Yes, I believe that the preservation of one's cultural heritage is worthwhile fighting. Because it makes up a large portion of a person's identity, it isn't sensible to lose one's heritage and a major part of their identity. By practicing your customs publicly or privately, a person is able to have at least somewhat of a connection to their culture. But, if someone were to lose their sense of belonging to a culture, then it would be very difficult for them to find their way back. The reason for this is that, a person is born with their own natural cultural background, and if they decide to let their identity go, then they give up the ownership of their identity or cultural heritage.
Which part of your experience could be useful for connecting with people from a different background and make communication easier?
Because my parents were Indian and were born there, the language, traditions, way of life, and structure of society influenced them.They passed this cultural heritage down to me. And this makes it much easier for me to be able to communicate with people from my background, then it would be with a person from another cultural background. The 1st language that I learned was Urdu, my mother and father's language. Because they spoke it at home, I quickly picked it up and because of the experiences I've had with trying to learn that language, I can not only communicate but also understand the ways in how my cultural society works.
