1. What do most festivals seem to have in common Why do you think people around the world find these things important
Festivals most often revolve around building family and community ties. Festivals are rarely celebrated alone. And even when someone is alone during a festival, the festival reminds them of people who used to be in their lives, but who are no longer present. This is important because people are at heart social creatures who desire to have relationships with others and to be a part of the group.
The spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in most festivals .

I feel sad, because these customs are part of our culture and history. They make our lives more interesting, and they remind us who we are.
