ritual

every community has sets of rituals. these can be as small as shaking hands when greeting someone or as large as a whole country or religious community celebrating something culturally significant for an extended period of time. they can be—among other things—spiritual, secular, political, social,personal, financial, superstitious, or performative.
communities can be as small as a tight group of friends or as large as global religions. members of a community have some sort of shared identity, whether it’s based on location,gender, sexual orientation, religion, political beliefs, age group,or any other number of experiences.
