The world is not at ease as it is, this is a common phrase since when analyzing various factors in the modern world, when we analyze various aspects of the modern day we can reveal the urge in many to go back to the uncivilized world or try to revive outdated traditions. There are no more traditional ceremonies or the natural flow of customs from one generation to another, no more songs and rituals.
Exile is a form of a punishment whereby one has to leave their homes to a city region or another state usually from threats of imprisonment or death if they return. Diaspora is a situation that forces an entire ethnic population to vacate their traditional homelands following threats, despite what may have led to exile; it is a painful experience as it breaks the bond of family or community.
Exile or banishment has long history as a form of punishment, in ancient Rome the senate had the power to send away individuals, entire families or countries in the event that they called a war declaration.
In modern times, people find themselves in self-induced Diasporas not necessitated by criminal acts or fear of persecution. Many do it as a means to better their lives, in search of job opportunities, the situation may not pass for personal exile yet it reduces individuals to this level. Contemporary lifestyles dictate employment as the only means of survival get formal education and work for the government until one is able to setup their own company or business entity.
Lose of customs as a source of the international law has for a long time been forecasted mainly for the importance customs constitute. It calls for articulation of binding theory that aims at incorporating the traditional and modern approach rather than advocating for one only.
In consideration of a tradition that needs reviving we focus on some of the disadvantages of being part of a broken tradition. As humans we have adopted the trend of survival for the fittest and morals have changed, more emphasis has been directed to daily hustle and forgotten our religious beliefs as we find ourselves in routine life that only targets on individual growth in materialistic and monetary basis. We in the modern world have cut off many forms of personal interactions and opted to dwell in our little circles of friends who have similar aspirations to ours ending up in broken family and relative ties.
Self-identity has disappeared such as clans without a trace leading to rootlessness as everyone strives to become their own entity resulting in never ending conflicts over small details.
Major changes within the human society marked by technological changes and followed by religion. When we changed from hunters and gatherers, to farmers it was the biggest technological advancement and Gods and Goddesses of fertility emerged. Now with the coming of microprocessor the world is changing faster it has become easier to connect with people of similar and different faiths.
Religions as well are being born such as the scientific religion. Children are able to access graphic content at a very early age, a demerit that would easily avoided
In the past three decades many Scandinavians have been trying to find roots within their own history and their small ancestry it is not new as they tried in 18th, 19th, and the beginning of the 20th century though in very limited and academic circles. Then it had not spread unlike now it has spread to ordinary people who live under different circumstances.
When it comes to female status efforts aimed at improving female status have taken center stage in the political discourse of the Middle East and other non-western countries from the nineteenth century. Modernization has been a great symbol for advocacy of women’s participation in the public sphere. Wrong interpretation of religion in the first place denied women some rights that fellow counterpart males enjoyed. In addition, in spite of technological advancement most girls still suffer brainwashed ideologies implemented to serve as protection of morals.
In the amazon forest, the warriors were women and in the African civilization, the same women carried out most of the now considered manly jobs. This is a clear indication that women once ruled until a point where everything took a turn say women got too cozy and their male counterparts outsmarted by them, yet the circle continues as now women champion for affirmative action and equal representation.
Being born in the modern period, we face the most materialistic of times with professional guardians with neither religion nor spiritual traditions, with a temporal interest in culture, art and history though from a contemporary perspective, no true roots with more focus on the present and the future but so little on the past. For most of us, there is no such thing as indigenous culture. We may have great intellectual culture but we all know we have lost something.
