Events: what do they mean and how can I use them?

Hi everybody,
I'm new to this, so it's maybe a silly question. I can't understand what an event on iPhoto is and I don't know how to use it: for example I'm used to take photos with my mobile now and then so the pictures are not related to an event in particular like a birthday or a travel. They are just everyday pictures. So how can I manage them?
Again: I have some big folders of pictures related to some job experiences abroad. In that case the event is just "Germany job" for example? When I import the pictures iPhoto automatically create an event for each date of the folder, so it becomes boring to rename every single event.
Thank you very much

Don't get hung up on the Word 'Event'. I have Evetss called Spring 08, Autumn-Winter 05 and so on. An Event is just a Folder of pictures. They can mean whatever you want them to mean. When you import from a camera iPhoto will break the pics into Folders of Days, called Events.

iPhoto -> Preferences -> Events: Uncheck the box at "Imported Items from the Finder"
Now iPhoto will not attempt to split the Folders of Images.
