Q. In some parts of the world traditional festivals and celebrations have disappeared or are disappearing. What problems is this causing? What measures could be taken to counter this situation?
Although
people
have celebrated traditional festivals
for a long time, some traditional festivals
and celebrations
in several regions in the world have started to disappear in the present due to
underlying reasons which should be looked into with effective strategy to bring back these celebrations
to the community.
To begin
with, the development of technology and science has changed people
's beliefs, which reduced the practices of the festivals
, especially ones that related to supernature and spirits which most people
might perceive as irrational in the present. Furthermore
, most celebrations
will disappear due to
the fact that the younger generations are not interested in festivals
compared to the older individuals. As a result
, the changes in people
's mindsets and the lack of interest in the celebrations
of juveniles might cause the disappearance of festivals
and celebrations
forever.
To reverse the trend, the problem should be tackled by promoting the festivals
and celebrations
that should remain in society through social media platforms such
as Facebook and YouTube. For example
, the festivals
can be promoted as opportunities for people
to relax and spend time with their loved ones. Moreover
, it can be supported as the highlight event of the country in order to attract both local people
and tourists which will directly increase the number of people
engaging in the celebration. Hence
, the promotion of festivals
as special events through online platforms will raise people
's awareness and engagement to continue celebrating in the future.
To conclude
, the transformation in beliefs and interests of the population these days has led to the disappearance of fairs and ceremonies. However
, using media especially online-based as a tool to promote the festival will help attract more people
which will help cultivate the practices and beauty in the festivals
that should not be forgotten in the future.Submitted by nathnicha on
