Traditional knowledge is the indigenous knowledge preserved by divergent local communities amassed through traditional and current daily activities. The foundations of this knowledge are embedded in communicating to community and its social, economic and cultural participations in local arena.
The word “Traditional knowledge” is defined in literature as: Traditional knowledge is a cumulative body of knowledge, know-how, practices and representations maintained and developed by peoples with extended histories of interaction with the natural environment. These sophisticated sets of understandings, interpretations and meanings are part and parcel of a cultural complex that encompasses language, naming and classification systems, resource use practices, ritual, spirituality and worldview.”
Traditional knowledge flourishes inside particular cultural groups or communities over a supposed span of periods and within recognized environmental and social arrangements. Simultaneously, these communities have received and moulded components form other knowledge organizations. The professionals of traditional knowledge seem to consider people, animals and other constituents of the universe as interlinked by a nexus of social relations and obligations. Traditional knowledge suffices the framework for many facets of day to day livelihoods and occupations. For instance:
- Hunting, fishing and gathering
- Preparation, conservation and distribution of food
- Agriculture and husbandry
- Location, collection and storage of water
- Coping disease and injury
- Interpretation of meteorological and climatic phenomena
- Manufacture of clothing and tools
- Construction and maintenance of shelter
- Orientation and navigation on land and sea
- Management of ecological relations of society and nature
- Adaptation to environmental/social change
However, these are conventional methods of our ancestors handed down to our generations after generations and these must be preserved to continue the maintenance and sustenance of our races.

John,What will save your son is your love and respect and communication and the examples you show him with *your* behavior. Do you truly want to demonstrate that his father is one secretly spying on him? The message--spoken or not--you are sending to your son is this: his own father does not trust him, his own father cannot sit down and tell his son his own feelings and fears, but instead spies secretly upon him. Learn to talk from your heart to his or you will have make much grief.

You cannot describe love as "a problem teenagers fall into". This completely downrates the meaning of love itself, not to meantion any teens (like myself) reading this. You act as if only adults will read this, and give absolutely no helpful imformation directly towards a teen or teenagers themself.I recommend adding a section to this that describes what love REALLY is, and how to deal with it, how it passes, how it stablizes, it's structure over time and how it grows, and many types of love.
