Answer 1

Tradition is the oral or exemplary transmission of historical material between people and generations. It requires the repetition of something, such as an event, a habit, etc. A tradition can also consist of several different activities together. From a sociological point of view, a commonly accepted tradition is one that can give people common norms and that makes people comply with those norms more effectively than any other control or police guard.
