Traditions

I want to promote traditions trough a school article im writing about the norwegian sailors chruch and tradition in general. Why do we need tradition, and whats so good about it?

>Why do we need tradition, and whats so good about it?
without tradition, there wouldn't be any lefse

Because tradition is responsible for over 2000 years of success while our "modern" hyperindividualist collection of "beliefs" is causing our society to circle the drain in just 50. Notice the trillions of issues today's leftist faces and recall that a century ago those weerent issues.

>there wouldn't be any lefse
How important is lefse in the big picture?

you wouldnt be able to speak a language or write without tradition

lefse with some butter and sugar is literally the thing that binds a Norwegian family together

I went to a sailor's church function once when I was a kid with my Norwegian immigrant friend. They didn't let me on the slide because I wasn't norweigian. It was there that I learned that the Nord was based.

>hyperindividualist
Literally the opposite. It's faux individualism spread by collectivists making shallow attempts at being individuals being taken seriously to undermine the core concept.

Open your eyes to what is really going on here, you subverted fool.

>They didn't let me on the slide because I wasn't norweigian.
laffin

every functioning family ends up with their own unique traditions. These tend to vary between families, but in their entirety form the traditions of a country. Seeing your flag, an example are certain weird fish dishes eaten more frequently at certain occasions. Not every family does it, families in other countries might do similar things, but overall this is something rather specific to your country. While those traditions in the small serve to tie the family together, it serves in its entirety to tie a country together, allowing people to have a identity as part of something that is considered "good". These tradition allow us to argue, compromise and develop ourselves further, as a family because even parts of your family you might not agree much with are included, and the same holds for the country as a whole (and eventually, even courser, it holds the race together)

Well.. it helps
Sorry to hear that, but if they say yes to one then suddenly everyone is going to demand a yes.
Good reply, thanks

...

Im gona need to know who wrote this quote

>inb4 marble statues etc.

There is a reason tradition endures. That is because it works. New ideas and policies come and go, some succeed in crushing tradition (Maoism for example), but even then, traditions are never fully stamped out. In short, you can see a dichotomy, tradition and fads.

Because Tradition is nature, living in accordance to the divine will and your people ... everything else is modernism

If they dont get it take for example their favorite shows like Lord of the ring and Game of Throne

>Why do we need tradition
You don't, all traditions should be questioned, ironic that you post an image of National Socialism, a German Romantic-inspired political movement, while mentioning "tradition."
>whats so good about it?
It's good for giving people a superficial level of connectedness

"Traditionalism" is tradition for tradition itself; it is inherently tautological; in its tautology, it ignores the essence of the traditions that it advocates; its entire ethos can be summarized as such: "It is old and it works, therefore it is good".

Thanks. stole that ''He no longer feels that he has anything in common with those around him''
good point. feeling alone, even if you are with others

dont take down fences if you dont know why it was there

dumb faggot
not only that but everyone believes in God and their people in Tradition

fucking dumb underage homo

Tradition is only as you describe it when it isn't working properly i.e. the traditions and norms are being carried out by idiots and/or corruptors.
Traditions survive through their ability to work to the benefit of their adherents, not through base dogma. Questioning standards of your society is fine and well, most people go through that phase in their teens and early 20s. That's how you learn and grow as a member of society. What ends up happening is that you eventually see why things are done the way they are. Potentially one might come up with a better way, but change for the sake of change is only good in retail. Crossing the barrier of how you think things should be vs. how things are is a great indicator of understanding this concept.

>t. edgy tween and his (((individualistic))) ideas

one reply insulting me wasn't enough? how about you address the argument?

its entire ethos can be summarized as such: "It is old and it works, therefore it is good".

If it is good, then it should remain. Just because it is old and it works does not imply that it is good. Feudalism was old, and it worked. Was it good? Not necessarily, perhaps for the lords.

>not only that but everyone believes in God and their people in Tradition
Everyone does not believe in God (I do however), and traditions do not aid in making anyone understand spirituality.

>the traditions and norms are being carried out by idiots and/or corruptors.
When you pass on traditions without evaluating them, that is what happens
>Traditions survive through their ability to work to the benefit of their adherents, not through base dogma.
Just because a tradition survives, just because something is evolutionarily advantageous, does not make it good.
>What ends up happening is that you eventually see why things are done the way they are.
Some people see why things are done the way they are, and abhor people for doing them.
>Potentially one might come up with a better way, but change for the sake of change is only good in retail.
What about change for the sake of improvement?
>Crossing the barrier of how you think things should be vs. how things are is a great indicator of understanding this concept.
You cannot derive an is from an ought.
If you are an idealist, you will want the world to reflect the ideal, if you are a naturalist, you will want your ideals to be fitted to the natural world.

meant to say "You cannot derive an ought from an is," just because something is one way does not imply it should be that way; the naturalistic fallacy a la Hume.

user pls
Other than that and your odd take on the "should be vs. is", our responses are mostly in line with what I said, we agree for the most part here.

your responses*

Thanks for the help muricans and swiz man. you are not so bad. The text is done

>>Just because a tradition survives, just because something is evolutionarily advantageous, does not make it good.
>user pls
If survival of yourself or your group is your purpose in life, then I understand this, but some people are not naturalists or survivalists, some people are idealists, or militarists, or hold various other beliefs.

I hope you achieve a top grade

I agree, some people believe things. You're drawing a whole lot more out of this than what I was saying.
