Is our Culture Polluted?

[madurax86]

sri lanka has a post victorian culture now.
the original sri lankan culture is polluted. When talking about sinhalese culture it is getting deteriorated day by day.
this is not because of urbanization it's because the people's minds have become sick and pathetic. and they have lost their culture which was there for thousands of years
As the main reason for the change as i can see, its the foreign attacks.
for example the culture of today needs every *buddhist* child to goto "dhaham pasal" @ sunday. "dhaham pasal" was not a part of the culture of us in the so called big culture that we are always being proved of, it came from Christianity from some thing called "sunday school" its not even close to what the people who lived here before the attacks of the foreigners. And as it is seen by all as a good thing i dont see it that way, almost all of those who are going to dhaham pasal try to memories every bit of everything. I dont think thats a proper way of understanding buddhism! It has become just another school to children.
A few parts of the initial culture is preserved and still being understood and put into action by the people. Other things are most post victorian its sick to understand it all but thats the real situation. as in other cases the culture is being changed because people are busy and because of urbanization it cant be stopped because the people now are greedy it starts from villages not from the cities.
I dont know of a solution, even if we came up with a solution people might call those who are trying to show them the right as fools or people who dont have anything better to do ..

That's why I said it's just like a sword bro

BTW, in western countries, a kiss is not a sexual symbol IMO. It's a symbol of love.

But in 3rd world countries like India, Sri Lanka, we believe a kiss as a sexual act / symbol.

So that's why we see that as a bad thing.

(Another matter of perspective)

Respect your view though!

hell yea, India has ideas that are really f***ed up! they hate public kissers but hell prostitution goes well there -- if its prostitution is ok for a certain amount but indians are abusing lil girls you have to browse some more to see those ! and oh they have a big deal in virginity too and hey they have prostitutes around the corner..im afraid that SL will become like that someday

There's no equality in Srilanka
Economically, culturally, mentally etc etc.
It's mixed up, like most of the 3rd world countries.

The behaviour of a person must depend on that own being, not on the culture.

Extremism is the main reason which cause cultural problems ( not only in Srilanka).

Western countries don't have limits.

There must be a balance and life must be equilibrated, people must be able to behave appropriated to the place and people.

SL tv must limit those idiotic programmes and put something educative on.

From morning to evening there are only programmes about make up, fashion and all, in the evening the "STARS" come out
Our country is already full of stars. I bet it'll become a constellation soon

And all those pathetic indian teledramas are destroying their brains.
The common knowledge is soo daamn low.

People don't know how to respect each other and some don't even know the meaning of the word "privacy".
