Cultural celebrations have been a key part to advancing mankind. Throughout history, they have been ways to express similarities between each other about cultural and ethnic backgrounds. For example, China and Japan may not have the same opinions on every thing (since they aren't the friendliest countries to each other), but they both celebrate Lunar New Years and have previously bonded over the festival. This is just one of the countless examples of cultural celebrations brining together different groups of different ethnic background. Researchers estimate that about 50,000 different cultures exist worldwide and these celebrations are crucial to their existence and differentiation. Without cultural celebrations, there would be no major ways to tell these people apart. They differentiate us. Some early cultural celebrations trace back to early Alaska where the Makah people celebrated in prayer for a good hunt while whaling. This celebration helped them get food to survive. Form all this, you can see why cultural celebrations have been so important and why people have done them for so long.
