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?

It is thought that most

people

feel enjoyable when attending traditional or religious

festivals

without concern about their cultural values. I partly agree with

this

assertion;

however

, the meanings of these special

events

have been unforgotten. On the one hand,

people

attending

festivals

have the opportunity to release stress and entertain themselves.

Firstly

, festive

events

have historically been a great source of entertainment. As

festivals

are normally held after harvests or victories, attendants enjoy the leisure time and outcomes together.

Also

, a number of interesting activities take place in these

therefore

bringing joyfulness and relaxation to festival-goers.

Secondly

, many traditional

For example

, almost all citizens in four corners of the world leave everything behind, go back home and cheer up with their relatives and friends during the New Year festival.

On the other hand

, the majority of

people

still remember the value behind each meaningful event. Schools have offered lessons and extra-curricular activities with the purpose of educating children about meanings.

Furthermore

not only find excitement in festival occasions, but they

also

understand enormous traditional and cultural values about these

events
