Some believe that people today have no interest in maintaining the traditional culture of their country or region. Others believe that it is still important to people that we preserve a conventional way of life. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

It would be argued that some people are not interested in leading their lives following their traditional
culture
these days anymore.
However
, some others believe that preserving ancient customs is
part
of our history. In my
opinion
, the traditional
culture
has advantages and disadvantages. The positive effects are worth learning. The negative effects can be improved.
To begin
with, in some people's
opinion
, many festivals and celebrations are
part
of our identity and maintaining them is an indispensable
part
of our life and our duty. I strongly believe that it is vital for every
culture
to preserve its
traditions
. Because if we stop observing traditional celebrations, or if we do not uphold them, we will soon lose our cultural identity. Take Yalda night,
for example
, the Iranian celebration of the winter solstice, which we cherish every year and shows our historical background.
Therefore
, with preserve the traditional cultures we could learn various information from our ancestors. On the hand, in some people’s
opinion
, many cultural
traditions
had negative effects on society.
For example
, many ancient cultures have a deeply ingrained belief that girls should not have an education. It goes without saying that, education plays a crucial role in our society's promotions at every stage.
As a result
of staying out of
this
belief and providing practical education for all citizens, the country moves on the ladder of success at a lightning-fast pace.
Thus
, it is clear that many
traditions
better be changed and globalization helps
this
evaluation with to progress of the internet and social media. In my
opinion
, many
traditions
are
part
of the heritage and that should be maintained. We need to remember the importance of our
culture
because the essence is memory. The interest to keep is not only important for the single individual but even more for the history, to be unique and not a standardized group of people. On the other side, many customs should be changed in our modern life. It is probably best to protect them by letting customs evolve over time. In conclusion, respect for old
traditions
is necessary, but it is
also
imperative to keep up with modern times with technology and Globalization. I genuinely believe that
