Some people believe that celebrating personal events is a waste of money. Others feel that these celebrations play an important role in the lives of individuals and in society as a whole. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Family functions are celebrated across the globe from

last

many years.

However

, some are of the view that these occasions are squandering of

money

. While others feel that family celebrations play a vital role in the lives of individuals. I agree that celebrations bring

people

close to each other and

also

creates a strong sense of passing their traditional

values

to the

next

generation. To start with, few are of the view that those celebrating personal

events

are a complete waste of

money

because it is difficult to earn and save

money

.

In other words

, the monies can be utilized at a later stage to build a corpus for retirement or spend on any luxury items that their family desires.

Moreover

,

people

tend to forget the event over a period of time.

Thus

,

money

should be spent wisely and effectively to achieve their desires rather than hosting big personal

events

.

On the other hand

, there are the majority of the

people

believe that family

events

like birthdays or marriage bring

people

close to each other and

also

help to inculcate their

values

in the new generation. If these

events

are hosted there is an opportunity to meet relatives that are not in touch or stay far away.

Also

, the

values

that the new generation get to learn and see is important. I strongly agree with

this

view as it helps to add cultural

values

and builds a close-knit relation with the family members. In conclusion,

although

some may say that saving

money

is a necessity, celebrations help to meet and greet new

people

and

also

help to pass the cultural

values

. In my opinion, I strongly agree with the former viewpoint.
