Read the following passage about endangered languages and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
In recent years, social media platforms, particularly TikTok, have become unexpected allies in
preserving and promoting cultural heritage. Young content creators, dubbed "heritage influencers," are
revolutionizing how traditional customs and practices are shared with global audiences. These digital
ambassadors skillfully blend ancient wisdom with modern storytelling techniques, making centuries-old
traditions accessible and engaging for younger generations.
The impact of these cultural advocates extends far beyond mere entertainment. Through short-form
videos, they demonstrate traditional crafts, showcase historical sites, and explain cultural rituals that
might otherwise fade into obscurity. For instance, many Asian heritage influencers have garnered
millions of views by presenting traditional cooking methods, ancient art forms, and ceremonial practices
in an appealing, contemporary format.
What makes these digital preservationists particularly effective is their ability to bridge the
generational gap. By incorporating trending music, creative transitions, and relatable commentary, they
transform potentially dry historical content into compelling narratives. This innovative approach has not
only helped maintain cultural connections among diaspora communities but has also fostered crosscultural understanding and appreciation.
However, this modern approach to cultural preservation isn't without its critics. Some traditionalists
argue that simplifying complex cultural practices for social media consumption risks trivializing
their significance. Nevertheless, most experts acknowledge that these platforms provide an
unprecedented opportunity to keep cultural heritage alive and relevant in our digital age.
