A rite of passage is a ceremony or event that signifies a transition from one stage of life to another, often from childhood to adulthood. This can include ceremonies such as graduations, confirmations, or traditional cultural ceremonies, which serve as a way to mark an individual's new status and responsibilities in society. Other options such as honorariums or identity celebrations do not necessarily carry the same cultural significance or social recognition as a rite of passage.
