 Some people think that music plays an important role in society. Others believe that it is simply a form of entertainment.  Give your opinion?

Indubitably, music is beautiful art form realized by human race. However, there are two contrasting views where a section of society vehemently deems that music is indispensable  part of our living while the other emphasizes that it is not more than a pleasure source. Nonetheless, in my contention, music is both a contributing factor in knitting a fragmented society into a single unit and a source of recreational activity for millennial.

Apparently, music holds wide range of constructive benefits for the welfare of society. Firstly, not only it prove to be a binding agent for the cultures of society at an unprecedented scale ,but also a platform for various down trodden sects to bring out their talents at international levels. Secondly, unlike other sectors, music is independent art form without a language barrier. To corroborate, a mere regional south Indian song ‘Kolaveri di’ proved to be a music sensation across the globe as people loved its tune. Hence, it fosters unity in diversity. 

Nevertheless, music holds paramount significance in an entertainment industry. Chiefly, if listen as a medical therapy, the sensations it holds for calming and rejuvenating the body and mind are second to none. Furthermore, does it make the college and university students to groove together on distinct tunes? Certainly yes as they feel lively and participate in various events meant for them. To vindicate, according to BBC Youth, it is revealed that at this young age approx 20% students chose music as their careers in future.  

To recapitulate, although music is sought to be an important aspect for the growth of society as a whole yet it plays for the entertainment of commoners.
