Some people think that people nowadays are not interested in keeping the traditional culture of their country. However, others believe that it is still important for people to protect traditional ways of life. In this essay, I will discuss both views and give my opinion.
On the one hand, it seems that many people, especially young people, are not interested in traditional culture anymore. Because of globalisation and the internet, young people prefer to watch foreign films, listen to pop music and eat fast food. For example, many teenagers in my country know more about Korean pop music than traditional folk songs. In addition, people are very busy with work and study, so they do not have time to learn traditional skills such as handicrafts or traditional cooking.
On the other hand, many people still think that traditional culture is very important. Traditional festivals, such as the Lunar New Year in Vietnam, are still celebrated by almost everyone, and families come together to cook traditional food and visit relatives. Moreover, many governments and communities try to protect old buildings, traditional music and handicrafts, because they are part of the national identity. Traditional culture also attracts tourists, which helps the economy.
In my opinion, although modern life has changed a lot, most people still care about their traditional culture. They may not follow all the old customs, but they still want to keep the most important traditions.
In conclusion, some people believe that traditional culture is not important anymore, but I think that people still want to preserve their traditions, especially through festivals and family customs.
