Traditions

SAMPLE ANSWER:

In my opinion, traditions are important and should be kept alive. First of all, things don't become traditions unless they tell us something important. If they didn't, they wouldn't survive long enough to become traditions. For example, there are traditional ceremonies in some cultures for when a child becomes an adult. They are important for both the child and the adults. Adults need to stop treating the person like a child, and the child needs to stop acting like one. The tradition helps keep the culture working by making sure adults and children know what to do. Without a tradition like this, children might never grow up and take responsibility for keeping the culture healthy.
