I think tradition has a big role in our society. Many people in our society continue traditions but have no

idea why they do it. Some examples of tradition in the United States would be Halloween and

Thanksgiving. Some of us know the meaning behind the traditions that we do, and some don't. I think

tradition is good to society even if we don't know the meaning behind them.

Halloween is a tradition that is celebrated every year in the United States on the thirty-first of October.

Children would all dressed up on that night and go trick-or-treating. They would go up to different

houses, ring the doorbell, say, "Trick-or-Treat", and receive their candy. The children would continue

to do this for the whole night till their bags were full of candy. I personally don't know where this

tradition had come from and where it had started. I think this tradition is good for society as it is a day

for people to give out candy to children.

Thanksgiving is another tradition that is celebrated every year in the United States on the fourth

Thursday of November. The term, "Thanksgiving", is self-explanatory. This holiday allows us to give

thanks for everything that we have received. Families gather together to give thanks, pray, and to

have a feast. Turkey is the main food prepared on Thanksgiving. I believe this tradition is beneficial to

our society. Sometimes we may not have the time to be able to give thanks or pray.

Tradition is important to our society. I think it helps connect all of us together. We are celebrating the

traditions as a society. Some of us may not know the meaning behind some of the traditions, but we do

know it helps connect us all together. Traditions give us the chance to do something with each other in

our society.
