What is a custom? These are rules of conduct that have been entrenched in the minds of the people thanks to repeated repetitions. What customs are, where they come from and where they disappear, read about all this below.
What is custom
As mentioned above, the rules of conduct that have become norms for people through repeated repetition. This includes customs that are performed on holidays, as well as those that turn into a daily routine. Basically, people follow them out of habit, not really thinking about the meaning of actions. Every society has its own customs. Some of them are regulated by the state, while others are observed within the same family. How long does it take for a habit to become a habit? At least a few years, at least 3-4.
How is tradition different from custom?
Concepts are best learned by comparison. We already know what a custom is, but now let's talk about tradition. What it is? Traditions are a complex of various actions that are passed down from generation to generation in order to preserve and develop culture. And here scale plays a role. The tradition can be considered as a local phenomenon, but still more often it is created and maintained on a national scale. No one forces people to observe established traditions, this is a voluntary matter.
Now let's look at the differences. Tradition is much broader than customs, since it most often has a larger territorial scope. People perform various rituals, sets of actions, often without thinking about hidden meaning that their ancestors laid down in them. But such traditions are supported by the state, as it considers them an integral part of culture. But folk customs often change under the influence of time, government, the way of human thinking. But most people don't see big difference in these terms.
How do habits arise?
Man is a complex being. And to better understand what customs are, you need to know how people create them. Initially, such rituals, or repetitive actions, were performed by man in order to survive. It was a kind of reaction to discomfort. People started the custom of killing a mammoth once a week so as not to go hungry. The girls sewed clothes from the skins of animals once a month, so as not to die from the cold. There were many such small local customs in any society, and they still exist today. True, our contemporaries do not have to survive, so the rituals are not aimed at the biological needs of a person, but at creating spiritual comfort. If you think about it, many of the unconscious rituals that are instituted in our society have no logical basis under them. These customs are common among superstitious people. Why do students eat lucky tickets from the bus before the test?
Why do people, returning home, if they forget something, always look in the mirror? There were once explanations for these customs, but today they cannot be found. Life is too changeable. Every person has the ability to create own customs. How? Before an important event, he may develop the habit of walking for an hour on the street in order to clear his head, or introduce summing up the results of the day into his evening ritual.
How habits disappear
Time goes by, everything changes. Human life is very fickle. Today one job, tomorrow another, today one love, and tomorrow you can meet a new one. That is why habits have to be changed. An example of such changes is the disappearance of witnesses at weddings.
These people used to play the same important role like a bride and groom. But over time, the custom of inviting witnesses lost its relevance. Today, newlyweds do fine without them, which means there is no need to appoint friends to this role.
Another example is baptismal divination. Used to be girls did this every year. Today, this custom has fallen out of favor. Young ladies do not want to spend time in a dark bath in the company of candles and mirrors. They have more fun things to do. It turns out that customs know how to die due to a change in public interests.
- vital;
- lifestyle;
- imposed from outside;
- rituals and ceremonies.
Why do we need customs
Today there is an American globalization of all countries. Most of the goods and services that we are used to consuming every day are not a product of our culture. Customs and customs must be known and observed in order not to lose one's roots and nationality. After all, Russia is a country with its own original culture, speech and art. Of course, it is necessary to modernize the country by updating customs and traditions, but this does not mean that it is necessary to borrow them from other countries. Why is it so bad to borrow a foreign culture, because before it was the norm of life and when one country was captured by another, culture was imposed against the will of citizens. But today it seems terrible, because, forgetting their history, people restructure their thinking. And as a result, such an option may turn out when one person will rule the society, imposing the only possible way of life on everyone. It is worth reading at least one dystopia to understand how bad it will be to live in this situation.
Examples of customs
Today there are many rituals that people perform automatically, without even thinking about their essence. The sources of custom are folk traditions transmitted in writing or by word of mouth. There are many examples.
When meeting on the street, men take off their gloves for a handshake. It seems to be a sign of courtesy and attention, but this custom has long roots. Previously, men took off their gloves to show that they did not hide weapons there, and as a result, their intentions are pure.
Another example of a custom is Maslenitsa. More precisely, the rituals associated with this holiday. For example, burning a scarecrow. This custom also has long roots going back to ancient times. Burning scarecrows, people see off winter and welcome spring.
