As cross-border tourism and digital media become increasingly widespread, many local traditional festivals are being assimilated into internationalized modes of celebration. Some argue that this convergence signifies a loss of cultural identity, while others view it as a natural outcome of cultural evolution. To what extent do you agree that the core significance of traditional festivals should be strictly preserved rather than adapted to the tide of globalization? Please elaborate on your stance and cite specific cultural or regional examples to support your argument.
