Most people have forgotten the meaning behind traditional or religious festivals; during festival periods, people nowadays only want to enjoy themselves. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

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

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ways of celebration are outdated and untrendy.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

festivals

.

However

, on a societal level, a majority of

people

still celebrate national

festivals

in the most traditional

way

.

For instance

, during Lunar New Year, Vietnamese

people

remember to wear

the national flower of Vietnam is

displayed. In short, the

way

the masses value their traditional

festivals

will always be presented through the decoration, the ambience and the customs. To conclude, I only agree to a certain level that there is a small community, especially younger generations who forgot the valuable meaning behind nation

festivals

by taking advantage of it to enjoy their own

way

, but

this

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

way

of celebrating important

festivals

, reflected by the

way

they dress and other activities that are similar to the past.
