207,Rituals and ceremonies help define a culture .Without them ,societies or groups of people have a diminished sense of who they are .

Culture ,defined as shared believes and values of a group ,effected by rituals and ceremonies (r&c) in some extend .The speaker allude because of the elimination of r&c functioned as a push of a culture ,the cultural impulse on a group or society of people will face a decline and this effect will cause the diminished sense of human racial identity .Insofar as several elements concerned ,I partially agree with this allege .

First of all ,let us get down to fundamental and analyse the relationship between the r&c  and the culture .R&c plays a defining role in the cultural construction indeed .For instance ,concerned with different clothes for wedding ,in China ,the bride is used to wear a red robe for good luck ,however ,in the western countries ,a pure white full dress will indicate  chastity .The color preference reflects differernt values and atitudes from different cultures on  marriage .In this sense ,the extension of defining function is not so crucial but is a aspect of the reflection contributed by other elements such as habits ,foods ,etc .Meanwhile ,not all the sorts of r&c are exert this effort to culture ,since redundance of processes or rigor of collective standards may lead to a reverse .

For the analysises above ,the effect cauesd by the elimination of r&c have to be divided twice .First ,insofar as r&c is a incomplete part to reflect culture ,without it ,different cultures will suffer different reactions and the culture-oriented self sense is also hard to prospect .For some western countries ,for instance ,regius leadership in England ,in which r&c plays a undeniable important role ,exists depending on the form of a king or a queen as a symbol for the long historical culture .In this case ,r&c such as a pledge before get into the perch could combine the mass and the noble ,while ,the disappearing of it will wipe off  the memory for feudal system fantasy .Thus ,if the kind of culture strongly lies on the r&s and there is no alternatives ,a damnification on culture may emerge ,and this will cause a chains reaction on the members belong to  the society .A sense of replacement ,a lost feeling of adscription ,more important ,a cognizance of identity  will arouses .

On the other hand ,if the society has undergone a drastic system transform ,if the culture preservation tie to some solid alternatives ,the impact in the vanish of r&c will be trifling to the mass .The most accorded example is China .In China ,culture features was pressed into traditional foods ,clothes ,songs ,articles ,and the innumerable historic sites .Admittedly ,when we graduate from colleges ,we hold a simple ceremony ,also ,when we get a post in the goverment ,a symbolic pledge is requisite ,but all these seems to me ,in some practical level ,to consider  them  alternative and not so fatal ,for there are such a mighty mainstream to conceal the change that one may totally ignore it ,say nothing of the weakening the citizens' self sense .

In addition ,even in the countries in the charge of r&c ,over-formalized culture may bind up the rolling of history ,and many of them were past with the time or is going to be cutted down ,while ,if so ,the culture will enjoy a new and succinct reform .This reform is not only barely harmful to rebuild a efficient cultural structure but also attract more attention from people .

In sum ,the two factors heavily weigh against the effect caused by the absence of the r&c ,one is the r&c is not the sole and fatal element for culture ,the other not all kind of r&c is available .Concerned with this reasons ,the speaker' s  allege is not alway right ,in my opinion .
