Old ways have their place in society at all levels. But it is also natural that the old must give way to new ways and emerging trends that apply to the generations that live now.
Historians are however keen to underscore the role and place of the past and how it does shape modern ways. In circumstances where the old ways are completely abandoned and replaced by the modern generation, anthropologists still endeavor to provide a comparison and evaluate if the abandonment of the doctrines of our grandfathers has given us better results or injured our harmony in the process.
