MAY DAY

I never once heard about May Day until this assignment because I never hear any one talk about or celebrate it come to find out its a holiday that is celebrated in a few different origins of the world such as Europe,Finland,Greece,Ireland,United kingdom,England,Scotland,France,Germany,Americas, Noticed that none of the origins are listed with North America ( United States) because we as Americans don't celebrate it. A similar holiday close to May Day is Labor day is day where people take off and celebrate meaning BBQ and food and get together with family and friends. This is a way we Americans celebrate and have a good meaningful life is by celebrating holidays that are known to us. With all the knowledge we learn everyday I think we should at least know about may day and how important it is to other countries rather than to us, I believe it's important to know a little about the holiday which i m glad i did this assignment.

Worker's holiday first occur in Australia in 1856 s a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement. May Day is most common by having organized street demonstrations and street marches by millions of working people and their labor unions throughout most of the countries of the world fighting and protesting about the 8th hour day instead of 12.

The American life is basically live free die hard or work hard and never give up there are many aspects in the American culture that brings up these aspects to live long, and the only way to do that is if was to do that is to good school, work, eat healthy and support family and friends. That's living a meaningful life.
