MUSIC FOR THE BETTER WORLD

                Who doesn’t know music? Music is one of the most important and powerful things in our life. Music is a kind of art that can be played and enjoyed by everyone. Music is composed in such a way consisting of rhyme, song, and harmony. Types of music in this world are numerous and various, some of them are jazz, blues, country, pop, and rock. Music made our life colorful. Without music, our life would be empty.  In general, music has a function to entertain. As the time goes by, we can learn that music has another function instead of entertainment. Somehow, music has an ability to adjust our mood. It shows that music has a big influence in our life. In my point of view, music has a potentials to help make the world better because of  3 reasons : music increase our intelligences, music gives strength and music bring peace.
            First, music increase our intelligences. Have you ever study while listen music? Scientist believe that music influence our brain as it increases our creativity and facilitates our learning process. As we know, music has positive impact toward right-brain which triggers the increasing creativity and skill. This ability is used to solve problems and make a decision. The increase in creativity may facilitate our learning process, for an example when we memorize alphabet by using a song. This method is proven to be an effective way to stimulate child in learning and memorizing. Another example, music can help us in our work. When we are working, we can complete our tasks more effectively with music. Actually it depends on type and goals of our work. If we forced to deal with some daily routine procedures connected with our job, then we want to make it as fast as possible. The most suitable to listen is music with fast rhythm. If we want to make some thoughtful and accurate work, we can listen deep and slow electronic music. In both cases music on background, helps to keep our concentration. The increase of our intelligences would encourage individual skill, make everybody more confident and stand out for themselves.
            Second, music gives strength. Music gives us the strength we need to push forward, to achieve our goals, and to believe that we have the power to change the fate of our world. There are so many inspirational songs like “When You Believe” from Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston. It says “Who knows what miracles you can achieve. When you believe somehow you will” It means that we have to fight for what we wanted. If we believe with our ability somehow we can achieve our dream. Another song called “Believe” from Justin Bieber says “It didn’t matter how many times I got knocked on the floor” and “Cause everything start from something”. It means that our dreams start from something that we fought for. Journey to achieve our dream won’t be easy.  If  we failed, try and try again.  It doesn’t matter how many times we failed because a failure is a start to be a winner. We can’t give up easily with our dream. That is how music gave us strength to achieve our dream.
           

Third, music brings peace. Music allow us to make sense of things. It enable us to express our self through the emotions that we are feeling. Through music, we are able to observe the world in a different light, which can be either negative or positive, depending our mood. Even if  we are depressed, music can bring a spirit from the notes and the lyrics. Music has an ability to combat depression as music notes can reduce the level of mental depression. Flat notes can stimulate brain resulting in calm feeling triggering sleepiness. That is why listening slow music makes us easy to seep. Furthermore, music can be very strongly linked to our emotions. Have you ever experienced the power of music to stir up emotional memories from our past? Actually, everyone can feel their past when they listen to their childhood song. It means that music can trigger emotional memories of peace, which in turn affected our mind and body. However, music by its own nature has specific qualities that can impose emotions in some predictable way. That is why we have to be aware of the soundtrack playing in the background of our life and see if we can create the ability to recall our emotions with scientific accuracy. That is why music bring peace in our life. Then we dare to say that music can and will positively affect peace in the world.

            In conclusion, music is not only to entertain, but also to increase our intelligences, gives strength and bring peace in our life. Music has the ability to influence our feelings and bring a motivation to our life. It depends on what kind of music that we want to listen. If we like to listen a good music with soft and cheerful beat, I believe it will positively affect for a better world. That is the ability of music that would help make the world better.
