The first objective of this paper is to demonstrate the false dichotomy which is frequently drawn between the concepts of ‘modernity’ and ‘tradition’. Modernity is in fact a value‐laden term which has an implication of positive evaluation of virtually any innovation, as opposed to tradition which, within this context, acquires a negative connotation of backwardness and unthinking conservatism. Were these notions to be accepted, progress would be identified with a ‘de‐traditionalisation’ of society. The opposing view is that tradition cannot be regarded as invariably hindering social change since, in a society with a long established civilisation, resilience depends on new developments being incorporated into traditional values (Szacki, 1969). At the same time, it is acknowledged that tradition can only survive the vicissitudes of time if it accommodates itself to the present (Smolicz, 1974a). Indeed, Marx himself believed that tradition had to change in order to survive—advice which was long disregarded by his followers in Eastern Europe. From this it follows that even a tradition that sprang out of revolution would need to change to ‘keep abreast’ of new developments
