| A party
is a social gathering intended primarily for celebration and recreation.
While having some things in common with religious and seasonal
festivals, the term "party" usually denotes a smaller
gathering for a personal, rather than cultural, occasion even when the
occasion is simply that of gaiety.
Parties provide numerous opportunities for social interaction of various kinds, depending on the participants and their understanding of the accepted behavior for a given occasion. As a result, they tend to reinforce cultural and/or counter-cultural standards, though sometimes this is simply by providing a semi-acceptable social context for violating some of those standards. |
