I think that when attempting to break cultural heritage that you are pretty much torn. Part of you wants to pass on what your family believes in while part of you realizes that the world changes every day. I think that some holiday traditions should always stay the same. Like sipping hot cocoa and eating candy on Halloween. I feel as though society does not put us in line as much as it used to. Back in the 1940's, when "The Lottery," was written all the women were housewives and all the men when to work every day. It was inappopriate to curse or saying anything that expressed your feelings, especially if you were a child. Women were to always act happy even if most of the time they were not.
In today's society I feel we are not as restrained. I feel as though everyone is different in our modern society and most of the time, we embrace that. The only time I would say that those who are different are frowned upon is in high school. High school will forever be a place of judgement. People in our modern society broke free of being the same by simply doing what they love. Some people love dressing in their own personal taste of clothing. Everyone nowadays also embraces their different interests such as sports, art, singing, and much more. I think that the worst thing that could happen if you act different then other people is that you will be judged. The benefit is that you will feel like yourself and other people might love that too.
