Traditions are about the past and innovation is about the future, and it has been argued that we need to let go of traditions for the sake of progress. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this? What role should traditions have in our lives?
People
today are living in global advancement times, which has reshaped our various lifestyles. Some group thinks that ancient practice should fade off while others say otherwise
. From my point of view, I do not agree with the aforementioned., This
essay will discuss how our ancestral cultures
have impacted a lot in our lives.
Firstly
, ancestral cultures
identify people
's identity from different diversities around the world , most ancient practice represents a symbol which is taken to be scary. For example
, some parts of India believe in their idol worship and cultures
which is sacrosanct and anyone who defiles the sacred land will be penalized. Again lots of people
dress according to their culture. Furthermore
, most people
still believe in the use of herbs and roots rather than orthodox medicine this
could be implied to the Chinese groups. Traditions are ancestral cultures
which were far practice by our ancestors although
modernisation helped us to reshape a lot of practices which were believed by our ancestors to be evil. For example
, our ancestors saw the birth of twins as an abomination and ends up killing them until Mary Slessor advocated and educated them on the havoc they are creating and moreso letting them know that twins have equal
right to live.

On the other hand
, before now agricultural cultivation was practised through the use of manual equipment such
as hoes , and matches, to mention but a few but since the revolution of global technology modern devices are used to carry out such
work thereby making work easier and convenient. Also
, in ancient ,times letter writing was written with ink and bird's feather and hence
, sent to the receiver through a special specie of birds like parrots.
In conclusion, although
modernisation has exposed people
to certain things that can facilitate their means of living both communication aspects, I feel that our ancient traditions should not be overlooked because this
gives different ethnic backgrounds their identity,recognition and respect.Submitted by adaobihedioha12 on
