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.

Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly common for
people
 to celebrate personal
events
. Some
people
 think that celebrating a particular event is just a waste of
money
,
while
 others argue that
celebrations
 have an important role in human lives. In fact, I side with those who believe that
celebrations
 play an important role both in individuals and society. On the one hand, celebrating private event need a huge amount of
money
. It means that citizens need to allocate some budget for celebration from their cost of living.
For instance
, citizens need a budget to buy food, drinks, and ornament for parties, and book the place where personal
events
 will be held.
However
,
this
 event does not have any significant effect on
people
. They just have fun with relatives and
friends
 for a day. It is just a waste of
money
.
Moreover
, the budget of the private
events
 will be more useful if
people
 spend it on their long-term goals
such
 as education or investing in shares.
As a result
, citizens can improve their lives.
On the other hand
,
celebrations
 bring
people
 together. By holding particular
events
,
people
 will invite their family and
friends
. It will give them the opportunity to meet their relatives and
friends
 that are rarely seen.
Nevertheless
, it will strengthen their bond. For illustration, a busy son will have a great conversation with his family at his party.
Consequently
,
people
 will keep in touch with their relatives and
friends
.
To sum up
,
although
celebrations
 need a huge of
money
 that can be seen as a waste, it is beneficial to strengthen the bond with society.
Therefore
, I am firmly convinced that celebrating private
events
 is a wise decision to bring
people
 together.
