Answer:

             Tradition against Modernity

Traditions and modernity are diametrically opposite entities. Traditions points to past, whereas modernity points to future. Traditions were actually made for the convenience of the people in the long past by the then wise people. For example all the festivals that we love celebrating are nothing but traditions. They are an integral part of our society. For example, take any tradition and analyze it; you will find it has many wholesome benefits. The festivals we celebrate, religious ceremonies performed at wedding, inauguration of a business, house warming party, performing hawan etc., all are our traditions.  

Modernity, on the other hand refers to current times. Modernity does not believe much in traditions. For example, the young generation does not care much about these traditions. Hence, they are not as reverent and interested in these traditions. They believe in modern living. They prefer sticking to their ways of thinking and doing things. Often they can be seen questioning their elders the use and rationale behind the traditions. They feel more comfortable using their mobile phones, laptops, TV, internet, roaming here there in vehicles rather than bothering to observe traditions.  

The best approach is blending traditions with modernity to strike a balance. Traditions and modernity should be blended in such a manner that they form something new that is beneficial for all.
