Rituals and festivals played a crucial role in traditional European life throughout the modern period. Rituals, such as charivari (“riding the stang”) allowed for the community to join together and have fun, teach lessons, and even make political statements. Festivals such as carnival, and that on midsummer night’s eve allowed for the community to relax, release their burdens, join together, learn from one another and, to the dismay of some, also served as a medium of spreading vices. Despite their disorderly nature, these ritualized activities actually served to reinforce traditional social values by building a sense of community, by imposing mechanisms of social control, and providing outlets for political discontent. Many rituals and festivals built community spirit and unity.

The celebration is not meant to be scary, like the American holiday of Halloween, but rather a celebration of life itself. Although the Spanish tried to erase most of the influence of the native people, this strong belief has continued on to this day. Recognizing the similarities with the Roman Catholic holidays of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, the church has accepted this holiday and there are now many Christian rituals associated with the holiday as well.

But we make ourselves and others unhappy by demanding attention and recognition, or by not asking for help and guidance when we need it…Growing up, we may learn to be vain by the examples of those around us, or especially if our parents and friends seem to love us more if we achieve.

The purpose of our experiments was to observe the effects of each variable to twenty Porcellio scabers. Recalling that they are typically found in moist areas, it can be hypothesized that they will show a positive hygrotaxis response to the half wet of the towel. This hypothesis was predicted by that they like to keep their gills moist, while on the other hand the dry half would not be able to provide any moisture. Furthermore, light intensity might also have an effect on their responses to their stimuli because light produces heat, therefore evaporating the moisture from the cloth. With this in mind, the Porcellio scaber would probably
