In many countries, too much money was spent by government and individuals on national celebration such as New Year and religious festivals. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

In many nations, administration and population consume a high expenditure on celebrating holidays and

festivals

.

However

, whether doing

this

can lead to many benefits becomes a heated debate. For my part,

although

there might be arguments supporting that it is wasteful to spend

money

on celebrating these

festivals

, I tend to believe that

this

action can be more beneficial for us. On the one hand, I think the government and

people

should spend the amount of

money

on celebrating.

Festivals

have a vital connection with the cultural identity of the

people

who celebrate them. In

this

sense, if one festival in a country disappears due to the lack of attention, the distinctive ways of lifestyles that are associated with it will

also

go extinct. As

such

, we will lose the rich cultural diversity in

this

country.

However

, government spend

money

to hold some events and inhabitants' costs on celebrating

festivals

are ways which can raise

people

’s awareness of cultural identity and cultural recognition. Meanwhile, not only do

people

feel a sense of happiness

,

but

also

multiculturalism in

this

society can be protected and promoted.

On the other hand

, it can be argued that celebrating these is a waste of

money

. The supporters of

this

view argue that with the development of technology,

people

can celebrate

festivals

in front of the screen on the internet. Government can save

this

money

and the

money

can be used for the construction of the infrastructures, meanwhile,

people

can buy more useful things rather than spend on celebrating.

However

, I think it will create a sad world, in which fewer and fewer

people

will take part in the celebration in the future. As a consequence, the

next

generation may forget the

festivals

and hard to find their own identity. To conclude, celebrating

festivals

is a meaningful as well as important behaviour.

Although

there are some downsides in the short term, there are actually more merits in the long term, which can lead to multiculturalism and prosperity of the society.
