efficient. While it has transformed many

aspects of life, technology also brings both

benefits and challenges.

Body:

One significant advantage of technology is

enhanced communication. With the internet

waste, and health issues like addiction and

social isolation.

drawbacks, such as privacy risks and health

concerns. A balanced approach is essential to

ensure that technology continues to improve

lives without causing harm.

The Impact of Technology on People, Culture,

and Customs
Introduction:

Technology has had a significant impact on people, culture, and customs. It offers

both advantages and challenges, influencing how we connect, communicate, and

celebrate traditions. While technology provides opportunities for sharing cultural

practices, it also raises concerns about its effect on relationships and mental

health.

Body:

One key benefit of technology is its ability to connect people globally, allowing for

10
the exchange of ideas and cultural practices. Social media and other online

platforms enable individuals to celebrate their traditions and learn from others,

fostering respect and understanding. However, excessive use of technology can

lead to less face-to-face interaction, which may negatively affect mental well-being

and social connections. In terms of celebrations and cultural events, technology

enhances experiences through virtual reality and digital tools, making them more

immersive and accessible.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, while technology brings numerous advantages, it is important to find

a balance. Using technology to support cultural exchange and enhance experiences

is valuable, but it is equally important to ensure that it does not replace real-world

interactions or harm mental health. Technology should be used responsibly to

respect and preserve cultural customs.

Discuss how technology influences culture and customs, highlighting its role in

sharing and celebrating traditions, promoting cultural exchange, and the

challenges it poses to traditional practices. Consider both the benefits and

drawbacks of technology on cultural heritage.:

Culture and customs are integral parts of every society, reflecting the traditions

and values passed down through generations. Technology has impacted how

cultures celebrate and exchange traditions, providing both opportunities and

Paragraph 3:

The connection between attitude and mental health is significant. A positive

mindset can greatly benefit mental well-being by reducing stress and promoting

happiness. On the other hand, a negative attitude can contribute to anxiety and

depression. Maintaining a positive, calm outlook helps individuals cope with

challenges and enhances their overall mental health, leading to a more fulfilling

and successful life.

Inference Question (2 marks)

13
How does the use of technology influence the way people celebrate cultural traditions, and what are the

potential effects on mental health?

The integration of technology has both positive and negative impacts on cultural traditions and mental

health. On one hand, technology facilitates the exchange of cultural practices, allowing people to share their

traditions with a global audience, which fosters understanding and respect. This exchange provides an

opportunity for people to learn from each other and celebrate diversity. However, technology can also

challenge traditional customs by reducing face-to-face interactions, which are crucial for maintaining strong

personal connections and mental well-being. While technology offers tools to support mental health, such

as apps for managing stress or anxiety, excessive reliance on technology may lead to social isolation,

highlighting the need for a balance between virtual and real-world connections

.Inference Question (2 marks):

Based on the text, How does technology impact cultural traditions and mental health, and why is

balance important in its use?

14
Answer: Technology helps people share and celebrate cultural traditions globally,

promoting cultural exchange and respect. However, it can also reduce in-person

interactions, which are important for mental health, potentially leading to social

isolation. While technology offers mental health support tools, balance is needed to

avoid negative effects.

This guidance can foster a deeper appreciation for their customs while navigating the modern

landscape.
