Cultural Diversity

Old age, high population and different countries with different climate is a reason of diversity of cultures. And diversity is the thing that makes World more interesting. Diversity of cultures, people, languages are all interesting for us. We travel just for see new things, the things that we don't know. When you travel other country, you want to see their foods, ancient  monuments - things that you can't find in your motherland.


Being different is interesting and in the World that all people became the same with time this is priceless. Culture is the rare thing which we can keep different in anywhere still. Because, for people culture describes their history and people like to boast with their history. Having a good history or good culture are the things for proud of yourself.

Nations identify their people with tradition. You can dress like any nation's people but you can't behave like them. But nowadays we forget our cultures and we try to near other's traditions - "higher traditions". The term of "higher tradition" is the same with "having the best religion". If you are Muslim you see Buddhists so far from you while you don't think the same for Christians. Be honest, that most of us say we all respect anybody's religion but in reality "believe in Cows" is incredible belief for us. But for them it is as valuable as your Islam. I mean don't forget about relativity and understand that "higher tradition" is the same with "fake history" - trying show yours as the best.

So they skillfully show their culture as best and they want their culture to replace yours. It is the politics that persist to this day. I noticed this year Halloween celebrated very different in Azerbaijan. There were many parties that rarely happened till last year. It is not bad maybe, but the bad one is that the people who organized those parties will not do the same for Novruz. After 10 years new generation will not remember Novruz. The diversity that I was praised will decay, destroy. I can't understand what is this admiring to others. And why this same admiring doesn't appear in other sectors such as science? And I think this process is the same in many countries we destroy the things that make us "us". Such fake humanity that we learn from social media. We content oneself with statuses about problems and likes to hungry people in Africa. I don't know how I came this topic. No, to be honest I know, it was deliberately.

Originality is very important and we have to keep it. When you play other's game they will always be better than you. Be the champion of your game, everybody is better in his own profession. If you are in other country, learn their culture, enjoy from it. But never take our culture to there and don't bring any of them here. You can create new color from two colors. But it is illogical to destroy two colors for get one.

I don't want to give examples from other cultures. From Google you can get enough information about it and most of you know the very different cultures in the World. I just want to tell this diversity is interesting, don't destroy any of them, don't wash away our colors.

But you know this problem's solution doesn't appear in the future. Because you know I don't care about colors. Because I am a person who choose his dresses' color for fashion. Because I am a person that like to join flock. I like doing what others do, I see it more safe for me. I have not own decision, I afraid of make my own choice. I afraid of talking about Novruz in Halloween party. I afraid of people's censure. You can see how coward person I am. I am sure you are not a person like me. But what you can do, people like me are the majority.
