The Impact of Music on Society

"Music gives souls to the universe, gives wings to the heart, jumps to imagination, brings life to everything." - Plato. Deep memories are often associated with listening to music, many of which are latent, or even unconscious at a later date. Then at that moment the influence of music on life suddenly appeared. Since the beginning of civilization, music is indispensable to society and directly shapes today's lives and people's expressive ways.

Music influences not only the culture but also culture has a big influence on music. Since music often expresses thoughts and emotions of society as a whole at a specific time, as social events and thoughts change, music at that time also changes to accommodate what is happening in the world. During the Vietnam War, a lot of pop music was created to promote peace and stop war. Musicians want to include social concepts of that era, which are still completed in modern music, in their music.

One of the best examples of the influence of music on culture is music festival such as Woodstock. The popularity of music at the time made it one of the biggest gatherings of young people in American history. Initially, all music festivals at the time should have worried about peace, but most of these events ended in ruins and ended the music of the 1960s. In the 1960s music seemed to have had a big impact on society, but in the 1960s music itself led to the collapse of culture. The shift of the new music form to the 1970s shows a strong opposition to music culture (47)

Music stimulates political and social activities; it is a platform for individuals to change society. Throughout history, music has been used to create social influence. The rapidly growing Russian composer Dmitry Shostakovich in the 20th century despised the Stalinist regime and pretended to pretend to be his anti-Stalin ideal behind a false patriotic work. According to the National Podcast Radio, it states as follows. "Millions of Soviet citizens were forcibly migrated, banished, or completely killed at the peak of purification by Stalinists in 1937. Metaphysical and struggle Shostakovich is the complete music by his fifth Symphony From the era of exile, I call it "reaction to my critics". If you listen to the work without reading the memo, does Shostakov want to please colleagues, or is obvious patriotism strong against the love of his country?
