Stage 1: Explain Aspect: Modernization breaks traditions

Modernization breaks one's own customs and practices. They become happier in terms of the quality of life due to modernization and the application of science and technology as life is not as arduous and inconvenient as before. People in the society are always coming up with new ideas and better ways of making life easier and more enjoyable. Due to the introduction of science and technology, people preferred the newer and easier way of doing things instead of the older and complicated way of doing things. And as the world accepts technology willingly due to its high benefits, the world becomes complacent. Work that could be done by machinery or the computers, men will leave it to technology to do its work. The world is fixated in moving forward and in creating a futuristic world that they forget about the past. The customs and practices their ancestors worked hard to preserve. People forget the values imparted from their own tradition as the society becomes more modern and westernized. Instead of abiding the customs and values of their own traditions and viewing traditions as a matter of great importance and value, people becomes complacent and does not find it necessary to ‘reminisce the past’ and to ‘move on’. They now view traditions as something that is old fashioned and troublesome, something that need not be heeded. They adopt western cultures instead of sticking to their own cultures. Slowly, they lost touch from their own cultures and instead of being who they really are, they become a foreigner and loses their identity. The connection with their own culture is gone damaged by modernization and technology.
