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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Recently, some individuals believe that traditions are a thing of the past and it has to be sidelined, and allow innovation to progress since it is about the future. In
this
essay, I will explain why I strongly disagree with the idea of culture
being a thing of the past in order for innovation to take over.
Culture

, in Nigeria, the Yoruba people
believe that when an adult is seen, whether in public or private, you must greet them properly. Therefore
, just saying 'hi' to elders is not acceptable and can be seen as being rude to them. Culture
helps to teach the youths about respect and greetings. If this
is let go, then
the unborn generations will never know the proper way of greeting people
, and also
the use of showing respect.
Additionally
, citizens learn about their local dishes and meals through tradition. People
are taught and tutored on the idea behind these meals and their origin. These foods are most dated to the 19th century. If practice is scrapped, how will population

, a situation where everyone in a room wears a pair of trousers and blouses, with sneakers, you cannot differentiate what nations each individual represents. belief speak

In conclusion, I believe that Change the verb form