Jumping over a fire counts as another Russian custom. True, in Lately few people do it. But before this fun was popular. The guy and the girl jumped over the fire, holding hands. If they did not disengage their hands and successfully overcame an obstacle, it was believed that their living together will be long and happy. But if young people moved away from each other during the jump, this meant that they were not destined to be together.
Unusual customs
We, the Russians, do not find it strange to burn an effigy for Maslenitsa or decorate a Christmas tree for the New Year. But for Thais, it’s completely normal to lower boats down the river, in which people put flowers, light candles and light incense. It all happens at the beginning of November on the day dedicated to the spirits of water.
The norms of customs are determined by the society in which we live. And in other countries things are the same. In Turkey, for example, there is a custom: before a man takes a second wife, he must give his first darling jewelry worth 10 thousand dollars. This is to prove to the woman that her husband - wealthy man and will be able to feed both her and the second woman.
In Kenya, there is a custom according to which the young spouse must do all the work of the wife for a month. It is believed that after this acquired experience, he will not reproach a woman all her life for doing nothing while doing housework.
Human life consists of ritual actions that we perform out of habit - without thinking about their true meaning. New year and birthday celebration, wish good morning and nights, rules of conduct - where did all this come from and what is it for? Who said, that black cat brings bad luck, and free space in transport must be given to older people? Of course, the presence a large number signs and rituals associated with the presence of traditions and customs. How are these concepts different, or do they refer to the same habits?
Traditions is a complex of ritual actions, which includes rituals, daily actions, rules of behavior in society, passed down from generation to generation over a long period of time. The main difference of this phenomenon is its generality and universality, territorial (national) binding. Traditions belong to no one, they can either be respected or ignored.
customs is an action rooted in public consciousness and repeating over and over. They also include the rules that have been formed in a certain field of activity (sports, politics, economics). A custom can be legal, religious, cultural, and certain cases- mandatory to comply. Public sanctions (reprimand, ostracism, coercion) are provided for refusal to perform.
Thus, custom and tradition are practically equivalent concepts, and highlighting the differences between them depends on the interpretation of the definitions. However, upon closer analysis, some features can be seen. So, traditions are deep customs that have been formed over several generations and become part of the culture. At the same time, this in no way concerns the scope of concepts. Customs are broader as they cover most human life. Traditions can be both professional and family, which depends on the way of life regarding small group of people.
Both customs and traditions are supported and approved by the broad masses of society. This is a kind of outlet, where each person can feel a connection with their ancestors, unity with loved ones. Thus, the tradition of welcoming guests with bread and salt demonstrates the hospitality of the people. The custom is to sit before a long journey, it helps to collect your thoughts and relax a bit.
It is worth noting that folk habits seriously impede the development of society and in critical situation can be not only useless, but also harmful. Deep traditions testify to the culture of the people, their long life and development. Customs demonstrate respect for the ancestors, the heritage that they passed on to their descendants.
Findings site
- The scope of the concept. Custom is a broader phenomenon than tradition. It is very easy to trace concrete examples. Customs can be folk, tribal, territorial, and traditions - family, personal, professional.
- Level. If a custom is just a habit that repeats automatically, then a tradition is a direction of activity, more complex and multifaceted.
- Rooted in consciousness. The custom, as a rule, is less long-lasting than the tradition. This is due to the depth of assimilation of this habit. Passing from generation to generation, a custom becomes a tradition.
- Orientation. The observance of traditions is more aimed at informing the masses. A custom is, first of all, an active action that pursues a specific goal, initially a practical one.

right and not be involved in

Now on well-known examples

traditions, as well as prove the importance and
the significance of each.
Traditions
TRADITIONSTradition is special form securing public
relations, expressed in the historically established,
sustainable and most common actions, norms and
principles of social conduct transmitted from
generation to generation and preserved, as a rule, by force
public opinion" Consequently, the tradition arises
as a result of certain historical conditions.
So, in Rus' with the advent of Christianity arose
tradition of baptism of newborns. Baptism is one of
the Christian sacraments, which marks the acceptance of a person
in the bosom of the church. According to the clergy, a person in
as a result of baptism dies to a carnal, sinful life
and is reborn to a holy, spiritual life. According to Christian
people are born stained
original sin, and baptism is designed to "wash away" this
sin, open before man the prospect of salvation. Although in reality this is not entirely true.
It is necessary to distinguish between concepts
"Baptism" with the concept of "Repentance", they
complement each other, not replace
how Baptism happens not only with water,
and also by the Holy Spirit, after
the person consciously repented and accepted
the decision to try not to sin.
