You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic. It is inevitable that traditional cultures will be lost as technology develops.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.
Owing to technological advancements it is evident that classic rituals and rites might get diminished in near future. I partially agree with
this
statement. While it is true that technology
is harmful to our primitive rituals, I believe that humans are equally responsible for this
transition.
On one hand, technology
is being incorporated in every sector from households to big industries. Due to this
our dependency on technology
is getting increased day by day and as a ,result our lives are indirectly in the hands of technology
. The time
that was earlier devoted to understanding our culture is now getting wasted on surfing websites and social media platforms. For example
, in the last
5 ,years the number of users on social media is significantly increased.
On the other hand
, humans are also
killing their own traditions by not performing them and ignoring them completely. The reason is now a day people don't have time
as they are completely busy in their jobs, they don't have time
even for their family so how they can devote time
to celebrate our primitive festivals. For example
, a growing body of research suggests that in India the significant proportion of people who takes part in cultural activities is decreasing sharply as these people choose to relax instead
of celebrating any festival.
In conclusion, though traditional rituals are greatly affected by the technological expansions, in my ,opinion individual citizens are also
responsible for this
decline as they tend to skip the festivals and choose to relax on these auspicious occasions.Submitted by ayushgoswami25 on
