Presentation KENTE
Kente cloth is more than just a cloth for the Akan people of Ghana - it represents their history, culture, and traditions through various patterns and symbols. Specific kente designs reference important events like civil wars or attribute meanings like forgiveness, unity, and hard work. Kente cloth originated in the Ashanti kingdom and is made of interwoven silk and cotton strips. It was later adopted by other groups in West Africa as a representation of their culture as well. The document then provides examples of different kente patterns and their meanings.

Traditional African Society
Traditional African societies were based around kinship groups like extended families rather than strong centralized governments. Bantu migrations helped spread agriculture and herding across the continent. There was immense diversity with over 1000 languages and tribes. Social structures ranged from large kingdoms to small states organized by kinship, gender, age, and lineage. Family, age groups, religion, land ownership, and slavery were all important community institutions before colonial influence.

Sample of Making Acquaintances: Differences and Similarities (Country: Kenya) DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES Historical Background Kenya is a country made up of many different languages, ethnicities, races, and cultures. Because its geography isolated the interior from the coastal regions until the mid-19th century, Kenya’s modern history is also divided (Horrobin, 1971). Over fifteen hundred years ago in the interior of Kenya, agriculturist Bantu language speakers from Western Africa arrived, followed by the pastoralist Nilotic speakers from North Africa (Editors of Time-Life, 1987). These peoples would remain in the interior with little contact outside of the areas they settled until the arrival of Europeans in the mid-1800s (Horrobin, 1971). Along the coastal areas of Kenya between 200 and 1490c.e. Indian, Indonesian, Persian, Arab, Chinese, and even Roman sailors had made contact and traded with the locals (Horrobin, 1971). Eventually, many of the Arab and Persian traders settled in these regions perpetuating Islam, and the Swahili culture and language (Horrobin, 1971). The prosperity of the coastal trade eventually attracted the ill-fated attention of the Portuguese around 1500. The Portuguese conquered, and then ruled coastal Kenya until the mid-17th century, bringing Christianity to the people (Editors of Time-Life, 1987). The Portuguese were later ousted by the Omanis who ruled from the early 1700s, returning Islam to the coast, until they slowly lost power to Great Britain by 1898 (Horrobin, 1971). The British built roads and railroads to the interior finally unifying the country’s geography but bringing an influx of European settlers (Finlay, Fitzpatrick, Fletcher, & Ray, 2000). Colonial rule under Great Britain resulted in an attempt to wipe out the African culture, discriminate and suppress Kenyans in favor of the British and European settlers. Over the next 60 years, Britain would first oppress, but then later slowly allow, through a series of violent protests, the country to return to majority African rule. In 1963, Kenya declared independence and now functions as a republic (Horrobin, 1971). Communication Styles The official languages of Kenya are English and Kiswahili (Horrobin, 1971). Because of the diversity of the people, the total amount of languages spoken, mostly African tribal languages, is 62 (“Kenya: Language, Culture, Customs and Etiquette,” n.d.). The largest of these groups are the Bantu language-based Kikuyu, Luhya, and Kamba peoples, followed by the Nilotic based speakers: Luo, Kalenjin, and the famous Maasai peoples (“The World Factbook: Kenya,” n.d.). Oral histories and folklore are the traditional methods of preserving the history of the various ethnic groups and have only recently begun to be preserved in writing in English and Kiswahili, using Latin script (Sobania, 2003). Nonverbal communication styles include close proxemics (even with new acquaintances), shaking of hands when greeting anyone, and demurring ...

