Nowadays in many countries, traditional customs are less popular than in the past. Do you agree or disagree? What can parents and teachers do about this? 

 

Unarguably, these days are witnessing an alarming decline in traditional customs and culture as compared to the past. I completely agree with this notion, and by making the current generation aware of customs more deeply, this trouble can be reversed. 

The globe has changed drastically in the past one or two decades. Moreover, with the advent of technology, especially the Internet, this world has become a global village. Hence, today’s generation is seizing more knowledge about other cultures. More specifically, while residing in India, teenagers prefer to wear western clothes since they have more choices. Therefore, globalization is gobbling local cultures. 

To get around this cultural invasion, both teachers and parents should have to come forward to investigate this matter thoroughly by following certain aspects. Firstly, on a regular basis, workshops and awareness camps should be organised for school-goers to get connected with their roots. Secondly, parents too should follow their old traditions since they are being imitated by their wards as they are their first teachers. For instance, a number of nations such as Japan, China, Hong Kong and South Korea are organising cultural camps continuously in order to make their youngsters aware of culture, customs, creed and roots.  

 

To conclude, owing to this fast-paced modern world and globalisation, people are showing interest in Western and other cultures. As a result, local tradition and history should be emphasised equally to overcome this menace.
