Valentine’s Day is  a day that is celebrated throughout the world. We spend on average 14 billion dollars each year on this day alone. It is crazy to think that this is a very diabolical issue that is debated on even if it should be celebrated at all or if it should be kept as a holiday. It does not seem that one day makes us happy then all the other days of the year we are the same old grumpy people. How is this whole issue becoming a cogent argument that has had our heads spinning since it was invented back many centuries ago over in england for a king. The two debatable topics are “Should it be celebrated” or “Should it not be celebrated” that is two cogent arguments that persuade one side and the other for a very argumentative but confusing issue. According to a study done on debate.org over this topic it is said that 47% percent say yes and 53% percent say no it should not be a holiday. It is a topic that is needed to be debated for a while and here are the 2 sides presented for you.

Should Valentine’s day be celebrated it is an issue that has long been debated for many years why is there one day out of the year that we spend being happy but then the next day go back and be the same person we were before. According to debate.com 43% say yes it should and the reasons why are because it puts fun back into schools one day gets get a free fun day to celebrate with friends plus have parties to show love. Another reason is that is helps remind each other just how much we love them a little bit more than we already do. It is said that is the most expensive holiday besides Christmas because we send cards and chocolate and gifts. It is also has been a tradition for years in america for us to come together and love each other. Personally it makes me feel very happy on that day to receive cards plus gifts it is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate besides thanksgiving and christmas. Could you imagine if it was used everyday how much more love would be poured into the world that is not already there. Some say we should keep it but it is not the greatest holiday invented because we should not just have one day to love each other take each day to love each other. Others take the day as the day that love reigns all throughout the day and it combines one day for all the love that is already cultivated by our culture. That is the argument on why it should be kept as a holiday in the United States plus in the world without that one day we might not be able to express our love in one day.

Should Valentine’s day not be celebrated according to Debate. org 53% of people say no that it should not celebrated or be apart of our holidays. Some believe that there is no point to having the day because we should show our love to each other everyday not just one day a year. Another person believes that is sucks there is no point or there is no evidence to back up the truth behind the holiday. How can we be for certain that is areal holiday if we not even agree on why it should or should not be celebrated. A lot of people have said that it should be eliminated from our calendars because it is one whole devoted to a pointless topic of love and roses and chocolate. In my opinion I think there should not be a holiday at all we should be able to give the one’s we love a rose or chocolates or cards every day of the year not just some boring day on the calendar. It says in the article “History of Valentines day” that they used animals to slaughter to prove they love one another or used other means to prove a point. It sounds ridiculous that we have to use animals or love symbols to be able to prove love. This is a very distinct issue that should be reconsidered.