Observation of an Individual’s Culture Different to Mine
For this sociology assignment paper, I have selected a group of people to whom I met at an event related to their festival. These people are Nepalese, and their culture is totally different from my culture. One of my friends took me to their event with him; a boy named Bhatt was my friend’s friend, who is from Nepal. Bhatt is an Asian male, I just got amazed at the initial introduction I started observing their culture in detail and was mesmerized. I just loved their culture and that’s why my topic of sociology paper is Nepalese culture. I have observed a lot of things in that event because there was a vast range of Nepalese traditional dresses, food, ways of celebration, etc. and later I also researched a lot about their culture. Individuals of Nepal usually greet others with Namaste as a customary salaam, as they did when I was in that event that is widely practiced in most of the nation. This group is approximately 23 million Nepalese who made 69 diverse linguistic and cultural groups, additionally recognized as ethnic associations existing in various parts of the country (Gopal & Verma, 1977). Essentially every ethnic group has their different clothes, vocalize their dialects or languages, and develop their religious traditions. People live under various distinct environmental and geographic familiarizations, from the low fields near the border of India, northward into the central valleys and hills of Mahabharata Mountain, and up to the tremendous manifest lowlands of the Himalayan region.
Languages: In Nepal commonly, there are a couple of significant groups of people located in high Himalayan range Tibetan font (Bhot Burmese or Tibeto-Burman) and low hill to Indo-Aryan (Bharopeli) mid-hill origin societies. Region of Himalayan villages groups who speak Tibetan origin Gurung of Manang, Tibetan Sherpa, Dolpo, Mustang district and Thakali of high plain of Mustang are observed in subalpine to Tran’s regions of Himalayan. The best recognized are the people of Sherpa who have achieved world fame and attention because of their skills of mountaineering. The word “Sherpa,” in English signified as a mountain leader, and Bhatt my friend's friend is from Sherpa, he had extraordinary skills and strength.
Sub-cultures: In the mid-hill frequently located Chepang, Gurung, Sunwar, Rai, Magar, Tamang, and Limbu groups, as well as different Mongoloid groups, exist in these areas. In towns, Kshetri, Punjabi, and Marbadi where different diverse groups are located. The groups of Magar, Gurung, Limbu, Rai, are popular in the world because of Gurkha solder.
Geography: In Terai Plain Lal (Mithila), Yadav, Jha, Singh, Majhi, Rajput, Kshetri, and many more people .

Role of media on Banjara tribes..doc
Media plays a key role in the development and advancement of tribal communities like the Banjara tribe in Telangana, India. The Banjara have traditionally been nomadic traders and agriculturists but have increasingly settled in recent decades. While they maintain a rich culture and heritage, media like television, radio, newspapers and social media have influenced changes to their customs, traditions and lifestyles. Younger members of the tribe are now more likely to learn the local languages of the areas they live in. Media has also helped promote and preserve aspects of Banjara culture like traditional clothing, dance, music and folk tales while providing awareness of issues and connecting community members. However, overdependence on social media can also lead to

Introduction to Kula exchange. .pptx
The Kula Exchange is a ceremonial gift exchange tradition practiced by tribes in Melanesia and Polynesia involving the circulation of valuable shell jewelry. Anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski documented the tradition, observing its social, economic, and cultural importance in strengthening bonds between tribes. Through immersive fieldwork in the early 1900s, he unveiled how the tradition symbolizes prestige and creates enduring social networks through a complex system of exchanging arm bands and necklaces along a clockwise "Kula ring" between islands. Though facing challenges over time, contemporary efforts preserve the tradition's significance in community identity and continuity for over 800 artisans across 12 tribes.

The HAA has already fundraised $200,000 from community members for this purpose. The proposal outlines the vision, requirements and community benefits of an acquired property, and highlights the entrepreneurial and leadership strengths of the Hazara community in Queensland.
The naga
The history of the Naga is mysterious. After millennia of wandering, a number of different ethnic groups ended up in the hills of the Eastern Himalayas. Strange coincidences of culture and language through the Pacific led some scholars to suggest that the Nagas were an offshoot of groups that had originally descended from the central Asian plateau. And their burial customs, ornamentation, agricultural practices and even games and crafts, linked them strongly to the tribal peoples of Borneo and the Philippines. Here was a culture that might provide clues to some of the great migrations in human history*. Ethnically the Naga are of Mongoloid stock and linguistically belong to the Tibeto-Burman family.
THAKSIN.ppt
Helping professionals need to codify indigenous and cultural knowledge from Southeast Asia to better serve communities in times of crisis. Southeast Asian knowledge is influenced by its cultural, religious, and geographical context and emphasizes ancestral ties, community, and ritual. Examples of codifying this knowledge include advocating for diversity as a work ethic standard and understanding local identity to better help clients and enable participatory development. Codifying this knowledge can strengthen cultural resilience in disasters and atrocities by gathering communities to solve problems from within using internal motivation and authentic drives.

