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?
