That is how I look at Halloween. Unfortunately here in Latvia they are not into this holiday and only children at school dress up but afterwards don’t go trick or treating and young adults enjoy going a bit crazy in the pubs in Riga. In the U.S. it is common to see carved pumpkins most everywhere and in some other parts of the world as well. There are also gourd-like orange fruits that get carved with ghoulish face and illuminated by candles.
Good Girls Go Bad, for a Day In Good Girls Go Bad, for a Day, by Stephanie Rosenbloom, she demonstrates that on October 31ST, instead of it being a day for treats and giggles, it has turned into a bucketful of eye-candy. She expresses that buying tight skirts and high heels, should not be accepted and wonders why it is used by many women as an escape. Her argument that Halloween has become too sexual is expressed in several examples from a variety of people. Ethically, the author states whether or not women should question going out dressed sexually, even if it was for one night. Because of her examples from people who you would never think to dress provocatively, this will help to persuade the readers of the realization of how women just to want to dress out of the norm.
Halloween The misunderstanding of Halloween is an odd and confusing holiday. This confusion is the result of miscommunications through generations of the original meaning of the Holiday over the years. The origin of Halloween commenced over 2000 years ago as the Celts, which was a Celtic God of the Dead. The Celts would build large barn fires to scare away the evil spirits and make sacrifices for receiving good crops in the coming year.
One of the most-awaited moments of the year is right here once again. Dim neighborhoods are brightened by ghastly smiles of Jack-o '-lanterns in communities where the breeze is also slowly getting colder and the leaves that have fallen off of pines give each step a crunch. In a few days, children dressed like pirates, princesses, ghouls, and little monsters will be knocking on doors requesting goodies and several other goodies. Yet just before Halloween begins, you can delight the kids in your community by teaming up with several moms and dads and arranging a Halloween scavenger quest.

Did you ever wonder why it is an American tradition to dress up as monsters or TV characters for Halloween?

Mark, “Halloween traditions in the West date back thousands of years to the festival of Samhain.” Halloween originally came from a festival, where they would celebrate and watch the sunset on October 31 to November 1 to honor god, as well as to mark the close harvest season
Trick or treating should not have an age restriction because no one can tell you when you exactly stop being a child. Our brains fully mature at the age of 21 so in between the ages of 9 to 21 you could still have the behavior and likings of a child. Taking away trick or treating for teens who still enjoy the adventure is preposterous, adolescents only have a certain amount of time to be kids it’s not fair to take what little childhood they have and make them turn into adults when they already have their whole lives to be adults. Therefore trick or treating should not be taken away.