Therefore, is it really true
baptize infants who knowingly
did not accept repentance? Whatever it was,
such a tradition has a place to be for her
followed by many people, despite the fact that,
often do not understand its true meaning,
but just act like everyone else.
customs
CUSTOMSA custom is a repetitive, habitual way
behavior of people in a given situation. TO
customs include generally accepted methods of work,
common forms in a given society
relationships between people at home and in the family,
diplomatic and religious rituals and others
repetitive actions reflecting features
the life of a tribe, a class, a people. customs
formed historically.
In custom, the mores of society find their manifestation,
their occurrence and nature are influenced by the features
the history of the people, economic life, climatic conditions, social status
of people, religious beliefs and so on. Easter celebrations -
one of the most important religious
customs of Christians. like Easter
known to paint eggs,
bake Easter cakes and talk to each other
"Christ is risen". Exactly
many people celebrate this
holiday from year to year, repeating
historical actions.
In fact, coloring eggs and
cakes in fact have no one
relation to Easter
according to the Bible, because nowhere in it
none of the data is mentioned
deeds. The holiday is associated with historical event, described in detail in the second book of the Torah, which in Russian
tradition is called "Exodus" (Old Testament). This is a legend about the slave life of Jews in Egypt, persecution
small people by the pharaoh and his priests, as well as the subsequent liberation. last of ten
Egyptian death penalty is associated with the command of God to anoint the doorposts with the blood of the sacrificial lamb,
so that the angel of death could pass by the Jewish houses and kill only the firstborn of the Egyptians.
After leaving the territory of a powerful country, the Jews, led by the leader Moses, became a real
people with their own hierarchy and institutions, and after moving to the Promised Land, they managed to establish
own state, build the only temple to serve the Almighty and create the first
history of the royal dynasty. And now the Jews celebrate this holiday and it is called "Passover". According to the New Testament, Easter is the day of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, who brought
himself as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind and conquered death. Indeed, according to Scripture,
the wages of sin is death. Often in the Bible you can see the comparison of Jesus with the Lamb (
lamb), this is a metaphor, according to the previously mentioned lamb being sacrificed
for the life of the Jewish people. So Easter is Christ sacrificed for humanity.
Stereotypes prevailing in society
STEREOTYPES IN SOCIETYThe main purpose of religious rites
is that they are important
means of ideological and emotional
impact on believers, and thereby
form a system of habitual religious
representations in the minds of people and cult
stereotypes in their behavior. And despite the fact
that they are often wrong or not
carry no significant meaning, people all
follow them equally and will continue to follow,
as they folded and repeatedly
repeated for centuries. The same thing happens with various kinds
symbols, such as the five-pointed star,
known in society as the Pentagram, the Star
devil. No wonder people's opinions about
this symbol matches, because this is a stereotype,
existed in the minds of people for many years. On
actually Pentagram or Pentacle
("Svechennoe femininity", "Sacred
goddess") is one of the oldest symbols on earth.
Appeared 4 thousand years before Christ. Refers to
worship and deification of nature. ancient
people divided the whole world into two halves - male
and female. They had gods and goddesses
maintaining the balance of power. The pentacle symbolizes
the female half of everything on earth. His
lines divide the Pentacle into segments equal to the number
PHI. Symbolizes Venus, goddess of love and
beauty. The planet and the goddess Venus are one and the same.
Known in the world also under the names Eastern
star, Ishtar, Astarte. Every 8 years Venus describes absolutely
right pentacle in a large circle
celestial sphere. The ancient Greeks paid tribute
this, arranging Olympic Games every 8
years.
The meaning of the pentacle was changed by the Roman
the Catholic Church at an early stage
development. It's part of the Vatican's company
destruction of pagan religions and conversion
masses to Christianity. There was also a number
transformations such as:
Trident of Poseidon - devil's pitchfork
Sage's cap - witch's hat
Pentacle - the sign of the devil
Egyptian sun disks - haloes of saints
Image of Isis cradling the son of Horus Image of Mary with Jesus After all, as now, it was impossible to just take and break the pagan customs, symbols and traditions of
people who have evolved over a fairly long period of time. The only way out was
gradually replace them with Christian ones. And now some Christian holidays are still
contain pagan rituals.
Some Conclusions

includes everything spiritual heritage from generation to generation. public

tasks of education moral education the rising generation.
