Family tradition, also known as family culture is a big part in family’s lives. Why do people do the same thing repeatedly? Most people do this because it is the way they were raised.
Tradition comes from the things we were taught by our parents. My mother taught me how to sew, and she learned from her mother. Everybody has family traditions whether it is going to your aunt and uncles house for holiday dinners, or going on a summer vacation every year to the family’s favorite camping spot. These traditions and the memories that follow whether they are good or bad will last a lifetime. These family traditions are often carried on throughout each generation.
The essay “Let Me Find My Own Husband” really stirred up a bunch of talk in the Discussion Board. Some my peer’s comments regarding this essay were strong such as Drew McElhaney’s. Drew replied to my post by saying, “Your second point is something that has always made me a little hot under the collar whenever it's brought up. I know it is a religious thing or whatever but I absolutely detest the idea of arranged marriages. Taking away somebody's freedom to such an extreme degree is completely unacceptable in my mind, especially when most arranged marriages that I hear about are rife with abuse and disrespect. It makes me furious to think that somebody, somewhere, thought that it was okay to completely strip someone of their rights in that way (don't even get me started on slavery). That is the kind of tradition that needs to be completely abolished from the face of the planet“.
