Assignment 3-2

The word ritual is another word for tradition. I believe that it is something that one’s practice repeatedly, whether it is annually, semiannually, monthly, weekly, or daily. Most of the time the different has some type of meaning or symbolizes something special. Also most rituals are like a habit it is automatically observed, it does take one to remind you or describe it is just something you do without putting too much thought in it. There are many rituals in our society that many people observe, one in particular is a marriage or anniversary, many celebrate the death of Jesus, also many people have church on Sundays, these different things are all rituals that I observe. In my family we really don’t have many different rituals from society. Although when someone in my family visit from out of town we always cook lots of food and gather around like we have never seen each other. We do a lot of bonding we get the chance to gather around. I think that after Christmas shopping is a very popular ritual. Every year people look forward to going shopping after Christmas because the sales are great. I would like for our family to have get together a least once a week to get around each other eat and enjoy each other’s company and once a month I would like for my family to go out and watch a movie, eat out, or just be with each other an outing.
