Heritage is a widely used term that has come to stand in a very general way for everything that is inherited, including structures, objects, images, ideas, sentiments, and practices. Not all of this need be very old, although some of it is.
Distinctions are sometimes made between the cultural heritage and the natural heritage. All heritage, however, is constructed in the sense that people or communities have selectively assembled, defined, and validated those things that they wish to consider components of the heritage.
Scale is important here and the appropriation of a heritage is often linked to the creation of global, national, or local identity. Once defined, in whatever way, the material that is taken as being the heritage is often modified and exploited for educational, economic, or political gain, or simply as diverting entertainment.
Greetings to everyone!
What I would like to see is a bit more co-operation among our
people, that we can work together to build a strong and
positive society, to help the future generations.
Special greetings to my family and friends!
I wish everyone peace, love, luck, harmony, prosperity,
and most of all good health, and God's blessings!
