should adults upset when young people break with a tradition of the past?

Answer 1

In "Fiddler on the Roof" the father sings about traditions. On the one, hand, he says....But on the other hand....
He gets to a point where he can not get beyond his own expectations, and he loses a daughter to her boyfriend of a different religion. The hope in the play is that the loss is temporary, but as I watched, I felt as if it may have been permanent. SHOULD adults be upset? No. We raise our children to be independent and live their own lives. We expect children to make choices we don't always see eye-to-eye with. DO we get upset? Yes. We all have expectations - young and old.
Regardless of which side you are on in the debate, remember the people involved are more important than society's expectations. A tradition can bind us or blind us. Remember that it was traditional for Rosa Parks to sit at the back of the bus. It was traditional for Bill Gates to use a pen and paper. My family barely recognizes some holidays, but we have holidays of our own discovery that we celebrate every year. Good luck.

Answer 2

It depends upon what the tradition was, why it existed, and why the young people are breaking with it. Some traditions don't deserve to continue, but traditions provide a useful structure to our lives, and if the young people are breaking a tradition just out of laziness, or because they haven't bothered to look into why it exists, then it can have a negative effect and can cause people to get upset.
