Most nations around the world have at least some, or
possibly many, old buildings such as temples, churches and houses in their
cities, villages and surrounding areas which have historical significance. In
my opinion, it is very important to maintain these, but this does not mean
progress should stop.
Preserving certain old buildings is
important for several reasons. Firstly, these structures provide an insight
into the history of our countries, showing us how people many centuries ago
lived their lives. Without them, we could only learn by books, and it would
undoubtedly be sad if this were the only way to see them. Many of these buildings
are also very beautiful. Take for example the many religious buildings such as
churches and temples that we see around the world. Not only this, but on a more
practical level, many of these buildings provide important income to a country
as many tourists visit them in great numbers.
However, this certainly does not mean that
modernization should be discouraged. I believe that old buildings can be
protected in tandem with progress. For example, in many circumstances we see
old historic buildings being renovated whilst maintaining their original
character, and being used for modern purposes. Also, in no way does history
hinder progress, and in fact it is the opposite. By studying and learning about
our history, we understand more about the world we live in, and this helps us
to build a better future.
To conclude, I believe that it is very
important to protect and preserve old buildings as we can learn about our
history as can others from other countries. Such knowledge can also help us to
understand how to modernize our countries in the best way.
