YOUNG Papua New Guineans must maintain their unique traditional culture and should not to be influenced by the onslaught of Western culture, a member of the Japan-PNG Association said in Port Moresby yesterday
“You must follow what the Japanese people did to keep their culture,” Irene Gashu told some 50 Grade 8 students of the St Joseph’s International Catholic School at Boroko East.
She said Japanese people were still maintaining their traditional culture despite working and living in the midst of the current strong western lifestyles.
“It is possible to keep the traditional culture and at the same time adapt the Western culture.”
Ms Gashu, who had visited PNG six times in the past years, had noticed that Western culture had strongly influenced young Papua New Guineans” behaviour and believed that the traditional culture was “rapidly disappearing”.
