In your lifetime you can experience, watch, and even help with a ceremony. Ceremonies are formal occurrences for religious and public occasions; usually to focus on one specific thing. There 's basically a ceremony for about everything. Ranging from a Christian baptism to an AVID induction ceremony. There 's a huge difference in experiencing, watching, and helping in a ceremony. For example: My AVID induction ceremony, being an AVID student I would either have to be in the ceremony or help. If I were a new AVID student I would be being inducted into the ceremony which is such a weird thing because of the feeling of everyone watching you and everything is focused on you.

Ceremonies are a worldwide event, and are used for about everything. There 's weddings, funeral, Catholic confirmation, and birthdays are all examples of common ceremonies. Notice how each of them are celebrating one specific thing/person. During a ceremony it could be a celebration, a promotion, or a goodbye. A celebration is used for commemorating your accomplishments in a specific topic. I.e. Baptisms and Catholic confirmations. A promotional ceremony is for introducing things like a coming of age ceremony. For example: a Quinceanera is a great example because it 's a cultural promotion for Spanish girls who are turning 15. A goodbye ceremony might be the hardest because unfortunately it’s nothing but a ceremony to say goodbye to those who are no longer with us. For example: Day of the Dead is an event held on the Thirty First of October (our Halloween) , where people of the Spanish culture honors the dead.

For example, when brands release a new product there are huge product launches. In these launches, there are signs placed in the front of the store and the new item gets placed at the entrance of the store on a little table so it can sell. This leads to guests trying new products and purchasing new things. Once every three months, a cosmetic or skin care brand comes in and holds an immense event. It involves make up artists applying makeup on the customers, or the skin care specialists giving facials to customers in order to push the sale for their product.

One of the main reasons why the coming of age ceremony differs is based on the Navajo creation myth. In Navajo, Kinaalda represents a girl transforming into womanhood like Changing Woman. This is because Changing Woman is known as the first woman to have her Kinaalda by creating the first pair of Navajo people (Markstrom 304). Although there are various versions describing Changing Woman, she is known to have thought and speech as her parents, but is raised by First Man and First Woman (Young 225). When she had her first period, it was to be done that a ceremony would signify the “occurrence and significance for the girl’s initiation into womanhood”

Weddings, parties, funerals and more, are common things depicted in novels that I feel have great significance. A wedding symbolizes love and a bond that is not to be broken. When there is a wedding in a novel, it is always important because it often shows important events that happen during the wedding or that are related to it. Parties can and cannot be significant. Occasionally, parties are put into novels just to add sme character and give some insight on to how the people in the book act in this type of setting.

Ceremony Ethnography In North American culture, weddings are usually a lavish celebration of joining two families. Recently, at a wedding I attended with my family, I noticed many things about the role of music in the wedding ceremony. Usually weddings are composed of a ceremony, with a reception or celebration afterwards. In this wedding, there was a limited role of music in the actual ceremony (other than the bridal procession/ “Here Comes the Bride” and when the newlyweds exited at the end of the wedding), however the role of music was more substantial in the wedding reception (in which there was celebratory music and dancing).
