I created these questions after doing this reading.

Tradition and Modernity

● How have you seen people move away from tradition and towards modernity?
● How have you seen people use tradition as a basis to move towards modernity?
● In what ways do you see certain traditions holding back a society?
● What is the importance of holding on to tradition?
● Define modernity in your own words
● What do you think drives change in society?
● What aspects of change do we have control over?
● Define tradition
● Do you think tradition could be considered an aspect of national identity?
● Is traditional culture fluid and changing?

History
● Define history
● How is history collected?
● If history is a way of telling the story that is the past, is there a wrong story? Or simply
different perspectives of the same story?
● Do you think written history can tell the entire story? (Thoughts surrounding this are what
if a whole society isn’t literate)
