Does music divide or unite People?

Cultures around the world since the beginning of time have


appreciated, enjoyed, and incorporated some form of music in their
everyday lives. However, one man's music can often be another
man's noise, and vice versa.
Music in some ways divide people. Arguments on the internet such
as: Lil Wayne or Lil John? 5 Seconds of Summer or One Direction?
Eminem or Drake? All of these things cause conflict on whatever
scale between friends, family, strangers ad acquaintances alike.
Wherever music is there will always be disagreements thats the
nature of it, this is because wherever music is there will be people
too and people will always have different opinions. It is not music
that divides people but the judgment surrounding it.
So if it divides us, it can surely unite Music unites people across
the globe. It brings people together. For example the song Wavin
Flag by a Somalia-Canadian artist Knaan wrote this song for
Somalia and aspirations of its people for freedom. This song unifies
lots of people all around the world in term of freedom and love for
their country. As an old famous singer Stevie Wonder said Music is a
world within itself, with a language we all understand.
So does it unite us or divide us? My answer to the question is that it
does both. Because with music you can play the moments, pause
the memories, stop the pain and rewind the happiness.