Though facing challenges over time, contemporary efforts preserve the tradition's significance in community identity and continuity for over 800 artisans across 12 tribes.

Hazara_Prosepctus_FA_LR
The document proposes a partnership to establish a community centre for the Hazara Association of Australia (HAA) in Brisbane. It provides background on the Hazara community in Australia, which numbers around 2000 in Logan and Brisbane. It describes the need for a dedicated community space where social and cultural events can be held, as gatherings currently take place in parks due to lack of facilities. The HAA has already fundraised $200,000 from community members for this purpose. The proposal outlines the vision, requirements and community benefits of an acquired property, and highlights the entrepreneurial and leadership strengths of the Hazara community in Queensland.
The naga
The history of the Naga is mysterious. After millennia of wandering, a number of different ethnic groups ended up in the hills of the Eastern Himalayas. Strange coincidences of culture and language through the Pacific led some scholars to suggest that the Nagas were an offshoot of groups that had originally descended from the central Asian plateau. And their burial customs, ornamentation, agricultural practices and even games and crafts, linked them strongly to the tribal peoples of Borneo and the Philippines. Here was a culture that might provide clues to some of the great migrations in human history*. Ethnically the Naga are of Mongoloid stock and linguistically belong to the Tibeto-Burman family.
THAKSIN.ppt
Helping professionals need to codify indigenous and cultural knowledge from Southeast Asia to better serve communities in times of crisis. Southeast Asian knowledge is influenced by its cultural, religious, and geographical context and emphasizes ancestral ties, community, and ritual. Examples of codifying this knowledge include advocating for diversity as a work ethic standard and understanding local identity to better help clients and enable participatory development. Codifying this knowledge can strengthen cultural resilience in disasters and atrocities by gathering communities to solve problems from within using internal motivation and authentic drives.
Lettera Incontro Panamazzonico Salesiano_English
The document summarizes a meeting of over 100 missionaries, including Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) and Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (FMA), who gathered in Manaus, Brazil to discuss the challenges and opportunities for their missions in the Amazon region in light of the upcoming Pan-Amazon Synod called by Pope Francis. Key topics discussed included the formation of indigenous vocations, migration of indigenous youth to cities, youth in the Amazon, and defense of indigenous land rights. The FMA proposals that received the most support focused on indigenous vocations, land rights, inculturation of the Gospel, and youth in the Amazon.
Senegal presentation
Senegal has a history as the center of the West African slave trade. Today, Dakar is the capital and center of international black culture. Senegalese culture is characterized by family-centered kinship structures and mystical Sufi Islam being the dominant religion. A research project in a northern Senegalese village focused on identifying sustainable development needs through topics like agriculture, fishing, gender, and sociocultural issues. The research results suggested strengthening youth leadership, combining Franco-Islamic education models, and revitalizing traditions through a cultural center.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水

The Power of learning and litrecy for women in the Maasai Community.
- 1. The Power of Informal Learning and Literacy for Women in the Maasai Community, Kenya 382 Pages · 2017 · 1.29 MB · English The Maasai community is an indigenous African ethnic group primarily located in Kenya and Tanzania. They are known for their distinctive culture language and traditional way of life. The Maasai have a rich oral tradition often passing down their history and customs through storytelling and music. The Maasai are semi-nomadic pastoralists relying heavily on herding livestock such as cattle sheep and goats for their sustenance. Their livelihood and cultural identity are deeply connected to their cattle which play a central role in Maasai ceremonies social interactions and economic activities. The Maasai are known for their colorful traditional attire which includes vibrant shuka robes and intricate beadwork. Beads hold great cultural significance for the Maasai representing social status age and marital status. Different colors and patterns also carry symbolic meaning within their community. Maasai society is organized into age-based warrior groups known as "age sets." Each age set progresses through different stages of life with the responsibility of protecting the community and carrying out various rituals during specific periods. Elders hold significant authority within the community guiding decision-making processes and passing down traditional knowledge to younger generations. Despite facing challenges such as ongoing land disputes encroachment on their territory and shifts towards modernization the Maasai community continues to preserve their cultural heritage and way of life attracting interest and admiration from people around the world.
