Is Easter appropriate in today's modern day multicultural society.We find that there are many cultures in society meaning that people come if many different religious backgrounds.As this is the case is Easter really appropriate for muslims,Hindus,Buddhist etc and does it have an affect on their religions?"I am Hindu but have gone to a Christian school,in lessons I always remember having to write an Easter card for a family member but not being sure what family member to send it to as we are all Hindus" Ria,15.What should people do in situations like these?Growing up in British society means that you grow up with British traditions and celebrating British religious celebrations but if you are not British and don't believe in the celebration where do you lye?Nuzhat,14 said "As a Muslim I'm not sure if Easter is very significant to me because I don't read a bible I read a Quran so I could never understand the true meaning of it."As a multicultural society in London should Easter really be celebrated as much as it is?In my school I asked year 10 of different religions if Easter has been adopted as part of their culture due to commercialisation and how it is imposed on them.The majority of those year 10s said yes it has been adopted in the sense that Easter eggs can be given to friends and eaten but some did say that their parents wouldn't give them an Easter egg as a part of celebrating the time.Others said that they find it offensive as it is some what expected for them to be willing to take part in Easter activities and celebrations within school disregarding that they are of another religion and that Easter is not a part of their believes.Should Easter be reconsidered as being such a big celebration or should other religious celebrations be celebrated as much as this is?
