According to an article in Berita Harian online 2016, 48% people in Malaysia belief

in traditional beliefs . Most of them are from an older generation or a Boomer and the other
half are adults and childrens. This means that, there are many teenagers out there does not
involved in traditional beliefs. Traditional beliefs are widening the gaps between generations.
In my opinion, I partially agree with the statements that traditional beliefs widening the gap
between generations because some young generation does not understand really well about
traditional beliefs, young generation also not believe the truth of traditional beliefs and an
older generations can teach young people about traditional beliefs more detailed.

First and foremost, traditional beliefs can widening the gaps between generations
because there are some young people out there still not exposed with traditional beliefs or
ritual from their parents or family. For example, most of the teenager’s parents were too
busy with their works or carrier, so the parents rather spent their time with works instead of
telling or explained more about traditional beliefs to their children such as ‘don’t singing
during cooking’ rules. As a result, young generations don’t know about traditional beliefs
really well meanwhile the older generations were always exposed with the beliefs from their
parents. As a result, this situations will widening the gaps between young and older
generations.

Other than that, traditional beliefs also widening the gaps between generations
because most of the young generations does not believe the truth of traditional beliefs
because they thought that traditional beliefs are such taboo things. Furthermore, they also
think that the beliefs are such a nonsense and superstitious to believe in this modern day. For
example, rule of never swipe a floor during celebration day because this actions may bring
you a bad luck to your life. However, most young teenager don’t belief this rule because they
think the rule such a ridiculous and not logic meanwhile, the older generations beliefs that
rule. So it is clearly shown that traditional beliefs will widening the gaps between
generations.

Finally, traditional beliefs also reduce the gaps between generations, it is because an
older generations can explain to young people about traditional beliefs more details.. In case
there must be a young generation that curious about the traditional beliefs and rules. Then, an
older generatios will tell them about the beliefs more detailed such as the history behind the
beliefs or the consequences that we will face if we break the beliefs or rules. In my opinion
this will also reduce the gap between generations.
In conclusion, traditional beliefs can widening and also reduce the gaps between
generations.
