For many people rituals are the major events in life that dictate social interaction in social circles. Weddings, funerals, baptisms, and other events are the things that people spend the most time planning for and are either a dread or something to look forward to. Either way people all feel a certain connection to each other through participating in these events. People often times spend a good portion of time and energy planning these events whether it be for a wedding of making sure a final will and testimony is in order in the event of a death. In our society great importance is put on attending these events for religious, personal, and family reasons. In Second Life, rituals are carried out as a way to make the environment even more like the real world. People in Second Life build cyber relationships and feel the same responsibility to their avatar friends as they would their friends of the flesh. What importance does participating in rituals have for residents of Second Life?
