Traditional values are irrelevant to modern society

Within the last century the role of traditional values among society has been changed as never before. As far as I am concerned these changes are to a great extent negative.

To begin with, modern society don't need traditional values at all. Members of modern society live in a totally different environment, where there is no room for fostering traditional values. Traditions and customs have been forgotten for the sake of modern technology and gadgets.

Secondly, the decreasing role of traditional values are closely connected with the pace of today living. For many of us, it is extremely hard to find some speare time for entertainment. No wonder that we could'nt find time for cultivating traditions.

Thirdly, traditional values are irrelevant to modern society as modern society is less and less interested in religous practise, which we can see by decreasing number of people attendind regulary to church. Our faith is connected with traditions and customs.

In contrast, actually there is some hope for cultivating traditional values in the eldery, who are more conservative and therefore closer connected with tradition. The question is that, whether we can treat them as a modern society or not.

Taking these points into consideration, I would say that in modern society, within the world of intermingled cultures and juxtaposed nations there is barely a place for traditional values. In my opinion I wouldn't exaggerated if I say that this situation won't change for the better during iminent years.
