I have always believed that art is a highly potent tool to drive social change, and this is one of the finest examples of this ideology
Diversity makes the world beautiful and so culture must be jealously safe guarded by all. While some items of culture and tradition can be improved on, the core values should not be totally lost as these are the things that define peoples.
Sadly, modernization and globalization are slowly eradicating important items of different cultures around the world, especially languages.
SOTS II is preaches a fusion, a perfect balance between technologically influenced globalization and retention of core cultural values.
