Tradition And Norms Of The Indonesian Culture

Without it, we would always act the same. Not many people would be different. The traditions we bring help other people be different. We learn from each other and find something new that’s fun. Traditions show what was important to others before us, which helps the new generations learn more about themselves, and where they came from. Sometimes it can be a very weird tradition, but every activity has a certain meaning that most times people don't get, beliefs are almost the same way. My family likes to be very religious, and sometimes I don’t enjoy it. The way I like to enjoy things like traditions is to know my past and to always embrace what I have. If we had not remembered the past through writing, or just the stories we tell through generations, we wouldn’t be different from each other. We learn from different cultures to find what our true selves are like. Maybe the person, learning the other culture, would like what they do or maybe even what they eat. We would make the same mistakes over and over again because the past isn’t past without the writings or stories. Traditions tell the stories we have to know to not forget the past, or the

Traditions have been around since the beginning of time. Traditions are passed down from generation to generation, things that we are a custom too such as Fraternities and Sororities and in High School the one thing that was a tradition for us was Homecoming and Spirit Week. Throughout my high school years, we have tons of traditions for example we have spirt week that leads up to Homecoming. Some of the things that we did for our Sprit Week was dressing up in our favorite sports team or dressing tacky which is called Wacky Tacky Day. Wacky Tacky Day is where you dress up in the tackiest stuff you can find in your house and hopefully you’ll make it in to the year book for spirt week.

Culture may have its sources in different aspects of human life, as: language, nationality, education, profession, group, religion, family, social class, corporate culture. All these elements influence every member of a society and thus, culture is learnt and transmitted to others.

It is clear that cultural tradition delivers set foundations into a person’s lifetime, giving identity and sense of belonging to a person and their social group. It allows individuals to feel part of something and understand their ancestral values and customs. Several people believe that it is very important to preserve cultural traditions because they feel as if tradition is the main enabler to a shared identity and to a construction of social consistency and unity. People also believe that conservancy of cultural traditions forms exclusive bonds within members of the community, holding people with the same background together to pass on cultural values, and excluding those who aren’t part of the culture. They think that the actual preservation of traditions means not to change the customs and traditions, to not grow from our culture, for example not learning another language because you already know your mother tongue. It is a way to group up and tag everyone in a form of an alliance, and to have better organization and awareness of where everyone comes from.

Culture is a set of ideals and values about life that are widely shared among people and that guide specific behaviors. Differences, as well as similarities, can be seen when comparing world cultures. We communicate with each other, we feed ourselves with food, and when we sleep we often dream. However, we speak different languages, eat different types of foods, and dream different ways. We call these cultural differences. What causes them is not always obvious to the ordinary person (Nancy). I feel culture is what really sets us apart from each other and what makes us unique as individuals and families.

Culture is one of the most relevant elements that can define not only a society but also a country’s cumulative beliefs and system. Often noted as the origins of a country, culture is definitive in the sense that it harbors all the elements that can provide justification on the traditions and norms set by the society for its members. More often than not, the society members follow norms in order to create a harmonious community, and the beliefs and the traditions serve as the poles or grounding rules for each member to follow. Culture is very dynamic in the way that it can change over a variety of foreign influences but what is permanent about it is that original elements about it often lingers with the influences, therefore making it multi-faceted and broad. More importantly, culture serves as an individual and unique trait each society has, and therefore sets it apart from other countries and other societies.

Culture is a very vital part of the world as we know it today. There are very many different cultures all around the world. In the USA, we have a mix of all the different cultures and and family values. From the original Native Americans that inhabited America to the Middle Eastern people in Afghanistan. These people groups have brought their language, food, values, and customs with them.

Culture is a large part of every person’s life, it is what makes each person unique. Within culture there are many aspects such as food, music, clothing, tradition, and many more. Since culture makes up such a large part of our day to day lives, it is almost always responsible shaping and informing our view on the world.

In my culture traditions are very important in your life. For example, one tradition that has been in my family for many years is going to the park and celebrating Easter with the family. We barbecue, play sports, and then at the end of the day we have an Easter egg hunt for the young children. Another tradition of ours is to do a Christmas Eve dinner at my great grandma’s house. During this event you are with your relatives and close friends for dinner and for a social gathering until the early morning of Christmas day. Many of our traditions revolve around getting all of our family together and spending time with them.

Traditions are common part of culture and religion in the world today; almost everyone has a tradition that they follow. The traditions you practice can be new and only just have started with your generation or the generation before yours. The traditions could also have been old, spanning many generations before your generation and your parents’ generation. Some traditions could be small and last for a few generations; an example of this would be like a yearly family cookout. One would invite their families to their house or local park to have fun and eat. It could be something small

Tradition is an answer to how peoples live their lives. For many it is a social norm, how they have lived culturally for several generations. Despite the significance of tradition in many societies, it’ can still be very harmful to the people involved. Tradition doesn’t necessarily have to have a positive feature for many folks. In the end tradition could cause more harm than it is meant for good. Thus it is really important to change traditional values of communities to improve the quality of life for many people. In the short stories “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson and “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernando Tellez tradition can be shown to be very submissive, that is stopping people from making any changes in ending harmful traditional

A tradition is known to be a spread of rituals or beliefs passed from generation to generation that can vary from family to family. Traditions are meant to not lose the culture within oneself but while at it, a tradition can interfere with personal interactions. Not all traditions are worth keeping when one's satisfaction is taken away. For example, in the book “Like Water for Chocolate” by Laura Esquivel, it can be noticed how traditions can go as far to an extent.

Cultural traditions represent a conceptual piece of our culture; tradition is passed down from generation to generation which brings families and communities together for holidays, birthdays, and many other celebrations; sharing a tradition with different people give them an insight of how others live. As Lisa Rathje mentioned in her article Shaping Community, she stated: “The role of tradition in fostering one’s own cultural identity and in strengthening the networks of our many communities is demonstrated throughout Making It Better”(Shaping Community, Pg.3). Without tradition within a culture, society wouldn’t be able to separate themselves from the norms. Society wouldn’t be able to identify themselves and show people how they are different

Traditions are really important in my family it brings us all together in a fun way. One of my families many traditions is on the Fourth of July we have a big party for my mom’s side of the family. We get together and we have hot dogs, burgers,and chips. We play volleyball, kickball ,and talk till it’s dark then set off fireworks.

Culture is not only a reflection of current social phenomena, but also is a long period of accumulation and the formation of the creation and development of the historical heritage, such as religions, beliefs, lifestyles, values, and so on. Therefore, different cultural backgrounds will
