As I can see, there is a huge difference between the past celebrations and festivities compared to the nowadays. In the past, skeletons were used to wear costumes and specific materials and celebrate their traditional values regularly. They used to appreciate these kind of celebrations more. But nowadays, people, particularly the youngsters, make their costumes and festivals because they tend to integrate with worldwide. They want to be a part of global and they think it’s not important to celebrate these kind of festivals and costumes. So they want to wear modern clothes and they totally forget about their heritage and legacies. And I mean, because I’m a cultural watcher person, I’m not really agree with this trend and it’s happening at an alarming rate. So it is vital for societies to prevent this trend by means of raising youngsters’ awareness about the importance of these kind of celebrations because they stem from their ancestors and their invaluable insights toward life. And they should preserve their legacies in these kind of celebrations because they are not just a festivity. They are a symbol or a reminder of a very specific and priceless ideology or event which is really fascinating.

As I can see, there is a huge difference between past celebrations and festivities compared to those of today. In the past, skeletons were used to wear costumes and specific materials to celebrate their traditional values regularly. They used to appreciate these kinds of celebrations more. But nowadays, people, particularly the youngsters, make their costumes and festivals because they tend to integrate with the world. They want to be a part of the global community and think it's not important to celebrate these kinds of festivals and costumes. So they want to wear modern clothes and totally forget about their heritage and legacies. As a cultural observer, I don't really agree with this trend, and it's happening at an alarming rate. It is vital for societies to prevent this trend by raising youngsters' awareness about the importance of these kinds of celebrations because they stem from their ancestors and their invaluable insights toward life. They should preserve their legacies in these kinds of celebrations because they are not just festivities. They are a symbol or a reminder of a very specific and priceless ideology or event, which is really fascinating.
