Nowadays, children and teens are not fond of
playing outdoor games. As technology advances and more gadgets are invented,
youngsters would prefer to play with all of these alone. Not all them are
knowledgeable that long playing hours have health risks. Besides, it could also
affect their social life as they are not able to make friends because they
spend most of their time with computers. Moreover, along the improvement of
technology is the improvement of communication.
We are now able to know what is happening around the world through
media. And media has a direct effect to us.
Looking for an article about western culture,
I saw an article entitled,“Benefitsof Western Culture”. Tomazinho
Cardozo, its writer, was generally saying that western culture was beneficial
in correcting some wrong beliefs special on the culture of Indians. He said it
because of the accusation of the elders in India that the culture of westerners
ruins the life of youngsters at present time. Obviously, he strongly disagrees
with this. It was clear that since the generation today are so hook of about
everything western, so the tendency to copy the way of living and the way of
thinking of westerners are high. To support his statements, he emphasized that
people from west were the people who brought advancements in the world. We all
know that these advancements corrected the wrong beliefs that we have before. “Therefore let us not blindly target
the Western culture for all the evils that raise its ugly heads in our society.
It is the people who have to accept or reject cultural aspects of any culture
to be adapted to our way of life. Thus there is an urgent need to strengthen
the foundation of values system in the lives of our younger generation so that
they are capable of accepting the positive aspects and rejecting the negative
aspects of any foreign culture. Hence let us not blame the Western culture for
all the adverse happenings in our society,“said by Cardozo
as his concluding statement. I agree with him because all of the cultures can
cause harmful effect if misused or misunderstand. Besides, it is about our
decisions that will make or break our lives.
Everything is relative.
We can always see a good side or a bad side in anything based on what
perspective we will look in too. However, we must have no right to pursue other
people to believe or to think the way we want. Everyone have a freedom- freewill.
