to have a more exciting and sustainable life. Without good music, life would be a gray and dull existence, devoid of passion and excitement. Personally, I would miss a life without the joys of musical notes that surround my daily life. As the holidays approach, I would miss that feeling of joy when gathering with family and friends if the iconic music that normally accompanies the holidays suddenly disappeared. Music is valuable to everyone in various ways. For me, music is an enriching experience to maintain my mental health while keeping a positive and happy outlook on life and I believe everyone should find some peace and joy in the sounds of music.