Customs and traditions cannot be so easily taken and removed or changed, as they have a huge
impact on society. This process takes quite a long time.
Religious traditions, customs and rituals may be inaccurate and even built on others,

social groups.
Customs and traditions: the most tough examples
What are customs and traditions? Customs are historically established certain actions and orders that have long become the habit of the whole people. Under traditions, we "decipher" a certain " cultural code which is passed down from generation to generation.
Traditions and customs are very similar in their meaning. Sociologists even point out e. They are closely connected not only with history, but also with religious views. It was with the advent of beliefs that the beginning of customs and traditions was laid.
We all follow some traditions and customs, but not all of us truly know their purpose and history. I believe that people should pay special attention to history, because all traditions and customs are an interesting part of the culture of the people, the history of generations and religion, and are also one of the components of a person’s upbringing and his worldview.
The history of the emergence of customs and traditions
Initially, customs and traditions arose out of the need for survival. Thus was born the so-called hunting magic. It must be understood that people in ancient times were much more dependent on nature than we are. The hunt could be successful - or unsuccessful. Therefore, rituals arose that, it was believed, could bring good luck to the side of the hunters. The elders had knowledge of such rituals, therefore, in ancient times, the elderly were treated with due respect, not like now.
There were other customs and traditions among the ancients: not to wake a sleeping person (his soul may not have time to return from the world of dreams), not to mate during a hunt - this is fraught with uncontrolled births, etc. By the way, it is within the framework of hunting magic that rock painting: people wanted to attract the spirit of the animal to their side.
Such customs and traditions accompanied life ancient man. They have penetrated our culture so much that we do not even notice and do not track them! For example, look at a teenager at a bus stop. He smoked, spat and wiped his grub on the asphalt with his foot. What is this? This is a genetic memory: in fact, he destroyed the trace of himself. After all earlier people believed that through saliva, hair and other remnants of a person, you can bring trouble to him. Don't believe? Read the textbook "History primitive society» for universities!
wedding traditions- in general, continuous antiquity: White color(dress, veil) is a symbol of transition to another state. We wear white according to the rite three times in our lives: when we are born, when we get married or get married, and when we die. Did you even know about all this? Write in the comments!
Food habits. Come on new job- you need to "put down", you go on vacation - the same way. wedding table, parties, - in a word, a lot is connected precisely with eating food. Why? It turns out that in ancient times there was such a custom of potlatch, when the leader of the tribe fed all his community members. This meant that he did them good - we must respond in kind! And today: went on vacation, and we work? We're stressed! Gotta eat! And there is a gap. Did you graduate from high school and get your diploma? Are you stressed? School ball, graduation is again associated with food. Didn't notice
Interesting customs and traditions of the peoples of the world
The peoples of the whole world have many traditions and customs, and they are different for all peoples. For example, Russians have a tradition of celebrating the New Year, a holiday that connects the past and the future. This holiday carries bright feelings and many miracles, but, like most other traditions, the New Year is rooted in antiquity.
An integral part of the New Year is a Christmas tree with funny and clockwork toys, bright and glossy balls and garlands flashing in different colors. Do you know why everyone decorates the Christmas tree so quickly before this holiday? Because according to customs, people believed that by decorating the Christmas tree, they make the evil forces that surround them good. At present, many have forgotten about these forces, and the decorated Christmas tree is still a symbol of new year holiday. This magical holiday is described in many Russian fairy tales and poems, the authors of which are well-known A. S. Pushkin, S. A. Yesenin and others.
The Russian people also have interesting customs which are incomprehensible to foreign residents. For example, on the eve of Easter, happy holiday, which appeared in Rus' at the end of the tenth century, in honor of the resurrection of Christ, we paint chicken eggs. And many color them with onion peel, because it gives a burgundy-red hue, this shade symbolizes the blood of Christ crucified on the cross. A egg in turn - a symbol of the birth of a new life.
But not only the Russian people are famous for their traditions and customs. Abroad there is the well-known All Hallows' Eve or, as we call it, Halloween. The holiday became a tradition several centuries ago and, as we know from the book "Scarlett" by Alexandra Ripley, this holiday was rooted in Ireland. An attribute of such a tradition is a pumpkin, which symbolizes at the same time the harvest, evil forces and the fire that scares them away.
