It sounds like you're asking for two different, although related things.
One about the different instruments around the world, which is an essay topic unto itself.
The second, about music's impact on culture, or music as culture.
I could write that paper for you with ease. But I think you'd learn more if you did it yourself.
A good place to start is to research the different instruments that different countries and cultures use, and how they're used.
Then, think about what place that music and the arts fill in society. Not just your own country, but other countries, where music is more a spiritual or cultural element in life, than simply a means for making money, as it largely is in Western countries.
 
I'm writing an essay for school on different instruments around the world.
How is music important to culture? How does it affect a culture as a whole?
well, I also have to explain how music is important to culture in this essay.
 
Since the beginning of time music and dancing have enhanced people lives and have become an integral part of the all cultures. The bushmen in Africa would create instruments, and rhythmic patterns to use in ceremonies. Music lifts the spirits, lightens the soul, enhances moods and gives positive creative energy. Each culture often has it's own music, so it does in that way, bring like people together which can further enhance relationships and learning. Music is distinct for each culture and the cultural values associated with tradition bring families and keep cultures together through energy exchanged in celebrations. Drumming is a big part of the Native culture. When you think of Native Indian music you think of drumming. It affects culture by bringing people together in celebration.
 
music is a form of expression, a conduit for storytelling and learning (think abcs or songs used to remember/recount important events/morals etc.). It's a shared experience of a culture, which unifies it and makes it stronger.
