QUES:4 you are abc of class XI write an article on the blind aping of western culture by the younger

Ans: APING THE WESTERN CULTURE

it is now more than sixty years when the british left our country and we became a free nation but sadly , the west still dominates our way of life and thinking the younger generation apes everything that is typical of the western culture /they ape their fashions in dress, their music dances and even their habits food. by doing so ,they think they can give an impression of being modern .but to me the fact is quite the opposite by aping western culture they do nothing but give an impression of being thick -headed clowns, they have gone so crazy for the western styles that they have forgotten all about the valentine’s day they would hardly ever visit a temple, but would never miss visiting a bar or coffee house. they prefer fast and junk foods to the fresh and pure foods cooked at home, helos, and byes have taken the place of respectful namasteys in the winds the younger generation must remember that the sun (the symbol of all lights and knowledge ) rises in the east and sets in the west
