A SMALL ESSAY ON IMPORTANCE OF FESTIVALS
Answers
Answer:
Importance of festivals
Human beings are social beings. We need social interaction like festivals with our fellow human beings. Nothing brings people together like festivals do. Festivals contribute immensely to feelings of social cohesion. Many such celebrations focus on cultural or ethnic topics and seek to inform community members of their traditions. They involve community and bring unity and harmony.
Festivals also stimulate economic activities since they provide employment opportunities to poor and deprived people. Many people earn a living by selling flowers, gifts and balloons for festivals.
Festivals have historically been a great source of entertainment especially before the advent of mass-produced entertainment. They divert peoples’ attention from their demanding daily chores of life and amuse them which is essential for mental and emotional well-being.
Festivals, whether traditional or religious, bring us together in a bond of love, irrespective of colour, creed, race and religion. I believes that festivals, like life, are gifts that need to be celebrated.
