Should we respect tradition? Still believe in science?

"Tradition" and "science" are not contradictory. "Tradition" is not necessarily unscientific, and science is not necessarily not carrying forward tradition. Never stereotype "tradition" and "science", for example, when it comes to tradition, it is considered as ignorance, backwardness, conservatism and superstition; Speaking of science, it is civilized, advanced, innovative and authoritative; Being obsessed with the word "science" is not a kind of superstition.

In short, we should talk about the matter. Personally, I think that both science and tradition should aim at the harmony between people and between people and nature. After all, "reciprocity, harmony is precious." Science is a ritual, and tradition is also a ritual. Who is better?

At the family level, what you need to do is to find a good result acceptable to everyone.

You can choose some to respect their views and some to apply your own. There is nothing wrong with obeying others' words and not obeying others' words on the premise of ensuring the result. If this matter is not important to you, you have no mission to change their ideas, and there is nothing wrong with compromise. It's hard to reason at home, so I just want to solve things.

On the other hand, if something is important to you, you just need to stick to your scientific point of view. There are many kinds of persistence. Doing one thing in your own way without telling your family is also a compulsory course for many people. If the subject wants to use this as a guide to discuss macro-tradition and science, there will be more content.

From the logical and part-of-speech point of view, "tradition" belongs to the general neutral word. Tradition itself contains both scientific and non-scientific contents, and is not binary opposition. Therefore, whether to respect the tradition should be analyzed according to the actual situation.

Generally speaking, the discussion on this issue can be carried out from many different levels. So the main task at present is to find a way to figure out what you want.
