Fans make sure to wear their team’s colors in support, chant during the innings to encourage the team, and sing along to the nation anthem before the beginning of the game.

The second definition is, “a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices" (Merriam-Webster). Religion is a strong characteristic of rural. Rural communities are often large and sparse; however, despite the many miles between places, there is usually a common bond.
Scholars have debated the concept and purpose of religion for centuries. Living in a world with over four thousand different belief systems, it is hard to come up with a definition that can apply to them all. Nevertheless, many historians have attempted the impossible feat of defining religion, including Adrian Cole and Steven Ortega. According to these two historians, the three main elements of religion are community, the search for answers, and a relationship with a power or purpose greater than oneself. These three concepts aptly describe the function of most religions around the globe, including Christianity.
They reflect the beliefs, values, and traditions of a community and are performed for a variety of reasons, such as to mark important events, celebrate milestones, or praise and transition the dead. Funerary rituals hold a significant place in human cultures as they provide a way to mourn and honor the deceased. Anthropologist David Kertzer has described a ritual as an action wrapped in a web of symbolism, meaning the ritual has a purpose, function, and meaning.

In the study called Body Ritual Among the Nacirema, the author calls the rituals and ceremonies the people perform “excessive”. They are insane rituals that people in America wouldn’t seem to think about doing. They sound so different, and unusual. As one reads the fieldwork, it raises a lot of questions and concerns. To anyone from another country it would seem these rituals are excessive because of the way they are performed, and the things they use to perform them.

For the most part, the individuals in my family are on top of our rituals. Every year between Black Friday and Christmas time my family and I go to different malls to seek out all of the great discounts. Holidays always have a unique spot in our hearts because we know this is the time of year we can be able to be all together and enjoy the special days together. There are certain ways families celebrate their own rituals and the way that my family and I highlight every holiday (Galvin 119). Lately, this ritual has been slowly dying but I hope we can have this interest in the future when I have a family on my
