Importance of keeping traditions

Why is it important to keep our own traditions,as well as learn about foreign traditions? 

As far as I am concerned, I firmly believe that tradition is a very significant factor of a country to continiue to exist in the future as it works like a reminder of who we are and what our culture is.. Traditions make up a part of history of each country which describes their residents. Keeping traditions has many positive aspects. First of all people come closer and the gain information about their ancestors and their lifes. What is more people feel secure and they are keen on, on this way of living.Finally it is an significant idea to learn about foreign traditions as well as our country's traditions. Learning about the culture, the way of living, the customs and the history of other lands can be beneficial for you in the future.
