Customs & Traditions Article Count: 1

Customs and traditions are intertwined with a country’s history and hence its people. A tradition is a practice that has been passed down through generations and is observed by the majority of people in a society or culture, whereas a custom can be short-lived and observed only at the family or individual level. Many customs are things that people do that are handed down from the past. Usually, the people come from the same country, culture, or religion, but they do not necessarily know when the custom started. Furthermore, while all traditions may qualify as customs, not all customs are traditions.
