A culture is like a tree. Some trees grow deep roots and can survive storms, droughts, or even fires. Others have shallow roots and fall over when the wind blows too hard. A resilient culture has strong roots, traditions, values, and people who keep it alive even when times get tough. A fragile culture might not have those deep roots, so it can break more easily.
Examples
- A family that keeps celebrating holidays even if they move to a new country is like a resilient culture.
- A village that stops singing their songs and forgets their stories is becoming more fragile.
- When people learn a new language but still speak the old one at home, it helps keep their culture strong.
