Topic:-
Young generation is slowing keeping away from their traditions and cultures. What is the reason behind this? Is this a positive or negative development?.
******************************************************************
In a global world, a person interacts with a variety of people of different ethnicity. Young people are being influenced with the modern society, there are likely chances that they tend to give away their traditions and culture and indulge into the new culture.
One of the major contributors is that people are migrating from their native places to different countries. With the limited availability of the society, sometimes it becomes very difficult to keep up the traditions in a new place as they may be staying alone. For example a student who travels abroad to pursue his higher education by his own. Being a vegetarian, it becomes very difficult for him to find a food without a meat. Due to the cosmopolitan environment, celebrating festivities of his traditions may be little difficult.
Another reason is there is a lack of awareness provided by parents. Parents should ensure that they teach up their children about their cultures and engage them in every activity to the possible which could help them in giving a better insight. Therefore, there are likely chances that young people get influenced by the other cultures and chances are lesser of following their culture rigorously.
As far as development is concerned, there is no harm in knowing about different cultures and involving themselves. However, one should judiciously be part of it and ensure that they stay connect with their traditions too. For instance, there are many societies which are being formed by the non-resident of the countries in abroad which can help them to ho celebrate various cultural celebrations.
To conclude, I think one shouldn’t refrain himself/herself from their traditions. It’s always good to visit your roots which will help them in understanding their traditions more deeply and their core values mentioned as a part of their traditions.

Hello!
First of all, I am not really sure about many of your arguments. It doesn't seem very difficult for people to maintain their culture in foreign countries, e.g. Muslims in Western countries, Chinese in Malaysia, Indians in Fiji. The specific example of vegetarianism seems unlikely.
The argument about teaching culture needs an example.
I find the third point difficult to understand.
Vocabulary and grammar are generally quite good, but in some places mistakes make the arguments unclear.
All the best,
David
