All traditions, cultures are scientifically made for the better life, but we should think to preserve-conserve and give them value for the next generation. So, from your home you should know your family heritage then have to know your social- community and after that your nation's heritage that how to preserve, conduct for your livelihood , some value for your next generation.  Modernism does not means that to get rid off your old value, it is mean by collectively running with traditional value. There should be some balance between modernism and traditionalism for present society. And a grow up child learn it from home only.
