People’s behaviour is
determined by culture and
society where they are born
and brought up. Our culture
is very good as we respect
our elders and love juniors.
The lifestyle of the people in a
society is directly or indirectly
influenced by culture.

Now-a-days, most of the youths living in
urban areas are lured and influenced by
western culture. They are forgetting their
own culture and imitating the culture
which may hamper the society. We should
better imitate or copy the things such as
hard working, sincerity, responsibility,
self-reliance, etc. from others instead
dominating our own rich cultures.
Our typical cultures are our identity and are
quite valuable. But, it has been encroached
gradually. Poverty, unemployment,
western dress lacking effective rules and regulations and
corruptions are few reasons for it. Besides, internet and medias are also
equally responsible. We should not blame other rather we should be
aware enough to preserve our own culture.
We can preserve our valuable culture in the following ways:
- By exploring our hidden art and culture (music, dance, rite and
rituals, dresses, etc.) from every corner of the country.
- By organizing cultural programs at schools, neighbourhood and
the villages or districts.
