Great many youngsters are of the opinion that their attitude towards food and dress culture is a matter of choice, and it is not a matter of concern that such cultures change as time passes by. • Do you agree or disagree with the view? Support your view/s with examples from your life or surroundings. Change, no matter what it is, is the order of human life. However, certain things do need to be kept free from changes. Food culture and dress culture are two such things. Undermining these is a matter of some concern. The concern is that modern generation finds it alright to undermine food habits and dress cultures. The problem is that the dress culture is something unique to all cultures. For example, in our culture, a set of white dhothi and shirt is the typical outfit goes with men at auspicious occasions. The same way women have their own; like saree and all that come with it. So is the case with food culture. Three times traditionally prepared food is the order of our culture. And occasional changes in this have always been welcome, though. On the contrary what happens if all cultures happen to endorse the view that it is a matter of choice! This will create wrong precedents, and the coming generation may happen to be dependent on alien foods which may not be in line with their metabolic requirements. For example, the health indices of a community hinge at its traditional food habits. Wrong food leads to health risks. The story will be a little murkier with regard to dress. Dress culture identifies itself with people and it happens the other way round too. A generation simply cannot turn its coat saying it is a matter choice. It is a concern indeed. In short, looking at the changing attitude towards food and dress cultures, I am inclined to say, the food culture of a populace determines their health status itself. When it comes to dress, it is right to add that it often proclaims one’s culture too. 285 words Ajaypeesdoc 28.8.011
