Influences on Belizean Youths

Influences on Belizean Youths As we the year passes by it is less unwashed to see any youth showing how proud they are of their stopping point by dressing and practicing the aspects that their nuance represents. It is more common to see the influences that some opposite countries have brought into our region and which have ca utilize a cultural era real curiously in the lives of us the young one. However, society tends to see these changes and take in mind as it doesnt affect our origins and from whither we initiated.Presently today it is really rare to see any youth dressing according to their culture, audition to cultural harmony and eating cultural sustenance that once used to be the delicacy and cuisine of Belize. For the way of dressing of the youths in Belize, at that place is more skinny jeans and miniskirts than garifuna headbands and maya mipils. The change state used here in our verdant has been influenced by the clothing weared in the United States or other contradictory countries. It is visible anywhere because the only ones wearing cultural dressings are the patriarchal who live in villages but rarely anyone living in towns and in the city.At school you derriere see that e actually youth go forth be dressing fashion according to other societies of the unlike. Now a days young girls and boys only speak about Emporio Armani and E- hardy. At stores you can see that there are only crucial clothing brands on sale of which the designers are abroad and very famous. Music plays an important role for a young adult because that is the way they identify themselves. In this generation most youngsters will listen to hip-hop, rap, regeaton, rock, reage, etc. but for sure never any Rancheras. The closest cultural music found in our country is Punta.Closest I say because today Punta has been mixed with foreign music in order to form Punta rock. The present artists in our country would be Supa-G, Gilhary 7 and Youth Connection Band, which all of them base their music in Punta. Also the influence of music can be seen in our same Belizean arists. Those who participate in Duets and K-TV Latino would only perform foreign songs and never any cultural presentation. It is sadly that our most famous artist, Andy Palacio, who stuck to his culture and sang in Garifuna his Punta songs, has passed away. Will there be any other who would want to follow Andys example?Even the food here in Belize has changed as the years passes by. The influences in Belizean diets comes from England, the US and Mexico especially for the youths. At school you can see that students prefer to buy food that is not Belizean such as enchiladas and quesadillas. The most common Belizean cousin that has not muddled popularity in our country is the rice and beans although some still prefer Chinese burger or fry chicken. It is true that foreign cousins have a scrumptious flavor and are very appetizing but so is the food prepared that once our elderly used to co ok for us, being light speed% Belizean.Belize is a very beautiful home land for us Belizeans and we should appreciate such heritage given to us by our ethnic groups. It is very clear that our culture is being left behind and that the influences of other countries are impacting our youths. The way they dress, the music they listen to and the food they eat all can be seen that there is foreign influence. Belizean youth must not immobilise that they form part of an ethnic group and that they represent the future of Belize so if they forget their origins so will Belizean history.
