Masks are used for many purposes, whether its for entertainment, part of a culture, a holiday, or protection we have seen a wide variety of masks in our lifetime. During Halloween we see plenty of masks the range anything from a popular movie character to the president. Many cultures also create masks that are then used for rituals, the ones we see or think of first are the traditional African masks. Masks can also be used for protection, which is seen in sports like hockey and lacrosse. Masks can also protect people from the the environment, for example gas masks and surgical masks are used to protect people from chemicals in the air. These are all physical masks that can be touched and seen, but masks can be thought of representational. People can be considered having a mask on if they pretend to be someone they are not. They can also have different personalities or act different depending on the group of people they are around.
