May Day Response

May Day is also known as national workers day. It is to celebrate the struggle of the working class over the years and is celebrated all over the world. In different countries, such as Greece and England, there are festivals held and May Day is celebrated like many other holidays, but not so much as in America. We acknowledge this holiday exists, but we don't really celebrate it. It used to be that Americans would make May Day baskets and leave them on someone's door step. They would then ring the doorbell and run away. This is the only way that early settlers celebrated May Day. Now, Americans don't really celebrate May Day. It is semi-ignored in our society. Us not celebrating May Day is another example of how Americans ignore important parts of society.
Americans are so wrapped up in their own lives that they don't appreciate those who work and have worked hard to keep our country running smoothly. People have worked really hard in every job that they have no matter how small and have struggled. Americans think nothing of those who have worked hard to help our community and just brush it off because they see workers everyday. Because these people are seen everyday, no one acknowledges what they do for society because it seems like their jobs are just done and no one appreciates what we have and what would happen if these jobs were not completed. May Day is also a form of communism and socialism. Americans of course were always taught that communism and socialism were a source of evil so of course this holiday would be forgotten by a society that was brainwashed into thinking communism was evil. Americans don't want to give other forms of ruling a country a chance. This makes us ignorant to the rest of the world.
Another point is my constant mention that America is known for stealing other cultures' holidays and traditions. America goes to other countries, takes over and at the same time steals traditions and makes those traditions our own like with food. Yet after we "stole" this holiday, we didn't pay it any mind after a while. Once we realized what is stood for, we ignored it because it wasn't part of our beliefs as "The Great Nation of America." This shows that Americans are lazy and never want to do things on their own, but when we do have a tradition we change it or ignore it to fit the American standard.
