Some people think young people should follow the traditions of their society. Others think thau5t they should be free to behave as individuals. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Nowadays,
people
believe that it is a human right for someone to behave as a free individual. Others argue that it is more appropriate for young
people
to behave as what lies in the
traditions
. I agree that it is better for
people
to care more about the folklore of their society. On one hand,
traditions
are something that create by the older generation based on the situation in that specific time period.
However
, as time changes, the surrounding
also
changes the conditions where it is may not suitable anymore to follow what heritage told us.
For example
, Javanese marriage

have a lot of process and effort to work on from pre-marriage, marriage day, and post-marriage
traditions
. Unfortunately, some
people
may not have enough money to provide for all the Javanese cultures.
Moreover
, in some cases, there are cultures which not suitable for our religious beliefs.
This
may the main reason why
people
do not continue to do the same things as their existing
traditions
.
On the other hand
,
traditions
are unwritten rules which usually have good meanings for everyone. It is the responsibility of the younger generation to continue the folklore. Because culture is one thing that makes a place unique.
Therefore
, young
people
still need to acknowledge themselves to follow what
traditions
said when they have the ability to do so. Another reason, many young
people
misleading to use open-minded terms as an excuse to avoid culture.
This
will cause conflict in society. To illustrate, Qatar prohibited the LGBT campaign because
this
is something
that is
opposite to their beliefs, while football players who are pro to LGBT said that
this
is an act of not being open-minded to others.
Nevertheless
, open-minded is refer to respecting others and when a minority

place in where it has a different belief system, they need to respect that. In conclusion, there are some pros and contras to following what cultures are said to do. For me, I think it is our responsibility to keep the
traditions
as long as it is suited to our beliefs and we
also
have the ability to follow them.
