Letter to the editor

Dear Sir,

Nowadays the information navigates faster than ever, the people have the facility to travel and the segregation was erradicated years ago. This is the era of globalization, the political frontiers for us are just lines in a map of a system that must be administrated, there are no longer big differences in a person or another, at the end we are all humans, that is what our children must learn.

We cannot enclose our children to a culture and traditions that maybe for us meant something, but in today's world mean nothing. We have learns from wars and conflicts that a united world is the best manner to develop a better humanity in the future. The nations should teach traditions and culture related stories just as a way of comparing the world that was left in the past with today's world and as history.

Moreover children that focus just on the preservation on their culture are not open-minded to new ideas and plans. They just stay on the same social circle with the culture as a limitant to their learning of people and the world. They don't understand different points of views and opinions, finally stopping progress.

This is why authorities must encourage children to learn from other cultures and help them to create relationships that might produce new cultural traits. I'm not saying that the tradition must be forgotten, but that it is much better to create new customes based on the sincretismi of cultures.

Yours faithfully,
Pepe
