What do you believe Shirley Jackson is expressing about ritual and tradition? (Consider what is said by those in the other villages who want to do away with the lottery)

Author, Shirley Jackson, said she wrote The Lottery in order to point out the inhumanity that exists in our world, as well as to expose the fact that violence and inhumanity have become so common that people are desensitized....... emotionally detached from inhumane acts.
