Many today rely on Sports, or Prom, even Driving School to serve the role of a Rites of Passage for our youth today.
I started to ask the question, “What can we do in today’s society to create a Rites of Passage?” First, I think the best question to ask ourselves is- “Why is having rites of passage even important in the first place?”
Great question and below I list 7 things I found to be great reasons why a “Rites Of Passage” is important even in today’s society.
* Demonstrates a transition into a new phase in life. Passage into adulthood
* Marks the time in one’s life where you become a contributor to the collective, rather than dependent upon it
* Overcoming a hardship either physical or mental give one the tools and experience to see through a difficult time
* Alters one’s perspective and the ability to see things differently
* Allows youth to earn the respect of their elders
* Presents a place of common ground. Begins the dialog of commonality between the youth and the adult
