"Nowadays it is noticed that cultural mixing is reflected within local cultural practices. Do you think it is good for our society?"

In today's society,we commonly encounter
people
 belonging to different cultures living together.
Thus
 some of the local cultural practices have altered in several different ways over time.
However

home to diverse cultures, languages and ethnicities.
Also
, certain barbaric local cultural practices followed by some communities from the past have changed for the better
as a result
 of cross-cultural interactions.
On the contrary
, the fear of losing one's identity due to the influence of multiculturalism on indigenous customs and traditions can provoke violence, hatred and terrorism.
For example
, a peaceful culturally rich country like Sri Lanka had to go through a hard time during the civil war which lasted nearly three decades that claimed thousands of innocent lives.
This
 conflict between the two communities began primarily due to long-standing disagreements, misconceptions and political influences. To summarize, according to my view, a multi-ethnic society can bring many benefits, but can
also
 be perceived as a threat at times. That being the case, It's important to respect the beliefs, traditions and customs of all ethnicities. Concurrently, understanding each other's boundaries is
also
 crucial for social stability and harmony.
