Some people think that spending a lot on holding weddings, birthday parties and other celebrations is just a waste of money. Others, however think that these are necessary for individuals and the society. Discuss both views.

People have different approaches towards the extent of expenditures on social gatherings including weddings. Proponents believe that

happiness

needs to be celebrated through luxurious events.

However

, opponents consider it as an unnecessary expense. In my opinion, these events should be low on budget to avoid competition.

Firstly

, people organize lavish events with expectation to gain

happiness

and create memories.

For example

, people in rural India save

money

throughout life to spend on dowry and wedding festivities. Grand celebrations in

such

events are considered as part of tradition and respect. Hosting expensive parties are praised by guests, which is a source of

happiness

for organizers. Since occasions including wedding are considered as long sighted

happiness

,

therefore

people are adamant to spend a huge chunk of

money

on them.

Secondly

, heavily budgeted events are considered as waste of resources by many. People spend aggressively on celebrations and

this

money

can be used for many important situations.

For example

, India's wealthiest person spent over US$ 100 million on his daughter's wedding.

This

money

could have been saved up for much more critical purposes including the current pandemic. The

money

could have been used to help those who have lost their jobs.

Hence

,

money

saved from spending on events can be used for turbulent times. In my opinion, expenditure on events leads to competition. Socializing events and customs are part of every

community regardless

Accept comma addition

community, regardless

of demographic and geographic differences.

Therefore

, being a

community

member it becomes customary for the disadvantaged members of the

community

to follow same.

For example

, it is a practice in conventional communities

such

as those belonging to India to award their daughters a car on their wedding.

This

practice burdens economically weak society members to follow the same tradition. If they don't comply,

thenthen

subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)

then

then then

they are shamed by other

community

members.

Therefore

, to weed out

this

competition, it is necessary to relax expenditure on social events

such

as weddings. To conclude, unusual spending on events that are meant to socialize and cherish will be a wastage of

money

. People perceive inclusion of

money

in events as the foundation of

happiness

.

Furthermore

, it creates a race amongst people, which distract them from important elements of life including health and education.
