It is PV forum not bollywood forum!

Actually i think that poetry or music can be effective to encourage someone who suffers or to convey a message of hope b/c this is a way to tell ur feelings to others.If ur poetry or music can touch someone's hearth.It can encourage him/her to have will power to fight for his/her right and to not let themselves down just b/c he/she suffered something.

Poetry and music is definitely effective as it convey messages which can strongly influence one's actions. We have seen many advertisements and also propaganda using music and/or poetry while delivering their messages as it taps human's various emotions and can influence them to act based on the music/poetry delivered. This is evident where music was used as a propaganda in World War 1 and Verdi's opera Nabucco became the Italian's song of liberation. Music and poetry conveys hope for betterment and the examples are shown above. It gives people the courage to fight for their rights and also the faith and determination needed to stir that hope they have.

but at the same time.. something which has the power to influence one in a positive way can also be detrimental if the wrong message is conveyed in the music/poetry..

P.S. just to help, when you write your argument, make sure you include both perspective that it does help but also can cause damage... that makes an excellent argument..😊

@ gurunthebest

Here is my suggestion for Your argumentative essay:

Poetry not only influences people but can also instruct them to correct their behaviour toward others and teach basic moral values in their relations. Moreover, a poem, if so effective in conveying messages to us can even inspire us to become better and develop love, respect, humanity and appreciate life if we are on the wrong path. Take Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" for example:

"...If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!"

Also, both poetry and music are excellent therapy for any illness or any kind of bad mood. What provides better comfort to the deaf than poetry? Rhymes of a poem can be like a music to their suffering souls, while music, like a magic wand, fills the heart of the blind, and even those who are physically disabled feel the rhythm in their bodies with the sound of music. The poor, who cannot afford travelling or other kinds of expensive entertainment, can at least dance with their favourite songs and feel happier. When you feel lonely, music or a poem is your best friend. If you think that, due to some current problems, this is the end of the world, then you turn on the radio or play CD, and it gives you more energy and strength to cope with problems in life however hard it is. This is all because music and poems do wonders for our positive attitude to life.
