Culture is dead

The preservation of culture in Uganda has gone down in the previous years. This is manifested in the 21st century material children who can’t speak their native languages, dance their traditional dances and dress in their cultural wears. With this kind of behavior among the children and the upcoming generations, culture is looked at in a backward manner thus cultural's pride has been lost.
According to UNESCO (2014), no development can be sustainable without a strong cultural component. Yet, in Uganda, culture is still conspicuously underrepresented in the development equation. To ensure that culture takes its rightful place in development strategies and processes, UNESCO has adopted a three-pronged approach: it spearheads worldwide advocacy for culture and development, while engaging with the international community to set clear policies and legal frameworks and working on the ground to support governments and local stakeholders to safeguard heritage, strengthen creative industries and encourage cultural advancement.With kind of strategy culture will gain its pride once more.

However as UNESCO tries the A,B and C strategies its a responsibility for every Uganda to work out some thing that will restore culture among the generations to come as a belief culture begins in pearl of Africa.
Teach that little child the local language,style him or her in a cultural wear minus the khaki jeans  that are eating up the world.

A good cultured individual will always adopt so easily and friendly to different environments.
