Most people have forgotten the meaning behind traditional or religious festivals: during festival periods, people nowadays only want to enjoy themselves. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Some people feel that nowadays, hardly can we find people who remember the concept of religious festivals and

they believe, these people participate in these celebrations just for entertainment. While I agree with

idea that enjoyment seems to be the priority to the people, I disagree with that the meaning behind traditional festivals is forgotten by people. On the one hand, it is true that plenty of people sound very eager to attend the traditional events exclusively for having a pleasant time. A good example of

is Christmas which is preformed by a lot of people in all over the world and owing to it, most of the people are concerned with shopping, decorating their home and giving or receiving presents. So

as a result

For instance

in other words

, enjoyment is a person’s primary goal.

However

, in my opinion, people always have been aware of the meaning of religious and traditional celebrations. One of the clearest examples of

is that we can see a lot of courses in the schools which are taught many reasons of these events for children and shown them why we have performed and taken part in these occasions.

For example

, in late December, students sing Christmas songs, which have a religious content, every year.

For instance
