Culture should help people celebrate breaks.
Endorsement:
Cultures should be shaped around the breaks in society. In fact they are shaped from the downfall of the culture they preceded. These cultures apply earlier knowledge that led to the downfall and hope to curb their own civilizations downfall. America celebrates the separation or break from Great Britain every July 4th. Our current culture specializes in celebrating events that have changed and shaped individuals and societies breaks. Culture plays direct influence on breaks. Some cultures are more open to certain events, while others are more reserved or have different traditions. We should uphold and hope that cultures begin to and or continue the celebration of breaking because each break little or small impacts the individual citizen’s life. Depending on the culture one grows up in how they perceive breaks are different. For example, the breaking of skin, getting your ears pierced, for many young girls in America marks their ascent into their early teens or in their view adulthood. However, in some cultures such as Indian, young children get their ears pierced extremely early on in childhood. Some children even get their ears pierced when they are still babies. It is necessary for a culture to celebrate breaks to encourage life’s progression. Culture thrives of these breaks, or in turn breaks and collapses. By celebrating and accepting different breaks to the individual and society a culture becomes stronger and more prominent. People learn to accept and move on but also remember and learn from the experience they previously had.
