They shape how people celebrate important events, interact with one another, and understand the world. Without traditions, societies would lose a key part of their identity. In Uzbekistan, Navruz is one of the most celebrated traditions. Every year on March 21st, families gather to cook sumalak, dance, and welcome the new season. This festival has been practiced for more than 3,000 years and is recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. However, globalization is changing traditional practices. Many young people prefer modern entertainment over folk music and traditional crafts. Experts warn that if communities stop practising their customs, these traditions may disappear within a few generations. Others argue that traditions must adapt to survive in the modern world. MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. Why are traditions important? A) They make people richer B) They shape community identity C) They replace education D) They prevent all change 2. What is Navruz?
