In this Globalization, why we should think about any particular culture. I accept that Indian Culture is the best, but we should welcome western culture as well. Not being rigid, but should protect and balance between two difference and should choose the best.
what do you think?

"A man is made up of what he thinks". No scientific evidence are laid to state that a particular culture is appropriate for humans to follow.


The culture of west must be working well in WEST and not EAST. Everything has to fit in exactly to work well. The culture in West is of their fore-fathers and they are following in rapport and none of them has made it. It is 'as it is'. They face with complete different kind of problems unlike ours.


But we should not totally disregard their culture just because it is in WEST. We have to choose the best for ourselves and see that our life improves. There is nothing wrong If something can help you out.
Parties as WEST insist that its for fun and rest. Yes it is. But our parents in India still don't like their daughter or son to walk home late in the night, some parents allow their children so that they experience it and knows to bind within the limits.


Lets see Democracy. India is the best democratic country and yet it had not propounded the Democracy. That's it. The political thoughts of western culture is good and ours best. We are sharing the same system but at the same time maintaining our INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY too.

Central and Eastern European cultural influences concerning artistic, musical, folkloric, ethic and oral traditions. These themes are also intensified by Indian cultures too and did we copy it? No, we did ourselves. That was music.

Globalization and human migration often effects cultures of some country and that is the best part of it as we learn new Ideologies and develop global outlook.

We should foster good attitude to excel as human. 'Breaking the wall' is the generations concept, so that we become better humans.

So lets say that Western culture has its effect in Eastern culture and vice-versa. And culture is no man's monopoly. Amending the bad for good is a sign of good culture.

Different ways to enjoy holidays

Hi friends
This new topic on ISC how can we enjoy holidays. Share your experience and ideas here.

1.

Hello Girish.
Hmm. I personally prefer going on a trip with my monkeys for a week or so. Then I love to come back home and have home made food which I really miss when m back in college.

And yea of course internet. I love surfing around heavily during my holidays and try to help others and try to get help from others. Beside that I love doing designing and holidays are the best time for me to do that. Please have a look at the header file @ i333.blogspot.com

I made that in Photoshop. And the most enjoyable part of my holidays is being in my bed for hours. I am a real zombie when I get back home. lol

2.

The following are some of the different ways to enjoy the holidays
1.By spending the whole time with family members by preparing special dishes in home.Give holiday to your wife and prepare all the dishes by yourself.Nothing will give you that much joy....
2.By going to a far off place with family members.
3.By Reading good books
4.By writing your ideas into a book......so on

3.

We can enjoy holidays in many ways:
* Visiting relations
* Shopping
* Tour or excursion
* Learning short term course
* Listening music or movies
* Browsing
* Can meet our friends

If we are very broad minded we can even visit some orphanage or old age home and help them with their needs or offer them some money. This will be really one of the best useful way we can spend holiday i feel. We will surely get a peace of mind and sacrifice among the all above ways.

i like to spend most of my holidays with my friends and family members by going to some far place and some resorts relatives and enjoying spending time with girl friend by going to some pub or some empty place.

How an individual can contribute in fighting terrorism? I want real, practical examples. Before suggesting; visualize yourself doing that act.
well , I personally feel that we all should be a little more vigil about the activities going around us. If something smells like a conspiracy. One can contact police !!
moreover, we should show active participation in spread in communal harmony and brotherhood. It may only begin with helping people in minor issues, without any care for there community!!
Also, like police and army personnel we should be more alert and make our reflexes strong as any eventful day approaches, any suspicious person or thing anywhere (buses, platforms, your guests room) should be brought in notice.
But, if some incident happens we should try to minimize effects by offering help and maintaining peace.
