REVIEW OF LITERATURE India is a vast developing country in the world and people of many different communities and religious live together in unity. Tribal study is not new to this present research world. There are many studies already done on this topic. Many scholars have paid their attention on it and contributed very much to the field of tribal studies. Most of the scholars were studied about indigenous features of tribes especially their cultures before independence. They emphasized the point that tribal people were kept away from the main stream society. But after independence a number of Indian scholars got involved in the study of tribal issues. They were used modern methods and approaches for research. These researches revealed the realities of tribal life and truths and facts relating to their unsecured life. The very purpose of this review study is to get a comprehensive and broad knowledge of the study media influence on tribal political participation with special reference on Paniyas community. This review also will help the writer to get extensive understanding on the contributions of ideas of the previous scholars who studied on tribes in general and particularly on Paniya tribe. The World Book Encyclopedia (1969) defines the word ‘Tribe’ as: "A tribe is a group of people who live in a particular place, speak the same language and obey a chief or elders. Its members have a common way of life. The tribe is one of the earliest forms of society. Tribe ranges in size from a few hundred people to more than a million. They may be organized into clans, families or customary ways of 38 doing things". The etymolog... ... middle of paper ... ... in cultural vacuum. In his book ‘Traditional Folk Media in India (1975)’, he opines that two important factors that obstruct communication in India are the high rate of literacy and inadequate spread of mass media. Jagannath Pati’s famous book, Media and Tribal Development examines the role of media in tribal development in India, with particular reference to Jharkhand. In this book he is evaluated the social relevance of broadcasting service as viewed by the tribal listeners. It examines the opinion of tribal people towards radio programming as an educational information entertainment system. Jagannath analyzed the media behavior of different target groups such as tribal women, children, and youth; the book explores the areas for democratic decentralization of media.
A lot of people have tribes, and almost every tribe is different. In rules, looks, and meanings. There are two specific tribes to learn about today. That is the Apache tribe and the Lakota tribe. There are many similarities and differences.
The Sioux Indians are a tribe of Native Americans that have endured persecution, segregation, and isolation. Though they suffered greatly, they stuck together and fought for their beliefs and religion. They are a diverse people ranging from warriors to holy men to farmers. The Sioux were a culturally rich and kindhearted people who were not afraid to stand up for what they believed in.
One band of Native Americans, the Cherokee Indian tribe is a renowned tribe that is still widely recognized today. “The word ‘Cherokee’ is believed to have evolved from a Choctaw word meaning ‘cave people’” (everyculture). The location of the Cherokees ranged anywhere from Georgia to Virginia. They mostly resided in the Southeast. Many Cherokees still exist today.
Throughout ancient history, many indigenous tribes and cultures have shown a common trait of being hunter/gatherer societies, relying solely on what nature had to offer. The geographical location influenced all aspects of tribal life including, spirituality, healing philosophy and healing practices. Despite vast differences in the geographical location, reports show various similarities relating to the spirituality, healing philosophy and healing practices of indigenous tribal cultures.
In old, but not so ancient times, native americans populated our land widely with different tribes diverged. One of the most widely known and popular tribes was named the Cherokee tribe and was formed as early as 1657. Their history is vast and deep, and today we will zone into four major points of their culture: their social organizations and political hierarchy, the tribe’s communication and language, a second form of communication in their arts and literature, and the Cherokee’s religion.
Pages one to sixty- nine in Indian From The Inside: Native American Philosophy and Cultural Renewal by Dennis McPherson and J. Douglas Rabb, provides the beginning of an in-depth analysis of Native American cultural philosophy. It also states the ways in which western perspective has played a role in our understanding of Native American culture and similarities between Western culture and Native American culture. The section of reading can be divided into three lenses. The first section focus is on the theoretical understanding of self in respect to the space around us. The second section provides a historical background into the relationship between Native Americans and British colonial power. The last section focus is on the affiliation of otherworldliness that exist between
The Native American Indians have faced so many adversities of which some have kept them from flourishing. For example placing them in reservations has greatly decreased their chance to progress in life. They always have had to evolve their lives due to the changes of the environment due to the settlers. This inhibited them from having a solid place where they could settle and setup a foundation for their lives. The concept of freedom had been carried on throughout the history of the United States, yet it has failed to be carried with treating the American Indians. Reservations have been seen as the United States showing their gratitude towards the American Indians, but Carlos Motezuma who wrote What Indians Must do sees it as a wall of progress for them and must be done away with.
If I had been asked previous to now how different certain tribal societies are in comparison to each other I would have retorted with something along the lines of “slightly or not at all.” This, however, is not the case. Tribal societies, like our political countries, can be separated by great distance. In both tribal and politically organized societies such distance fosters innumerable differences.
Many people today know the story of the Indians that were native to this land, before “white men” came to live on this continent. Few people may know that white men pushed them to the west while many immigrants took over the east and moved westward. White men made “reservations” that were basically land that Indians were promised they could live on and run. What many Americans don’t know is what the Indians struggled though and continue to struggle through on the reservations.
Indian society was patriarchal, centered on villages and extended families dominated by males (Connections, Pg. 4). The villages, in which most people lived, were admini...
Why do Indian college students have high dropout rates? Why do Indian college students have hard times in college, and university atmospheres? Why do Indian college students have difficult times when it comes to making good grades? Maybe it’s because they have no role models in the home. Maybe they can’t relate to individuals with different cultures and backgrounds? Perhaps it is something simple as having poor study habits. The answers could Possibly be that Indian college students are just uncomfortable in a college environment, and don’t have an Indian studies program to go to, as in Reyhner’s essay. Whatever the reason may be Indian college students are scarce within the college scene, just as Indian people are in the United States of America.
The ideas put forth in Marshall McLuhan's Media Hot and Cold, present many theories regarding the effects of media on the world. What qualifies as media, in essence, is any experience or information, imparted on the awareness of an individual and/or societies. These can be physical or nonphysical influences. TV and radio are examples of physical media. Their effects and evolution can be easily observed. However, and perhaps more importantly, McLuhan examines those nonphysical influences which can be observed in the individual and society. It is not enough to merely identify these mediums as such. What is more crucial is the perpetual waxing and waning of influence of such ineffable phenomena, whose identity and existence rely upon their interdependency

First, tribalism can be described as an easy two-step process that leads nations to have conflict with one another because division is furthered in each step. The first step is simply picking a group. Tribalism, defined by Jonathan Glover, the author of Humanity, is something that draws people into having strong loyalty to their group because people feel the need to create something coherent with their lives. For example, there is a person with no affiliation to any society who lives a next a community, the person will be drawn to that group and in this case will be accepted. The next step is learning the national identity. Every group or nation has their own two kinds of characteristics that make them unique: national self-image and...
If one asked “What is media literacy?” a majority of people would be puzzled. Some would say that it is the ‘written’ part of media that is not usually seen or a written layout of how media should be produced. The bulk of people would say they have no idea what media literacy is. People in today’s society should be informed about media literacy. Society should be informed of what media literacy exactly is and how it applies to the field of communications.
