How can the world find a balance between modernity and tradition?

Question

Is there a way that traditional, cultural ways of life can be nurtured and celebrated while advancing into a modern future?

Answer 1

In every culture...  cultural ways and traditions are constantly changing and adapting to their modern day situations. That is what sustains the culture.

There are two issues to acknowledge.  

1.  is when the changes are so rapid that the individual has difficulty in adapting.

2. is when there is no change.  Which means the culture is dead, because no one can relate to it any longer.

The balance is found in acceptance of change and the ability to not tie culture to a pinpoint of time in the past.  

One's culture is not the same as their grandparents culture nor will it be the same for one's grandchildren.

Answer 2

Home is a perfect place to nurture and retain your cultural heritage keeping up to date outside of the house.

Answer 3

Yes, we do it all the time. The pagans celebrated the return of the sun by putting candles on evergreen trees, and today Christians have perverted it into a religious holiday involving the mythical figure Jesus. Maybe in the future we'll just enjoy the seasons for what they are, while telling stories about the quaint old world where they used to believe in such nonsense.

Answer 4

Advancements other than in culture is acceptable. But in the

name of advancement we are losing the moral value of our culture.The leaders of homes ,villages and in national level; all

are in  lake of moral values.Primary schools are the only hope to regain our values. We are in such a position to make

good students with bad teachers.Let us pray.
