11. How is it negative?
How many people do you know that make claims for themselves because of what someone else did?

How many people think they are better because of some heritage?

How many think someone else is worse because of some heritage?


I am not saying people should not have such traditions to remember past generations but it can, and has lead to some 'superiority' attitudes in some groups.

Not negative at all, just a simple fact that some groups use such things to define their existence instead of honoring the actions of past generations.
