Halloween: A Bundle of Superstitions and Little Else

A wide variety of activities, spanning from scary stories sessions to carved pumpkin and witch’s broom are all symbolical of Halloween celebrations. Somehow there is a feeling that Halloween is nothing but an unacceptable method of imbibing superstitions in young and impressionable minds. In fact, Halloween may actually ruin the development of the next generation by imbibing superstitious values.

Useless Scary Story Sessions

The ghost story sessions in particular seem to be a massive waste of time. When the government is spending a bomb on technical education and scientific ways of living, Halloween is just pushing the young minds towards the dark ages. Indulging in scary stories sessions is nothing but glorifying the ghosts and imps.

Young minds need a dose of positive culture in order to be aware of facts. Such ghosts stories and celebrations of superstitions will leave a negative effect on the young impressionable minds.

Partying Like Ghosts

Psychologists say the idea of glorifying superstitions and celebrating them can push the child towards an unscientific and irrational way of life. Young minds need a scientific approach towards life for an all round development. Decorating the home or venue like a ghost bungalow or other scary and spooky themes may convince the child in believing about ghosts and supernatural things.

Get Togethers Have Taken A Backseat

Halloween is no more an occasion for family get togethers, the basic reason behind most festivals. The Halloween party has been associated more with plush and expensive themes. The entire focus of the occasion is diverted towards spooky parties and large budgets. In times of recession, such wastage of money is criticized by the academics as "noveau riches tantrums".

Expensive Gifts

Halloween owes its roots to Irish culture. It was more associated with a family get together and simple layout. Today people have made it an occasion to flaunt their wealth by gifting expensive and exotic gifts. Many in the working segment fail to afford the heavy expenses and as a result bear the brunt and are scorned upon.

In times of nuclear energy and nano satellites, Halloween is nothing but celebrating and glorifying obsolete taboos and superstitions.
