問題：Should more be done to preserve Japan’s traditional culture?

 

イントロ

Although some cultures are in danger, I think that we need to preserve the traditional culture.
I have some reasons to support my opinion.

ボディ１

The cultures are what our ancestors have built in this long history, and that’s our responsibility to convey them to the next generation. I feel like it is disrespectful to our ancestors to ignore the possibility of the elimination.
 

ボディ2

In order to preserve culture, what we need is to the education.
Especially among the young people, there are few opportunities to learn about the traditional culture.
If we have more chances to know, the connection between us and the culture will be made and the successors might be found in the process.

結論

Although some cultures are in danger, I strongly believe that we should preserve Japanese traditional cultures.

質問

・Do you think that the effect of the western culture have been negative or positive overall?

 
I think that we have received positive effect.
In addition to the traditional culture, the modern Japanese culture is also highly recognized such as Japanese anime.
I think that the effect is what makes our culture more valuable.
 
 

・Do you think that preserving traditional culture is the government responsibility?
 

Absolutely, yes.
As I said in my speech, the culture is what our ancestors have built for a long time.
Also, the key is the education, and the government decides what should be taught.
So I strongly believe that is the government responsibility.
 
 
 
 

・Do you think we should invest more in technology rather than the preserving the past?

I strongly disagree.
It is an arrogant and disrespectful attitude like the science is better than the culture because the science is a part of our culture, and the future consists of the past.
We need to try our very best to preserve our culture.
 

・Do you think that more effort should be made to preserve endangered languages in other countries?

 
Definitely! It is not even the question to me because our culture is based on our language and losing a language means losing our culture. We have an obligation to preserve our culture and convey it to the next generations. So, no matter it takes, we should preserve it.
