Tradition can strengthen a sense of identity and religion within the family and community, give them a sense of purpose, and serve as a reminder of the values of earlier generations. Traditions and rituals can be effective in a culture because they can serve a variety of important functions. By defining appropriate behaviour in specific circumstances, they help to govern behaviour. Finally, they convey a sense of continuity and identity by tying the past, present, and future together through shared customs and experiences. Every day, a person can follow a certain habit, such as saying a prayer before food or donning a particular outfit.  -Avanthiga

Traditions influences our daily lives, especially during our holidays. Holidays are often celebrated upon a cultural significance and has a strong meaning.

These certain values and aspects can also have an influence to individuals as they may adapt to some routines from their holidays into their daily life/routine.

Traditions and rituals can work in a culture because they can fulfil various vital roles. First, they foster social cohesiveness by offering a forum for individuals to share their experiences and build a feeling of community. Second, by offering a concrete embodiment of such principles, they assist to reinforce cultural norms and beliefs. Third, they assist to control behaviour by outlining how individuals should behave in certain situations. Finally, by connecting the past, present, and future via common practices and experiences, they give a feeling of continuity and identity. - Prithy

Traditions remind you of "home", whether that is your house or country. They remind you of how far the history that you belong to has come and if nurtured, how it will continuously impact the generations to come. With the many comforting aspects of traditions, there are also the negatives. Some tradition *can be very harmful/dangerous to the participants and even potentially outsiders that do not participate in said cultures/beliefs.

Tradition allows individuals a sense of community due to the ability of creating unity and strengthening people together. Traditions provide us a sense to connect and appreciate those who we hold close bonds to. It provides us the joy and comfort to bring families and friends together during the holidays in special ways (which are the traditions). An example would be celebrating Christmas, where during this holiday you get to see people you haven't seen in a long time by gifting a gift.

Every culture has a certain tradition that they follow. Whether that is Christmas, Easter, or  Hanukkah, etc, traditions are established in one's life. Depending on other people's views, someone's tradition from a cultural background that's not the same as yours can be considered weird just because it's something that your culture hasn’t practiced, or is new to you.  Traditions are put to honour cultures and represent values. - Sadie

Our most significant sector of the economy is agriculture. One-fourth of the people in our workforce are employed by it. Purchasing power and farm income fluctuations have an impact on the overall economic health of the country. Farm life is romanticised in the minds of city dwellers. Agriculture is important for Punjab, who rely heavily on farming as a source of income. Sara

Holidays influence and impact an individuals daily life because a lot of these  holidays in particular may require a lot of preparation, planning and expenses. These traditions may be annually and people look forward to these holidays; it may require them to eat vegetarian for a day or clean up the whole house or buy new decorations. Some of these holidays require people to take days off if they are not already a national holiday in Canada so this would interfere with work or school as the Canadian Culture may not recognize the specific holiday

The nature of cultural influence on manners is complex! Cultural values and beliefs shape the development of manners over time, as individuals learn what is expected of them in different situations. For example, in some cultures, it is customary to remove one's shoes before entering a home, while in other cultures it is considered impolite to do so. Similarly, different cultures have different expectations for table manners, such as using utensils versus eating with one's hands. However as societies evolve and change, so do the expectations around manners.

The function of manners is to provide a set of guidelines that govern social interactions and help individuals navigate different situations hence the enforcement of social norms. An example of this can be using polite language, showing respect to elders, and being courteous to others.
