World of Music

Yes, we are living in the world of music. Everyday, we listen to different kind and types of music and we think that it is very nice and soothing. True, music can be soothing and take our stress away, but is music as innocent as we think it is?

People think music as a form of entertainment, enjoyment or relaxation. I, too agree with this, but I think that music is not as innocent as it seems. Why do I say this?

In this modern world, we are often influenced by people around us. For example, if everyone is doing bad things, you would eventually join them. It is indeed very hard to resist being influenced by things around us, whether we know it or not.

Sometimes, not consciously, even when we don't realise it, we are influenced by the media and others. So this brings us back to the current topic. What has music to do with this then?

Music is both good and bad. The good side being able to let the person relax, whereas the bad side being to influence people. We may not know it, but if we keep listening to music that promotes evil, bad and cruel things, we will slowly, slowly be influenced to be the same.

The same thing applies to computer games. If we play brutal games which stab each other to death, cutting and ripping off organs etc, we will, in the long run, be affected by this. " Trash in " " Trash Out" Once we see people doing something, we will follow.

Hence, in conclusion, I feel that music is not totally bad, but not totally good too. I'm not asking you not to listen to music anymore, but warning you to the dangers that the media and others hold. We must be careful, lest we get influenced and affected too !
