Rites Of Passage And Ritual

A lifetime is divided by many years, years into days, days into hours, and hours into minutes. But out of these minutes, some stand out the most making our most memorable of our memories. Whether you felt joy, anger, or sadness, it is the way that we felt at that second what makes us remember that moment and what made us change from who we were.

I never realized before this class that these changes in my life were rites of passage every time that I was getting older as a person.Rites of passage have been in my life ever since I was born until now because as a child I transitioned from a fetus to a fully born baby,every single birthday that I ever had and continue to have,and even in the future when I get married or even when I die.All of my rites of passage were celebrated with a form of celebration as every birthday was celebrated with a birthday party, my graduation for both middle school and high school as I went through the ceremonies and parties afterward,and for my religious moments when I would have a celebratory mass and a celebration with gifts after each of all my events.Rites

Rites of passage are key aspects of every culture. According to Window on Humanity written by Conrad Phillip Kottak, a rite of passage is an individual or collective transition from one stage in life to another that involves a change in social status.

To celebrate finishing the nursing program I attended a pinning ceremony which is a ritual where the nursing graduates get a pin that represents the completion of the education required to sit for the nursing boards. This pinning ceremony was more important than walking at graduation. The majority of my classes did not attend the graduation ceremony but all attended the pinning.
