TRADITION VERSUS MODERNITY EFFECTS ON YOUTH

TRADITION VERSUS MODERNITY EFFECTS ON YOUTH

India was well known for its firm traditions and unwillingness to shift from old to new world of ideas and changes.

Nowadays Tradition has been extinct among youngsters, they are modern and have no culture.

Tradition is considered unnecessary to the need of the modern times. In the course of time, slow but steady changes take place.

Memorize the old world way of life when men and women lived simply, made homemade meals by hand each day and a life separate from the world and all its technological advances, but as time and world progress, such cultures are being forced or led into new ways of living, doing and thinking about every day life.

Each year comes with modernization where Indian societies are moving towards modern values and gradually forgetting their moral values.

Life is like a running stream but one doesn't often see that what is now modern becomes tradition in the long run.

The tradition joint families have given way to the nuclear family system.

The children in nuclear families are not being provided with a favorable environment as they get in joint families so they grow up and become problematic adolescents.

Traditions represent the Actual Identity of particular society, while getting rid of them is supposed to be a sign of modernity.

Traditions, quite often, keep us United, but modernity, usually, takes us apart from each other.

Much of what we do today has its roots in the past.

Modernism is in total contras with the ideas or methods of the traditional ones.

Old, it is said, is gold and should be preserved carefully.

But it is also an unavoidable fact that old is to be given up for good to enter the New Era.

We cannot go on sticking to our past customs traditions and roots simply because they have come by inheritance.

The world has to move on. Hence the presence of the conflict between the traditional and the modern.

We must maintain a proper balance between the two? Too much observance of traditions and customs is contrary change.

In the modern context, dowry is an evil that forces ambitious girls, whose parents are poor, to remain unwed.

The practice needs to be done away with entirely.

Another evil practice of the same magnitude is the child marriage.

We must adapt ourselves with the changing times, else shall deprive ourselves of the opportunity to make any progress or development.

Science and technology force us into ways of living that were hitherto thought unimaginable.

He is rather considered a nuisance, though extending hospitality to guests is our age-old tradition.

To get even a cup of tea in someone’s home has become difficult these days.

Then alone will we be able to preserve and revive our old virtues that made the country great and famous all over the world in the past.

Today's youth are facing trouble in blending modernity with tradition.

The younger generation aren't able to follow the conventional norms and ethics due to various constraints such as job, family issues, financial crunch, etc.

This, in turn, affects the mentality of the elder generation who misunderstood the youth.

Modern man is divided between his roots and the upcoming trends of science and technology.

Even mentally, he is split and now has a diasporic personality. He loses his identity with different levels of cultures and practices joining in.

The rational and constantly changing mind never see tradition in one way and never falls into the trap of reverting to old ideologies or vows.

Tradition stems from multiple grounds such as society, parents, ones specific culture and those of a reference group or specific society.

Modernity stems from an apparent need to change, but one doesn't often see that what is now modern becomes tradition in the long run.

Those who conserve ideas instead of reforming them create a conflict between both the modern thought as well or even better so with traditional notions of thought.

The older generations should understand the fact that their children who are born into the Modern Period, are individuals with their own identities.

They should be friends with their children and provide love, security, support and encouragement to them.

Individually neither of them is adequate to meet the needs of the society.

Traditions need to be known to us. And what is good in them be retained. But what is bad in them must definitely be can be discarded.

Quite often, even some good traditional practices are discarded in the name of modernity and change.

Thus, it could be said that “TRADITION MUST HAVE MODERNITY” in it which means that with the changing times new things should be incorporated in it.

Thank You and have Traditional Modern Day.
