'''Tradition''' is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past.

== Types of tradition ==

Traditions can be classified into two types: ''[[tacit]]'' traditions, which are passed on implicitly by behavior, and ''[[explicit]]'' traditions, which are passed on explicitly in the form of written information.
