Conclusion and Reflection

CONCLUSION

Although my presentation of these cultural phenomena is somewhat simplified and schematic, my blog aims to draw attention to a few issues that seem relevant to those who are interested in formulating new policy for the preservation of our historical and cultural heritage. In the first place, I argue that we should to give importance to the use of this heritage in such a way as to ensure that the "dead work" that has been invested in it can be transformed into new symbolic investments. Secondly, we should democratize collective cultural heritage in two ways: by eliminating the material and educational barriers that exclude the vast majority of the population from gaining access to cultural goods that tend to be monopolized by the dominant segments of society; and by preserving and disseminating the cultural work of the working class, making sure that members of this class have access to the tools required for this work, for communicating it to society as a whole and for transmitting it to future generations.

REFLECTION

We have learn much about many cultures about different tribes in Malaysia, particularly in Sarawak and Sabah. We learn that we should all preserve the culture of all the tribes. The Senoi tribes live in the central part of the Malaya Peninsula, and consist of six different groups, the Semai, Temiar, Mah Meri, Jah Hut, Semaq Beri and the Cheq Wong and have a total population of about 60,000.

To ensure that we uphold our cultural heritage, we must take pride in national culture and maintain cultural continuity from generation to generation and between one social class and another. The modern society like any other society in the world is inseparable from its cultural heritage, for its history is recorded and embedded in its culture. The clarion call is, let’s speak culture, wear culture, preach culture, preserve culture and above all appreciate our God given culture.