There are no less interesting traditions in the countries of the East. For example, polygamy. Polygamy also came into life from the ancestors and is preserved in the countries of the East to this day. For example, the Book of Mormon can tell us a lot about such a tradition. From the book it is known that in ancient times, with a nomadic lifestyle, considerable care was required for numerous herds of horses or camels, so the owner forced to have several women who could provide care for mares or camels. Camel fur made it possible to have warm and light blankets, and camel milk was highly valued. Only a woman could do all this, men had no time to do housework, they were the earners. At present, in the Eastern countries, polygamy determines the prestige of a man, which is no less important for the inhabitants of the East.
Departing from the history of the traditions of polygamy in the Eastern countries, one cannot help but recall the monogamy of the Caucasus. No matter how sad it may sound, there are always wars in countries, after which the number of men decreases sharply. Girls, as a rule, are born more than boys, and in the future, many adult girls do not have enough husbands, and as a result, families and children.
In general, if you recall, there have been cases in history when only one survivor from the male population of the village returned to the village from the front. However, after some time, the population again became at the same level.
So during Caucasian war of the nineteenth century, the leader of the Caucasian highlanders, Imam Shamil, eased the fate of widows and single women. They were allowed to choose a husband at their own discretion, which actually legitimized the existing relationship. As S. Essadze wrote: "The named man, single or married, was obliged to marry the one who chose him."
I propose to recall the customs and traditions of the inhabitants of such interesting country like Thailand. Thailand is famous for its exotic customs. During calendar year Indigenous Thais have many customs and traditions that delight tourists. Solemn holidays celebrated throughout the kingdom of Thailand. In general, some of the most interesting rituals can be observed in the "backward" cultures, whose carriers live in.
An example of this is one of the most beautiful holidays Thailand - Loy Krathong, dedicated to the spirits of water. This day falls at the beginning of November on the day of the full moon. Thais, floating their boats along the rivers - krathongs, in which candles burn brightly and fresh flowers, coins, various incense lie. Thais firmly believe that with the help of these boats that night, the spirits of water will wash away all the sins of the previous year from them.
In every country of our vast world have their own special customs, traditions that determine the way of life and culture of people How often do we hear about the customs and traditions of China? One of the most special traditions in China is the greeting. In the old days, the Chinese greeted each other by bowing with their hands folded across their chests. At the same time, it was believed: the lower the bow, the more respect a person shows. The modern Chinese today simply make a slight bow with their heads. However, if they want to show respect, they can bow lower.
The customs and traditions of all the peoples of the world inhabiting the Earth are very extensive and multifaceted. They are directly related to factors that are rooted in the very depths of history, and with religion, which helps a person to realize and perceive the world believing in the supernatural. It is necessary to respect and honor not only the customs and traditions of your country, your people, but also other countries and its inhabitants.

New traditions and customs
When new family, family traditions do not always coincide with spouses. One family holidays were celebrated in a wide family circle, where all relatives were present.
The bride, on the contrary, is in a close circle. Because of this, disagreements and quarrels can arise. To come to the correct result, you can come up with new traditions, charters in the family, if you have the desire and consent.
To do this, you need to follow the steps:
- come up with a new family tradition, where all family members will participate;
- be the first to show interest in the undertaking;
- one should not invent too many customs daily;
- repeat the tradition several times to consolidate and memorize.
Family traditions of different countries
IN individual countries, as a rule, there are charters, orders, customs, traditions. IN Great Britain It is customary to bring up children in severity, to restrain emotions.
Looking from the outside, one can testify that they do not love their children. On the contrary, it is customary for them to give parental love, which is different from education in Russia.
IN Japan mother sits with baby maternity leave before reaching 6 years of age. She does not shout at him, indulges, fulfills his whims. At school, on the contrary, children are brought up in severity, taught to order. Several generations can live in a house.
IN Germany there is a custom in late age start marriages. It is customary to first make a career, after which, by the age of 30, it is allowed to get married and have children.
IN Italy, all relatives, even distant ones, are considered one family. They often gather at a common table to discuss the problems of each.
In France mother pays more attention to career. Having given birth to a child, he sits with him for a short period, after which he gives him to kindergarten for education, and she goes to work.
In Mexico, it is believed that legitimizing relationships is not main reason to create a family. Often, newlyweds live in a civil marriage without registering the relationship.
IN modern Russia there are family work traditions that can be passed down from generation to generation. With the help of them, relatives draw closer, preserving the family business. There are downsides to this practice. Some family members may find family professions alien, incomprehensible, uninteresting.
