Music and Dance: Music and dance play

          a crucial role in many cultures as forms of

          entertainment, and religious  expression.

          People use dance as a means of expressing
          their joy in life, getting  exercise,  and to

          socialize in the community.


                                         Respect for  elders  and  ancestors: All cultures

                                         recognise the value of treating elders and ancestors with

                                         respect. In many cultures, people touch the feet of elders

                                         to receive their blessings.

                                         Elders should be treated with respect and dignity in their

                                         old age as they have made significant contributions to

                                         society throughout their lives.

          Due to urbanisation, globalisation, and changes in generations,  these traditional

          practices changed in the present day. But, they still support cultural diversity.




              Think &
              Answer     In some cultures respecting the elderly involves touching their feet to receive
                         blessings.  Do people  from  different  cultures  receive elder’s  blessings  in  the
                         same ways?
