Question

two minute speech on culture and music

Answer 1

                 about culture
Culture comprises of all the good ways of living of people in a civilization.  Culture consists of the beliefs, customs, traditions, ethical and moral values of groups of persons.  People with similar culture live together in general.  People of a region have a culture that evolves over many decades.

       Culture also means various performing arts like dance, instrumental music, singing, painting, drama, creating writing, craft making, debating, elocution and many more.  These are often characteristic of a civilization.
Culture of a person means the way a person speaks, behaves, responds to various incidents and the conduct of the person including his manners.  Culture has a very important impact on the growth of a person or a society.  When there is no culture, people in the society do not have a common understanding of what is good and what is not good.

   Our culture tells us what practices, if we follow, will enable us to live better in our region.  Nowadays, the fast growing India has adopted several cultures and has forgotten many of its traditions and cultures.  The olden traditions and value systems are being forgotten and new values systems are coming in from all parts of the world.  This may be good for some Indians. But respecting one's own culture and upholding is be our responsibility.

   The culture is changing from village and small town living style to city and apartment in micro families, shopping malls, pubs, cinemas, entertainment etc.

We often take for granted the fact that music is all around us no matter what kind you listen to. You listen to music in your car, in the mall while you are shopping, in the shower, on television and at parties. Music is a key component in any kind of culture; it is a way to express the ideas and beliefs of that culture. Music has been a powerful force throughout history. Its power has affected all aspects of people's lives. The ideas and attitudes people have toward their society can easily be seen in their music. Expression in music comes in every emotion you can think of sad, happy, mellow, anger, peaceful and many others. Music, especially in today's society, brings about certain ways of life or attitudes about life. I often wonder what the next generation has to offer to the wonderful world of music. In the Fifties it was do-wop and swing music, America had its first taste of "Rock and Roll in this era of happy times. People's lives were safe and happy and this do-wop bee-bop music reflected the way people's attitudes were about life. In the Sixties "Rock and Roll made its collision with mainstream American culture and people like the Beetles and Elvis Presley became the forefathers for a huge cultural gateway. The era of peace love and happiness was beginning and so once again the music reflected this way of thinking, acting and feeling. The Beetles and Elvis were the first real artists to ma
