Governments must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to thrive, because it is primarily in cities that a nation's cultural traditions are preserved and generated.
Should governments allocate money for their major cities to preserve a nation's cultural traditions, for the reason that the major cities are where the cultural traditions preserved and generated? I agree with the author insofar as other cultural customs, such as folk, different festivals and perspectives of different regions, have been equally paid attention with.
What no body would think of denying is that the major cities always play an important role in reflecting as well as preserving a nation's cultural traditions. Considering the most famous cities in the world--New York, Tokyo, Beijing and so forth, one will never fail to figure out the most impressive memories are almost the same, that is, the multicultural and metropolis. People could possible get a scratch of almost every culture in the world. The movies produced by different nations are showing in the theaters conveying what people of another culture are thinking. The daily communications involves so many individuals who possess different convictions or come from different regions with another tradition. The painting exhibiting in the galleries are actually a combination of best works in the world. Everywhere we go, we go with the vision of difference, that is, multicultural. This is important, especially for people living in a world that is experiencing a special event--globalization.
However, there are other forms of traditions that also need to be take seriously, otherwise some significant features or values, which thrive or even survive the culture will be neglected. For instance, the folks never fail to express the feelings or affections of people since it come into being. The American country folks sometimes convey a melancholy love or a life filled with mishaps. The festivals, such as bull festival in span reflects the outgoing and hospitality of the Spanish, always demonstrate a vivid thoughts of people. These cultures are of the same precious as that of major cities.
These culture traditions discussed above are not always stand with the environment of major cities, such as New York, which featured with multicultural and metropolis. Oppositely, a quiet countryside or a remote area might nurture this nice culture, since little interruptions or interferences are likely to happen there. However, it is not follow that the government should let it be what it is, even in a situation that the culture is going to extinct. In this sense, the government is responsible for these accumulated cultural treasures for they have and is continuing to serve as an impulse to thrive the nation's culture.
As what I said above, it is clear that the culture preserved in a relatively remote area is of such a great importance to the thriving or surviving of a nation's culture that should not be ignored mentally or economically. In turn, the government should keep a balance on the developing of the culture treasures of its major cities and other correspondingly remote area and, moreover, always keep a notion in mind-- not to try to change these valuable cultures deliberately. |
