Sudanese an ethnic minority on the island of Jave celebrate traditional planting festival. Infer why might it be difficult for an ethnic minority to keep alive their traditions?

Answer 1

One reason why it might be difficult for an ethnic minority to keep alive their traditions is due to assimilation and acculturation. As ethnic minorities interact more with the dominant culture, they may adopt the practices and traditions of the majority group, leading to the erosion of their own cultural practices. Additionally, economic and social pressures may also play a role in forcing ethnic minorities to abandon their traditions in favor of more mainstream practices. Furthermore, political oppression and discrimination against ethnic minorities may also hinder their ability to openly celebrate and maintain their cultural traditions.
