3 Traditions that should NOT be Preserved [in my opinion]

1. Believing in superstitions.

This tradition or practice should not be preserved because superstitions are not based on reason or knowledge, which are the things that prove things whether they are right or wrong. And, most of the time, these credulous beliefs are proven wrong, although there may be some exceptions. Generally, we should not always believe in superstitions because they are usually not true, and they may just corrupt our mind then lead us to misconceptions and whatnot.

2. Firework Battle: Chios, Greece

Strange tradition, which occurred in Greece. Originates from the saturation when people prayed in church, and they were burned firecrackers to release the saturation. Then the people begin to burn Fireworks with the target is their church and they often fought each other church congregation fireworks between one with other churches.

This tradition should be stopped because, as we can see, burning firecrackers, without any battles, could already bring a lot of injuries and harm to many people who unwittingly use them, how much more can this firework battle do? Not only do people involved could suffer from the consequences and harm, but also the people who aren't part of the battle. Hundreds of people get injured by these firecrackers every year, so, we should try our best to lessen the use of firecrackers in order to be safe these Christmas and New Year season. If it wouldn't be possible, since it's already a part of our long-time tradition, we could at least be more careful in handling these firecrackers.

3. Baby Dropping Ritual: Solapur, India Muslims in western India, at Solapur exactly, lining up to drop their babies from a tower with a height of 15 meters.This ritual has been done for over 500 years, and believed to make their child grow healthy and strong.

This tradition should be stopped because, basically, it could be dangerous to the baby if he/she would be dropped since there may be some possible dangerous things that may happen like, what if the baby's body would still be very fragile and could easily get hurt when he/she's not handled properly, then how much more could he/she handle the drop? The effect they expected on the baby, which is that the baby could grow healthy and strong, may become the opposite after all, although there may also be some reasons why the baby could turn out like that too.
