In many countries, traditional dress and costumes are considered effective ways in maintaining link with the past. How effective can traditional costume be, in this sense? What other ways exist to help citizens connect with the country’s past?

Every nation in the world has a different cultural background.

This

cultural heritage includes traditional language, culture, foods, and traditional costumes. One approach considered as a good idea to preserve the country’s heritage is by wearing traditional attire. Numerous nations have regulations to persuade society to wear

this

type of apparel at their national event. In my opinion, wearing traditional costume is a practical plan to protect the past. First of all,

this

can make the young generation embrace the richness of the country.

For instance

in Indonesia, every year

this

country celebrates their independence day on August, 17th and the attire code of

this

event is traditional clothes. All the Indonesian people on

this

day must wear their local apparel. By doing

this

, we can see the variety of clothes in the past, and feel related to that era. The second reason, it can enrich the knowledge of the future generation regarding the former history of the nations. Traditional

have many symbols that represent the value of their culture,

for example

, the colour, shapes and ornaments. By seeing

this

, the society will respect their history.

However

, there is another idea to help the citizen relate to the past. The society can visit the museums. There are a lot of museums spread all over the nations which display the history of the past. One of the examples is the Rotterdam Museum in Makassar. In

this

museum, the visitor can see the manuscripts and photos of South Sulawesi Province in the past. Not only photos

but there are

also

some documentary movies played every Thursday about the situation a long time ago. Watching movies and seeing the photos could help the people to feel the situation in the past. In conclusion, costume in traditional attire is one of the efficient ways to make the citizens associate with the past.

Nevertheless

, visiting museums could become another alternative action for the community to become more attached to their nation’s antiquity.
