DEVOTIONAL REFLECTION

Being a generous individual can turn a person's view of life into a good one. We should not judge an
individual's life not because of his or her life, but rather we should encourage them progressively to help
them become a better version of their own.
WRITE YOUR ANSWERS BELOW:
1. Define Ethnic Group.
The Ethnic Group is a community group of individuals that share the same culture.
Or to descendants of those individuals who do not share this culture but who do not share it.
Identify themselves with this party of ancestors.
2. Explain the different types of Ethnic Groups.
 Primary ethnic groups refers to the place of origin where the group's culture emerged as a distinct
entity. They are those which exist in the same place in which historically they have been formed
and called indigenous people. Secondary ethnic groups are those which have their origin in
society different from the one in which they currently exist.
 Folk-community and nationality-community ethnic groups -
Folk community is one whose members are predominantly of peasant
background.Itlacksadevelopedconceptionofthegroup'shistoryaslegacy. The folk community's
culture is what Robert Redfield (1960) described as the "little tradition", embodied in custom,
song, and transmitted in a proverbial manner. Nationality community members are differentiated
in social status. Many of them have experienced some form of social mobility in to professional
occupations. The culture of the nationality community develops what Red field called a "great
tradition", including literary, artistic and intellectual achievements.
 Majority and minority ethnic groups
Majority ethnic groups are those who determine the character of the society's basic institutions,
especially the main political, economic, and cultural institutions.
They determine the character of the norms of society as a whole, including the legal system.
Their culture becomes the culture of the total society into which the minority ethnic groups
assimilate. The minority groups may preserve their institutions and culture in larger or smaller
degree or they may influence the character of the dominant institutions in larger or smaller
degrees, but usually, the framework for intergroup processes is provided by the institutions
deriving from the culture of the majority groups.
•"Young" and "old" ethnic groups
We can distinguish between "young" groups, i.e., those made up predominantly of the first-the
immigrant-generation, and whose second generation is either small in size or young in age. The
"old" groups are those already established in the larger society, i.e. they have at least a high
proportion of adult second and adult third or consecutive generations. The concerns of the
young groups can be characterized as essentially the problems of adjustment to society at large,
whereas those of the old groups, as interests of persistence. In classifying ethnic groups as
young and old, one should take regions into account.

3. Define Ethnic Identity.

Ethnic identity The manner in which individuals are psychologically positioned in relation to one
or more social structures because of their ethnic heritage, and in which they view others as being
placed in relation to those systems.
4. Explain in not less than 2 sentences the Types of Ethnic Boundaries.

There are two kinds of ethnic boundaries, those from within the (internal) ethnic group and those
from outside the ethnic group (external). The dynamics of inter-ethnic relationships in several
ways rely on the ship's relationship between these two frontiers. The field of self-inclusion in the
party is the internal boundaries. With the self-identity process. They articulate with the feelings
of sympathy and loyalty toward members of the same ethnic group. The external boundaries is
the perimeter of exclusion of membership; it is the demarcation of the space of the out siders.
In a multi ethnic society in which members of different ethnic groups interact and compete with
one another, the existence of internal boundaries will inevitably produce external boundaries.
5. Discuss in brief the results of the study.

-In the last twenty years, this paper briefly explored the major ethnicity approaches in
sociological literature, then continued to describe ethnicity, ethnic community and ethnic
identity, to differentiate between ethnic groups and manifestations of ethnic identity, and to
analyze ethnicity in the process of transition. To get a more accurate view of how ethnicity
evolves over the course of three centuries, the findings of an observational study were used.
Depending on ethnic group, generation, and other factors, the results of the empirical study are
useful in drawing attention to variations in the character of ethnicity.

6. Give a 3 sentence or more recommendations for this study.

The ethnicity scholar must be as mindful of the changing ethnicity circumstances and changes in
the essence of ethnicity over time as of all the philosophical gaps and theoretical possibilities in
relation to it. If empirical analysis involves a limited choice of operational metrics, be it a census
or other study, it is important that it be done with a complete awareness of how it will impact all
aspects of ethnicity and how it will restrict it.

The scope to which the consequent results could be linked. For any analysis, this is the meaning
that theory has.
