After reading the "The Americanisation of Shadrach Cohen" by Bruno Lessing, I feel like I respect Shadrach Cohen so much. It is indeed very difficult today to hold strong to our original beliefs and not be influenced by new culture.
I empathise the sons of Shadrach Cohen. They were amazed by the new culture in America, thus began to move away from their traditional values bit by bit. Shadrach, on the other hand, was a father figure in his mid-years, so he was more committed to holding on to his original Jewish customs. My belief is that individuals have the rights to act in accordance with cultures that they think can reflect their individuality the best. Shadrach Cohen taught his sons by the way he managed the business and how he lived his life. Being true to his roots of and original Jewish ways, means he can respect himself as a person.
Actually this is a topic which can also be argued the other way round. For example, the Chinese culture had been spread cross the world, and those generations born overseas will not always adapt to the old Chinese traditions. The younger generations see value in a mix of the old and new cultures, but of course the elders will hope that they keep the tradition ways. Perhaps this is one of the effects of globalisation.
