Music, in my opinion, can be one of the greatest platforms to connect people, society, and cultures. In the US we are most aware of the music that fits Western standards.

I was not sure how to title this but I knew what I wanted to say. Essentially the English expect everyone to be able to understand them by having English as a second language. It's a spill out from Imperialism where a lot of people seem to think it still exists. You see so much that is skewed towards English despite Mandarin being the most spoken language in the world.
