In some parts of the world traditional festivals and celebrations have dissapeared or are disappearing. What problem is this causing? What measures could be taken to counter this solution?

Over recent years traditional festivals have vanished or have been disappearing. But does

this

action have several consequences? I do believe it has and through

this

essay, I will

first

, mention two of them and I will suggest two possible solutions. To start with, it is generally accepted that traditional

festivities

play an important role when preserving the national identity. For that reason, it is an undeniable truth that those societies which have lost their remarkable dates and their local celebrations are condemned to lose their own heritage. I do believe that

one

possible solution will pass through the public institutions, as they might invest part of their national budget to promote and spread their most common representative

festivities

. Another argument put forward is that disappearing

festivities

will lead to the loss of national bank holidays. What I mean by

this

is, having vanished, national

festivities

will be cancelled.

Therefore

this

will have a negative impact on society which will feel frustrated. In

this

case,

one

possible solution should pass through the implementation of strict policies that aims to preserve the local

festivities

. To sum up, I do think that a society which has lost its own tradition is destined to disappear. Not only does national identity will be affected, but

also

the national culture will be seriously damaged.

However

, there are different angles from which

this

problem might be faced,

one

of them involves the promotion of the local

festivities

and the

second

one

passes through legislative mechanisms that should have been regulated by local authorities. In my opinion, if societies preserve their traditions, they will assure their presence in the future.
