Rituals and morality

Rituals are structured actions or ceremonies performed by individuals or groups, often to mark important events, foster community, or express beliefs. Morality refers to the principles that guide what is considered right or wrong behavior within a society. Together, rituals can reinforce moral values by embodying and transmitting cultural norms and ethical standards. For example, a wedding ritual symbolizes commitment and trust, reinforcing social morals about family and loyalty. In essence, rituals and morality are intertwined, helping communities uphold shared values, create social cohesion, and navigate moral questions through symbolic actions.
