In some cultures old age is more valued, while in other cultures youth is more valued. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Generally people living in cities or towns close to museums or historical sites don't prefer visiting them regularly. In the following essay, I would like to discuss the reasons for that situation and things that can be done in order to

change

them.

To begin

with, the majority of people living close to heritage sites don't understand their true value.

Hence

, they end up underestimating the importance and they neglect the benefit of visiting

such

places. In order to bring a

change

in

this

scenario, many NGO's (Non-Governmental Organisations) and Archaeological Societies are working together for years now.

For example

, after years of efforts by many NGOs, common public living in the city of Warangal, Telangana came to know the heritage and historical importance of the Warangal Fort.

This

enlightenment brought a huge

change

in the number of local people visiting the fort, leading to an enormous increase in the funds and

further

improvement of the site.

Secondly

, heritage sites are usually overcrowded with people and jam packed with traffic all the time.

This

situation generally builds up a negative impression in the minds of people living around that area. Many people even try to avoid ways close to

such

sites in their daily commute.

However

, to

change

the scenario and to attract the local crowd, developing and organizing the

museum

or historical site can help. To illustrate, recent development of an archaeological

museum

in Hampi, Karnataka, in terms of improved basic amenities

such

as parking facilities and proper maintenance of the area surrounding the

museum

has drastically increased the number of local people visiting the

museum

. To conclude, museums and historical sites play an impeccable role in inculcating the glory and culture of the past into the present world. Its our basic responsibility to look after and develop them to attract more people, irrespective of being local or non local.
