I think modernization of our country is important for us to continue our life. The UAE modernizes every day and grows in different ways. On the other hand we must not forget our traditional culture because we believe what Sheikh Zayed said” A nation without a past has no present or future “. In general I think all people who live in the UAE take care about their heritage. For example, there are many heritage villages in different emirates and they do many activities in special days like, national day to remind the young people about their heritage and give them information to let them have knowledge about the traditional culture. I think activities like, programs on the TV and activities in the heritage villages will help the young people to know more about their past.

I think it is very important to keep our traditional culture or behavior and it should be apart of our life. On the other hand it is great to be innovative in our life to feel that we have grown up and so can have more freedom.

So people try to keep the traditional values and still develop. Also talking with grand parents keeps people informed about our traditional life. National Day is the best way to keep us remembering traditional culture.

I think the comparing will be the good things which will encourage the young people to understand their heritage.
