Every youth must have experienced the clashes of traditions and modernity all their lives. This is especially true to tribal communities whose history was not so pleasant during colonial era. Some youth don't even know how to speak in their mother-tongue, some don't even know how many tribes there are in their country. Some were discouraged from learning because some old folks said they're a waste for not being able to speak their original language.
Well I say, traditions are important, but so does progress. In a world that is developing rapidly, no society is going to survive without youths who challenged traditions and change it to suit the modern world. However, no society is unique if it forgets its heritage. Language, dances, customs can be learned over time. The most important thing is to always be educated in it, and to not be overtly rigid about it.
Thank you very much for reading. Have a nice weekend~
