COMPARATIVE STUDY OF
Lesson 1 Unit 2
OUR SOCIAL TRADITIONS
Objectives:
On completion of this lesson, students will be able to:
• Describe good and bad customs and traditions.
• Compare good and bad customs and traditions.
Nepal is a multi ethnic, multi-linguistic and multi cultural country. Different
social norms and values as well as customs and traditions are prevailing
in different community of Nepal. Visiting temples, Monasteries, Churches
or Mosques is very common religious practice in major religions of Nepal.
But few of the practices within such religions are also found unscientific
and not relevant to the present context. For example, class and caste
discrimination, accusing Boski, practice of witch doctor (Dhami/Jhankri),
discrimination between son and daughter, etc. Thus, we have to identify
good and bad practices prevailing around us. We should follow the good
one only.
