Preserving Heritage

Heritage is one of the 6 main values that we should look into account even we're now in the modern era. Despite the complexities in life nowadays, it is fruitful to name the values explicitly. The importance of this is to refresh one's cultural background or to be familiar with them and make some distinctions to the present values of people these days.

Without heritage, we would lose touch with each other, with the past and with our sense of self. But should the old be venerated because it is old? Is this heritage "our" heritage? or is it the heritage of the POWERFUL?

The main idea behind preserving our heritage or culture is that values embodied in stories, objects, occassions and institutions all shape our identity and conduct.
