The world and society are changing, a lot of good, new things are replacing obsolete foundations. Is it necessary to preserve old traditions or are they hopelessly outdated and need to be forgotten?
On the issue of the importance of preserving traditions, people formed two opinions. Some believe that traditions should be maintained so that people remember their national characteristics. After all, if the country does not have its own traditions, then people will accept the culture and foundations of foreign countries. In the vast majority of cases, this does not lead to good results, the identity of the people is lost. Why try to adopt the lifestyle and thoughts of other groups and nationalities, rejecting the foundations of their own homeland?
Because of such thoughtless adoption of other people's norms, people began to lose their individuality, because of this many modern problems of society arose. Previously, children were brought up differently, and they grew up polite and honoring their family and their ancestors. Now, most of the children are at a very low level of moral development. They do not know their ancestors, their roots, because they were not told by their parents, who, perhaps, themselves do not know.
Of course, it is important to devote time to new trends in the education of youth, but we must not forget about the history of the homeland. By acquainting children with beautiful folk art products in museums or at exhibitions, you show them the value and importance of the work of masters who use the traditions of Russian people.
The news that you read and see has ceased to follow the achievements of an individual. Man has remained in the shadow of world disasters and technological innovations. This can lead to a loss of a sense of patriotism and civic responsibility, ignorance of what the Russian people can be proud of.
Traditions by no means include everything that ancestors did. Basically, this is all the most valuable and important of the practical activities, habits and customs of the people, something that must be passed on to descendants. Keep traditions must begin with their own families, studying their history.
