We live in a globalized but diverse world where people want to maintain their unique culture and traditions. Christians celebrate Christmas; Muslims celebrate Eid. One of the most important events in Spanish society is the great Tomatina Festival, in which participants throw tomatoes at each other. In India, people celebrate the spring festival, Holi, by coloring each other's faces and clothes with dry powder and colored water. While graduating from college is a huge event in the United States, whether in kindergarten, high school, or college, it is not at all significant in Afghanistan; people celebrate entry and not graduation. Although a small Scandinavian country, Norway, has unique traditions that most people are not familiar with. Every Norwegian boy looks forward to graduating from high school because of the legendary russefering, the celebration of russ, which is essentially a month of sensations and adventures. Russefeiring essentially began in 1905 when high school graduates who had received admission into an institution of higher learning were identified by their red caps; red is the main color of the flag of Norway. Over the next several decades, additional colors were added to caps to distinguish students with different majors in high schools. One hundred and nine years later, the Russian costume has developed into red overalls and caps and shoes imprinted with the Norwegian flag. Furthermore, it has now become a general holiday for students who are about to finish their years of upper secondary school. In addition to the russ costume, there are many other aspects of russfeiring that have been added over the years. One of them is to create a russekort, a Russian card, in which students essentially design a so-called business card. This card includes... half of the card... even though russefering lasts about a month, most Russians don't go crazy until the last few days. Non-Russians do not experience madness until May 17, unless they are high school students who deal with their seniors on a daily basis. The Norwegian government faces the challenge of whether or not this tradition should continue every year as Russia grows crazier and more out of control. However, most Norwegian citizens consider the Russian experience to be a sacred tradition. While they agree that many have gotten out of hand, they don't want the tradition to stop. Russefeiring brings together all of Norway's future graduates to have a chance to be silly and make mistakes before leaving for the real world. Although the government should continue to control Russians, to protect them and other citizens, it is a tradition that must be maintained..
