I would like to think that the current younger generation is more open minded than being conservertive...though some tend to stick to tradition n rules like glue.

With total conservertiveness as a person and as a society...they will never progress along with other societies and that's not good. Science always challenges religion..to think out of the box hence there has to be some balance between being open minded and being conservertive.

The 1st world countries practices open mindedness and it makes them progress though their public morale is down...but that can be fixed with teaching and public awareness. Third world countries like us tend to have the "stay away, this is my country so I will do what I want with it" attitude so they cannever progress since they're not open to other concepts on how to move forward.

Both sides have its pros and cons actually...and u can never stick to on side all the time as u will never know when the side you're on starts to go 'sideways'.
