Cultural Assault

Cultural [সাংস্কৃতিক] assault [হামলা] means bad influence [প্রভাব] of foreign cultures on any native [দেশীয়] culture. Some cultures have profound [গভীর] impact [প্রভাব] on other cultures that might be harmful and then it will be a cultural assault.  In the present global world it is quite tough [কঠিন] to impede [প্রক্রিয়াকে বাধাগ্রস্ত করে] this cultural aggression [আগ্রাসন]. With the development of hi-tech media, it has been very easy for a society to be infiltrated [অনুপ্রবিষ্ট] by alien [বিদেশী] cultures. Many of the cultural elements [উপাদান] may be influenced in this way. Our Bangladeshi culture is mostly affected [আক্রান্ত] because of cultural assault of other countries. Our dress pattern especially, for teenagers and young generation has altered [পরিবর্তন] a lot. Now, people like pop song and band music sung in the western style and with western musical instruments. Besides, our eating habits are also being changed. Today, many of us like to take fast food outside home using chopstick, fork [কাঁটাচামচ] etc. Now, our young generations prefer [পছন্দ] celebration of 31^st December to that of Pahela Baishakh. They never mind celebrating the Valentine’s Day. However, to get rid of the invasion [আগ্রাসন] of alien culture, we should be very much strict to exercise our own culture and flourish our cultural elements. We can rightly boast [গর্ব] of an affluent [সমৃদ্ধিশালী] cultural heritage [ঐতিহ্য]. We have our own cultural traits [বৈশিষ্ট্যগুলো] and its identity. In addition to that, we have to accept miscellaneous [বিবিধ] alien cultures selectively, which will make our traditional culture more affluent.
