Holidays are an excellent way to allow societies to honor people or events that have helped their country or

the world. There are many things that deserve to be recognized in our culture, but there is one group of people that

is underappreciated in society today: inventors. If I were to create a new holiday, it would be to pay respect to these

important people and their creations.

Inventors are members of the most unappreciated profession in society today. Without inventors, all

civilizations would still be living in the stone age, with no running water, no electricity, and more generally, no

comforts. Many inventors create simple objects that do not seem that amazing, but upon closer inspection, one

realizes that all inventions contribute greatly to convenience. All societies should pay homage to these great

people by honoring them with a holiday.

The first way we could honor inventors is by opening exhibitions in galleries and museums dedicated to the

inventions of current and past inventors. Many people have no idea where the greatest inventions came from. By

displaying the life work of inventors, people will gain a new appreciation for them. This would also be a learning

experience for the public, as they could see what current inventors are working on, and get excited about the

upcoming progresses in society.

We could also honor inventors by having a school day dedicated to inventions. It is important to encourage

school-aged children to use their imagination to come up with inventions of their own. The school system is

excellent in China, but it does not promote free thinking. Children need to be given the opportunity to discover

new creations on their own. By having a day dedicated to this, young people would become more interested in the

manufacturing of new products and ideas.

So, I believe that inventors deserve their own holiday. They have provided society with so much comfort and

convenience. By honoring inventors, we will show them how much we appreciate their efforts, as well as

encourage our children to come up with new ideas of their own.
