Tradition+KJ

Traditions are defined as a handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, ect. In the U.S., there are many traditions that we celebrate and we don't even know where they come from. Traditions like

Halloween, Black Friday, and the Tooth fairy are examples of traditions we celebrate in the United States. I would think that traditions could be good and also be bad. Traditions could also effect society and other do not

very much.Traditions could be positive or negative, but I believe most of them are very important to many people.

One of the traditions that I am amazed by the most is Black Friday( November 28, 2014). Black Friday is one of those traditions that help the society very much. It is the biggest sale of the year for most stores and it is

usually good for buying early Christmas gifts with the big sales. People are so determined to get or buy the items they want, they would usually camp outside of the store or mall in which they want to go or fight for what

they want with other people with the same desire. But, Black Friday is a good day for the society because of the big sales and bargains that the customers could buy so there will be more money for the society. It could

be very dangerous to go Black Friday shopping too. There are many incidents in the United States where customers of the Black Friday sales would have their newly bought items taken away and the person beaten up

or possibly killed. Even with the pros and cons of Black Friday, I believe we should still know the cause of the holiday.

One of the traditions that many has heard of but do not follow it today is the tradition of the tooth fairy. The Tooth Fairy is after you lose a tooth, you would put your tooth that was taken out under your pillow and you

would receive money in exchange for the tooth. I believe this is a good and bad tradition because of the money involved. it could be that come people could depend on the "Tooth Fairy" for money, so the children could get

some pocket money. But, there could be a good reason why there is the Tooth Fairy. The Tooth Fairy could be a way for getting children to pull out their teeth without complaint or hesitation for the reward of money in the

night.

My last tradition is Halloween (October 31) Trick-or-Treating. Halloween is one of the weird traditions that almost nobody knows but everybody does because of the free candy you could receive. Trick-or-Treating is a way

that people could celebrate the original holiday that first came from the people called the Celts. Halloween is good as well as bad when you celebrate with spooky decorations and candy. I believe that since everybody buys

candy and decorations for the trick-or-treaters, the society would do very well with the money. Halloween could be good or bad because of eating too much candy after the tradition and the many murders and other incidents

that also happen on Halloween.

Traditions, in my opinion, could be very good and very bad. Society could depend on the traditions to raise more money for the United States. Traditions are just holiday like times where we celebrate or do

something special because it is just a tradition. There are many traditions we celebrate in the United States, but we only celebrate it only because of of their benefits and other reasons. I would hope that people would know

where each tradition came from because there are some traditions that we know nothing about.
