Introduction 

Music has both positive and negative influence on society. Even in ancient times, music has the effects of sacrifice, religion etc.. Positive music can improve people's physical and mental health, it can also generate the positive energy of society and guide it to a brighter way, while negative music may making people misguided and lost they way home hence lead society to a negative road. The main positive effects of musics include inspiring effect, education effect, enrich and inspire people’s life, improve people’s health etc. While negative musics have bad influence on society and people’s spirit or life. Human’s thousands years history has shown both the positive and negative influence from music.

The positive effect of music on society 
Music can has positive influence on society and improve people’s spirit. Good music is also a symbol of the nation. Music’s positive effects have different forms in different areas. In the times of peace, music is more in the entertainment form, which shows the character of entertainment influence on human; while when a nation’s safety is in danger, music can inspire the society and call on people to rebel also. Good music conveys positive energy that benefits society and people, many people’s lives have changed to good ways thanks for positive musics.

Inspiring effect 
In war time, especially when experiencing national survival, good music can have positive effect of calling, inspiring and directing people. For example, when China was in the Anti Japanese War, Chinese musicians have make many songs to wake up people and inspire people’s spirit and courage to against the enemy. One of the most famous songs is the China’s national anthem, <March of the volunteers>, “Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves; With our very flesh and blood Let us build our new Great Wall!” This song has greatly inspired Chinese people’s spirit and concentrate the whole nation together to for freedom and independence. And the patriotic composer Chopin has used Poland folk music genre mazurkas to write a lot of musics which express his motherland people’s outrage and determination to struggle under the rule of the alien. These musics have greatly inspired people's fighting spirit also.

Education effect 
Good music is the mutual spirit food of all the society, it can cultivate excellent quality people. Even in kinder garden, kids are educated by songs which teach them many positive concepts. For example, 
music can educate people to love their motherland, and enhance people's sense of national pride. Many enterprises even have their own enterprise songs, because those songs can integrate the whole staffs together and educate them that they are part of the enterprise culture. And when students in school, they are taught a lot of songs which include love their parents, love their school and their country, these songs also improves their attachment for these important social issues. Every nation has its own national anthem, each has an educational influence on their people for loving their own country and for national dignity etc.(Fraser, 48). Hence musics can have very important positive influence on cultivating and educating people. 

Enrich and inspire people’s life 
Good musics have positive significance of enriching and inspiring people’s life, hence enrich the whole society. Good music can foster a firm belief in people to love life, love the whole. Although the world is complicated, the road of life is tortuous, but good music can help people to have the courage to face life and be strong in life. There are a lot musics which explore life theme. There is the belief of the persistent pursuit in some good musics, in which human beings have to through strong struggles, suffering failure and frustration to get on the road of victory and success, and from which we can realize the value and meaning of life. For example, the connotation of Beethoven "destiny symphony" always make people to realize a philosophy of life, that only through struggle, to catch the throat of fate of throat can a human be successful. Many people’s life have been inspired by this music. Such kind of good music has enriched positive energy to society, which making the world full of love and confidence.

Improve people’s health
Good music can 
have a positive effect on people's mental and physical health. Music not only has entertaining effect, it also has many wonderful effect for body and soul. Pregnant women like to use music to improve their unborn baby’s grow. Listen to good music can contribute to people's physical For example, Schubert's music can help insomnia sleep, Bach's music can relieve indigestion, Mozart's music can eliminate fatigue and revive the spirit. 

Good music has positive influence on people’s mental health also. When listening to positive musics, people may get released or even be cured on their souls. Musics are used in many areas to create a harmony environment. Yoga also uses soothing musics for people to practice and meditation.Music therapy has become a very popular method in both ancient and modern medical area(Weeks,45). Especially in modern society, there are a lot of pressures and competitions, hence people are easy to get depressed or feel failed, while positive musics or songs can make their pressures be releases and give their new energy. Positive musics can cultivate young people for mental healthy. Musics therapy has been generally used in many universities also for curing young people when suffer from depression or other mental problems( Long,121-135).  

The negative influence of music on society 
However, music also can have negative effect on society. The main reasons maybe from the musics or songs themselves, or from the meanings of them. Negative musics can damage both people’s physical and mental health, hence it can has very bad influence on society.

Bad for physical health 

Not all of the music on people's physical and mental health is good. Some musics are negative and bad for the body. Such kind of musics may have some bad impact on people’s nerve system and cause some bad result. For example, classical music can generate harmony human relationship, while noisy music may cause people easy to get angry or quarrel. If people listen to noisy music for long time, their nervous system are easily be intensely stimulated, it can even damage their heart and vascular system. 

Bad for mental health
Some musics are not noisy but their have unhealthy elements themselves, these musics have negative effect on society also. For example, there was a song called the Black Sunday, many people committed suicide after they heard that song. So negative musics should be avoided. Musics with unhealthy lyrics also have bad influence on society which may be bad for people’s mental health. Musics are part of culture, however, there are some cultures which will generate bad influence on society. Some musics’ lyrics express the negative or misunderstanding of life, which produce negative energy on people’s life. Music is so easy to get into people’s life that its difficult to refuse the bad influence when listening negative musics or songs. For example, in China there are some pop musics express some love concept like man love women who give up her everything to please a man. Such concept has bad influence especially for young people. 

Conclusion 
Although negative musics also have entertaining effect, but they do not have many positive influences on society, such as educate people to the good faith and behaviors, or have inspiring influence on people’s life or spirit. On the country, negative musics can make people indulge in negative feelings or concepts, which will cause the lack of spirit or goal in life, or the misunderstanding of reality etc.. Negative musics can have bad influence on people’s physical health also, and cause some even serious physical problems. Hence negative musics do have bad influence on people’s life and society, there should be a choosing eyes when deciding which musics or songs should we listen, cause what you hear is part of what you are also. It may be kind of difficult for choosing or defining which music is positive or negative. But the body and soul will tell the truth any way. If a music causes uncomfortable or even bad feelings physically or mentally, then it should be called as a negative music, while if a music or song making people feel released or spiritually fresh, it can be called a positive song. And society should also provide some guidance especially on musics which is exposed to young people, because these kind of people do not have definite concept of the positive or negative musics, hence they may get bad influence from the negative ones.
