Nowadays young people know less about traditions and culture than in the past. What are the reasons for it? Is this a positive development or a negative development?

In recent years, many young generations have had little knowledge about their traditional and cultural things compared with those in the previous era.

This

is because youth

people

have no classes for learning these kinds of things, and their

parents

barely hold cultural and traditional events. In my opinion, it should be viewed as a negative development because

people

may lose their

identity

. One of the primary reasons for

this

tendency is that youngsters do not have an opportunity to learn about

traditions

and

culture

at school due to the alteration of the academic curriculum. A growing number of school has come to focus more on science subjects than

history

, and many academic facilities have replaced

history

with science subjects.

As a result

, students lose a chance to learn about

traditions

and

culture

along with the past. To illustrate, in Japan, many schools put more science subjects

such

as mathematics and chemistry into the educational scheme by removing

history

.

Therefore

, students know little about their own

traditions

and

culture

. Not only schools but

also

young's

parents

also

cause

this

situation.

This

is because

parents

usually have a hectic work schedule compared with workers in the past, and they are unable to hold cultural events at home due to the lack of time.

For instance

, across the world, more and more families tend to avoid traditional parties because

parents

cannot spend time preparing meals for the party becausorganizinghortage of time. Unfortunately, the lack of knowledge about traditional and cultural things may lead to a loss of

identity

. Knowing these kinds of fields enables citizens to unite each other as they are specific to each nation. If young communities have no idea about

traditions

and

culture

, it is impossible for young

people

to have their

identity

and foster patriotism.

Thus

, they may be reluctant to fight in case they need to protect their country. To conclude, many young generations have because

history

disappeared from the school curriculum, and

parents

cannot organize cultural events due to the hard work schedule. It can be argued that

this

phenomenon is a negative development since young

people

lose their

identity

.
