The culture shock

Culture, tradition and customs are all consequences of a generation's survival attempt at a particular period of time based on situations and circumstances. It is therefore not necessary for generations far removed , to be unduly concerned about practicing all of them and talking about them all the time. I'm not trying in anyway to demean or consider as unnecessary all aspects of the past. As the society evolved, all traditions, customs and culture also evolve or change. But it does not mean that all earlier things are wrong and need to change totally. Culture is a very broad term that includes all the aspects of human life including behavior, work, dress, food, art etc. Though there could be differences in one or more aspects such as food, dress, music and dance, other aspects such as attitude, behavior and ethics cannot vary much as all belong to the human species.
The reason for a vide variety in customs, traditions and culture is essentially due to the geographic segregation by space and time as well as lack of efficient transport and ways of  communication in the past. But as societies evolved, with developments in science and technology, people were brought closer by space and time. There was a steady increase in flow of information and mixing of cultures. Selection pressure leads to adoption and absorption of whatever is good in alien culture. No one would accept change if it's not to their liking and advantage. Mixing of cultures result in evolution of new cultures and that is the way of life. No one can dispute the need to preserve old traditions and culture. But it need not be by fighting against change and advocating only the past. Nothing should be forced on the unwilling.
Culture pseudo-protectionism is either politically motivated or for personal gain. I am saying this because of a talkshow, I happened to see in a local channel in which the conductor of the show, dressed in western attire, talks every time only of the greatness of the local culture, as if all others are uncultured. Boasting is a psychological disorder that affects when you feel inferior. If you are a deserving society or culture or person, you should be praised by others.  All humans are bestowed with identical capabilities of the brain and each one uses it in one way or the other. Let us not encourage the "you or me " attitude and take up the "we" attitude. It is not possible to conclude what is right or wrong in culture. Culture is the totality of the way of human life at a given time and is determined by various factors of that period. Nothing more nothing less. Why then condemn just because you don't like? When generations coexist at any point of time, there is always a culture shock puzzling them. Culture shock is inevitable if you don't understand.
