dear Frnd,we can look to india as a bad example: india has kept none of the positives of its traditional culture while keeping many negatives such as sexism and castes. many indians speak ENGLISH better than their home languages, such a shame.
This is a democracy , change doesn't come by quickly becoz it is not forced upon ppl. But when it does come it stays put. I am in no way trying to bring up the "we have democracy and you don't " argument here. But in a democracy , more so in a highly heterogeneous one like ours , change comes about slowly becoz it has to come by thru concious choice of 1 billion indiviidual ppl. Indian state has never tried to keep the castes and sexism intact. However it has not done anything to counter it(no- not becoz it wants to let it continue). There is an inherent lethargy in a system like that of ours. That is why we are called the elepahant.
