附1：摘要
Abstract: This talk is about traditions and how we define cultures ourselves by them. The speaker will talk about different traditions from different countries, showing the similarities and the differences, and will also talk about how important traditions are and then ask the question: is it possible to live without traditions? We cannot survive as a culture without the honored traditions of our ancestry and cultural history. However, some cultures have lost many traditions and are suffering today because of it.
