Perpetuate What Reflects Us

Are you still single and envious of the culture in Denmark where they have a strange tradition of throwing a cinnamon to people who aren’t in a relationship yet? Or want to adapt the culture of Bosnia whereas they cook hundreds of scrambled eggs? Does it make you crave now?

Some traditions may sound bizarre or strange, yet people still mark traditional rituals up to this day. Their culture shapes and defines them. It is what sets one life of human apart from the other. It is due to their strong beliefs that these unique customs and rituals are still alive, and it ties us to the world beneath.

Characteristic of group of people defined by everything such as language, religion, and lifestyle, this is culture. Different people and different societies, different cultures also have some similarities. The culture varies in different things such as clothes, foods, religion, and many others.  Culture is the identity of a group of people living in a specific place; they have their own color and script of life, what the culture states they obey it. Some people, before doing something, they always think about their culture.  Culture is so powerful. It is crucial to let culture be a part of us and in order to make ourselves more cultural we need to be accepting of the many cultures surrounding today’s society.

People tend to feel hesitant because of their culture and how it differ from others. In this case, most of us isn’t honored about our culture and this is the main reason why our culture is slowly fading. Most of them are in favor of others’ style, items, foods than buying things made and manufactured in our country. Why would people feel shy about their culture if this is the main reason why all of us stand out. In the first place, they shouldn’t be ashamed of what they have and who they are, it is where they came from and it is where they are marked.

Meanwhile, technology has had a huge impact on present day cultures. Many have been altered and some have been created due to the rise of technology. The existence of technology helps the society in different kinds of ways just like in education, through economic and industrial processes, etc. But nowadays, it is is upsetting society.  As technology has changed, so have men and their behaviours and it includes how some individuals are currently forgetting and have forgotten their own culture and traditions. Most prefer to stay at homes scrolling through their mobile phones instead of going out during New Year and celebrating with their loved ones. Despite the negative impacts being left by the improvement of telecommunications, there’s a way in order to preserve our culture and keep it alive through the generations.

Large number of young people are embarrassed of their flamboyant cultures, some forgets it because of how they are attached to the modern generation. Why are they ashamed of their own cultures? Why do they choose to focus more on technology than involve themselves in cultural traditions? Cultures are one of the main reasons we are who we are. We need culture. This whole world is filled with cultures, but if we can’t learn to accept it and make it a part of who we are than these cultures will surely die out. Why would we even want to let it die out? It’s undeniably beautiful in its own ways regardless of the place you are.

Do not let anything make a place’s culture disappear. Let us learn how to embrace it and know its importance. You cannot preserve culture, because it is here and now, very much present among us. Only it’s form has changed. Our tradition has not been destroyed, but we have established new ways of living, which means that our traditions have changed. But no matter what, it depends on us on how to maintain and not change it. We are the ones who have the ability to keep it alive for the next centuries. Patronize your own cultures and traditions for it is essential in uniting individuals as a nation.
