Content: When students are in the twelfth grade they attend a senior school dance  called the formal. This is like the American tradition of prom night. Students hire limousines to attend a formal function sponsored by their  school, usually held at a somewhat glamorous location. The eighteenth birthday party is a large, peer-group party celebrating  entry into the adult world. At age eighteen, the young adult is given  all legal rights. The twenty-first birthday celebration, a much more  traditional family-and-friend celebration party, is often held in a  hotel or restaurant. Gifts are traditionally given, and this celebration  often marks the time the young person leaves home to live independently. 8 • RELATIONSHIPS
Men shake hands when introduced to each other or to a woman. Women often  greet other women with a kiss on the cheek. Pub life—the sharing of drinks with friends at a bar—plays  a large role in most Australians' social lives.
