Some people say that young people should follow the traditions of their society and some say they should be free to behave as individuals. Discuss both the views and give your own opinion.

In the contemporary world,
youngsters
like to live by their own rules. Many
people
believe that the new
generation
of
people
can follow their
culture
. Whereas, some others think that all
people
are independent about the following
culture
or not. In the following paragraphs, I shall discuss both perspectives on cultural
values
and personal choice with suitable examples. Nowadays, cultural
values
and ethics are more important to understand our history and heritage.
First
of all, cultural
values
are vanishing from
youngsters
. They do not like to follow old traditions.
As a result
, our
next
generation
will suffer from a lot of consequences.
Moreover
, they are unable to learn about those cultures as well as lose the importance of historical things.
Finally
, the government should teach them about cultural
values
and provide some attractive offers like discounts on movie tickets or free food offered in
this
seminar. So, more and more
people
attend seminars and are aware of our
culture
.
By contrast
, some others think that the younger
generation
has their own choice to stay in their tradition or follow a different
culture
.
First
, following western
culture
is now in trend and most
people
want to follow
this
trend. A number of young
people
tend to wear western clothes and
also
celebrate several western festivals. They think that if they follow western
culture
, they become modern and easily adopt new things.
In addition
, the public learns English rather than learning Sanskrit and hardly one or two
people
from hundred
people
know about the Sanskrit language.
This
language is our tradition and long years ago a number of books were written in
this
language. To conclude, it depends on
youngsters
to follow our heritage or not.
Nevertheless
, in my view,
youngsters
have to follow our ancient rituals
instead
of western
culture
apart from that our future
generation
will have no idea about our
culture

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
