And now I want to write a little reflection about the topic that we are going to discuss in class on Monday; the question is


Should Halloween be imported to and celebrated in Italy or not?

I think that this tradition is unuseful here in Italy for a various reasons:

1. It's something that doesn't belong to our Itanian tradition and so we ceLebrate IT without a specific reason;



2. It's only a waste of time and a matter of business;



3. I can't stand (as also Claudia in her blog wrote) Italian children going along the streets, shouting and knocking on the doors, without knowing what Halloween really is;

In my opinion this tradition should be celebrated in Italy only by those people that really know what it is and agree with its meaning. I admit that I don't know exactly where it was born, why and because, and so, why I have to celebate it without a specific reason?
So, briefly, I think that Halloween should not be imported in Italy and become part of our culture, because it's something that doesn't belong to us. Anyway, becuase of the increase of globalization, I believe that Halloween can co-exist together with our Latin culture, but it should be treated not as another occassion to waste money, but as something that belong to another culture and must be celebrated only by those who really believe in it.
