India’s response to the Western influence has been controversial because the elders believe that the youth are gravitating to the western culture and forgetting their Indian traditions. It is Indian culture to take care of those in their community. They do not have social security and making family bonds is extremely important to them. For example, the youth are so connected to social media sites, smart phones, brand name clothing and partying in night clubs according, to YouTube videos that are circling the World Wide Web. In the past, the youth stayed home and girls married young; however, this is no longer the case.…
Western Civilization characterized the start of humanity, and the evolution of mankind from the manner of survival techniques to the urbanization of human civilization. Continuously, we see the repeated themes of religion, the simultaneous tie of divide and conquer in relation to expansion, intellectual awakening in the arts and philosophy, death, and the shift of governmental power as it transfers in the hands of an individual monarch, democracy, and so on. The present and the future are set and defined by the actions of Western Civilization as we continue to see the laws of Hammurabi’s code and the bible continue to dictate official bodies of paper, the art work displayed in museums, the roots of religion and the birth of new religions, education and institutions, rebellious nature of humanity, new advances in medicine and science, the exploration and discovery of land and its inhabitant with the rise of traditions and…

There is no reason to believe that there are fundamental differences between the East and the West. Human beings are everywhere human and hold the same deepest values. The differences which are, no doubt, significant, are related to external, temporary social conditions and are alterable with them. East and West are relative terms. They are geographical expressions and not cultural types. The differences among countries like China, Japan and India are quite as significant as those among European or American countries. Specific cultural patterns with distinctive beliefs and habits developed in different regions in relative isolation from one another. There were periods when China and India were pre-eminent in cultural affairs, others when Western nations became dominant. For the last four centuries Western nations aided by scientific development have dominated the East. The world has now reached a state of inter-communication. All societies are fast becoming industrialized and new sets of values are springing up. We are called upon to participate in the painful birth of a new civilization. If we are to live together in peace we must develop international cooperation and understanding.…

Westernization has been a deleterious effect of cultural diversity throughout the world. The new generation disregard the whole concept of rich culture. Paul Harrison points out "Young people don't like operas, they are too old fashioned". He goes on to quote a young man remark saying "We would prefer to see a high-quality Western variety show, something like that", this is the consequence of permissive parenting. Permissive Parenting is low on positive structure and direction. (When it comes to handling your hard-to-handle child, are you an authoritative, authoritarian or permissive parent?, 2000). The younger generation is being brought up by indulgent parents into a more modern world that is exposed to different cultures. Permissive Parenting does not grow the child with strict values; there is no direction to where the child is heading and therefore adapts to what he/she likes or what is trending. Parents are influential bearers and if there is no guidance the child will stray away to what he/she feels is familiar or…
"India is the cradle of human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most astrictive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only! - Mark Twain” This quote is an exemplary example of Indian history that only scratches the surface of the actual history of India. India’s culture is an amalgamation of its own states and “subcultures.” Hierarchy, family status, and social status are an important part of their culture.…

Youth is the spring of life. It is the age of discovery and dreams. They have the power to transform the nation into a better place. They also have the ability to lead their fellow citizens into the right direction. Youths are fighters. It has rightly said by Herbert Hoover, “Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die.” They fight for an identity in society, equality, unemployment, exploitation, poverty and other problems which the world faces today. All of them hopes for a world full of opportunities, so great minds can conquer them and become better individuals. They need good morals and values to handle conflicts in a positive way.…
