As technology has developed, it is evident
that modern life is completely different from the past. Some suggest that
traditional ideas in life should be preserved,
which is often contradicted by others who argue they are not helpful for life today.
In my opinion, traditional ideas might be needed in some areas but are also
unnecessary in other parts.
First, when it comes to how people should
live, traditional ideas are required. There is a huge (구어에 가까운 표현이라 가급적이면 사용하지 않는 게 좋긴 합니다.) similarity in people of the
past and today. They share the same type of society; living in groups and
interacting with others. That is why the idea of how people can benefit each
other or live harmoniously should be passed on by ancestors.
Secondly, considering about how people
should think, traditional ideas will not have a great impact on modern life.
Compared to the past when people were starving and had to spend most of their
lives finding food, nowadays people desire improved quality of life. For
example, enough time for rest has become a significant factor while choosing a
job and marriage is not thought to be mandatory. As values change, so do ideas.
Last but not least, traditional ideas are
nothing but ‘old thoughts’ in how people should behave. In the past, people
were interested in finding more fossil fuels or producing massive products.
However, now it is time to develop environmental friendly fuels and protect the
forests. Continuation of the past behavior would only make the earth ('지구' 를 의도한 경우 Earth, 땅을 의도한 경우 earth 인데, 저는 문맥상 전자를 의도하신 것 같네요.) more ill.
In conclusion, traditional ideas are
essential in how to live, but are quite ‘old’ in how to think or behave. (근거에 관한 아주 간단한 요약을 해주시는 게 좋습니다.)
