Traditional
festivals

carry a significant number of meanings for the
people

in a certain region. Indeed, each particular celebration holds a different story and message which accounts for the reason why it is extremely important.
However

, some
people

believe that these meanings have started to fade away because individuals have their own
way

to celebrate. I partly agree with
this
Linking Words
statement because only a small group of ignorant
people

can not speak for the whole. On the one hand, it is admitted that nowadays, younger generations do not fully comprehend the meaning behind traditional occasions probably because they regard
such

ways of celebration are outdated and untrendy. Millennials or Generation Z,
in particular

, tend to easily follow trends and are more likely to express themselves by going against the old pattern.
Therefore

, these youngsters take advantage of special celebrations to go to the bar or club to enjoy themselves.
This

action has distorted the meaning behind those traditional

However

this

can be changed by education. Yet the majority still highly regards the traditional
