Western culture should be adopted by India good or bad?

Favor (Good)

  • Culture is not law, change is law of nature, and so if Indians want to adopt some good things of western culture, than it’s totally acceptable.
  • Western culture has various practices which are good and it can help us to make our society better.
  • Adopting good practices of any culture is always fruitful.
  • Sending parents to old age home is not a western thing. If it is immoral to send parents to old age homes then why are those old age homes set up.

Against (Bad)

  • There is a big difference between modernization and westernization. People wearing Jeans, T-shirts, Girls wearing short skirts, tops, jeans etc. and feel that they are modern; this is pure westernization - copying what people are doing there... this is not modernization. Modernization takes place in mind rather than in clothes.....
  • Adopting western culture is bad adopt culture but don’t forget your own culture.... People rarely care for the old ones' there, albeit we do, but nowadays people are getting busy and they are adopting the means to keep old parents in Old Age Home, which is not our culture.

Conclusion

  • Adopting western culture is not a problem but one should be very carefull whatever they are adopting is good or bad as per the current social standars
  • Just copying western culture wont work .We should find out the pitfalls of our culture and try to reomve them like dowery etc
  • One's personal freedom always matters.It's his own choice to adopt or not.

Point: copying and adopting western culture are two different things. Yes it is not harmful to copy or adopt the teachings of the western culture but when those teachings conflict with the teachings that our family instilled in us, its time to throw in the towel

Point: friends,i will say who is saying western culture affecting us ,that is not right,because we peoples are adopting that instead avoiding. we are making ourself or counting as western by follwing them. just girl are most liking to wear skirts and jeans rather salwar. some like to wear only for covering gender marking part of body rather to cover totally body like musilims girl. so we can't say western culture is making this.

Point: Indian culture is very respectable culture in this world. All the western people are trying to adopt our culture. Adopting western culture is good now a days but there is also some limits some kind of western culture is spoiling our india respect. Adopting to another culture in our limits is good for us and society.

Point: wearing western dress does not mean adopting western culture, we can adopt things from any of the cultures but we should have the judgement power which elements are to adopt and which not to. blindly copying to any culture is not good but a proper implementation of any good or helpful things are always appreciable.
