Tradition
What is Tradition?
A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or
society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in
the past.
Traditions can persist and evolve
for thousands of years
The word tradition itself derives
from the Latin tradere literally
meaning to transmit, to hand
over, to give for safekeeping
The concepts of tradition and traditional values are
frequently used in political and religious discourse to
establish the legitimacy of a particular set of values
In the social sciences, tradition is often
contrasted with modernity, particularly in
terms of whole societies.
This dichotomy is generally associated with a
linear model of social change, in which societies
progress from being traditional to being modern
