Describe three typical life-cycle ceremonies and give an example of each from a specific indigenous religion. Indigenous religions, which are very often called “native,” “local,” “ethnic,” or “traditional” belong to the world’s sixth largest religious group, if considered as a section. They are highly correlated to the ancient interpretation of humankind’s great traditions, and their visions about the world around them. Such religions are largely practiced among “the tribal people,” where its roots had been discovered in Africa, and later on continued in: India, Australia (Aborigines), New Zealand (Maoris), Central/Southeast Asia, and Latin America (Santa Clara University/Indigenous Religion). As well as many other religions/likewise, traditional religions belong to those, whom practicing and celebrating life-cycle rituals play an essential role throughout the one’s life.
High over warriors you are exalted, to be king of the people Enlil made it your destiny!” (16).They seal their new friendship with embracing one another and a kiss. Some other evidence that shows that there is a sense of friendship is when Gilgamesh’s mother, Nimsun, makes Enkidu her son which now makes the two men brothers. Another thing is when they go on their adventure together and how they fight the different creatures. They work well together to achieve their goals and this shows that there is a relationship that is very strong between them. Finally when Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh goes into mourning and this can definitely be seen when he goes on his adventure alone When comparing the two characters, there a just a few similar characteristics between them.

Many exciting things happened to him there. He learned about true Islam and that Caucasian people are not savages. He was made a Guest of the State. He even met Prince Faisal, leader of Saudi Arabia; ironically, both would be assassinated because of political-religious reasons.

On Monday, when the world celebrates the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., the family of his brother will say a prayer for a figure that has been largely lost in history – King’s younger brother, Alfred Daniel “A.D.” King. “A.D. King, if it hadn’t been for Martin and his father, would have been a prominent preacher in this city, because he was a very good preacher,” said Ambassador Andrew Young. “He was active in all of the movements, but he was Martin’s baby brother. Only the Kennedys have been able to pull off a dynasty because

It is very plausible that Hemingway might’ve experienced some form of Shell Shock which influenced his writing. My cultural source is a popular World War I song called “Oh Frenchy”. Written by Sam Ehrlich in 1918 the song is about a Nurse who enlists during the First World War. Like He- mingway’s own experience with Agnes, the Nurse falls in love with a Soldier, but they move to main and live happily ever after. This song could’ve also had some influence on Hemingway’s Soldier’s Home For my free choice I selected a book titled “Ernest Hemingway: Selected Letters 1917 – 1961” by Carlos Baker.

INTRODUCTION I come from the Kikuyu tribe of Kenya and though I have substantially been brought up in the cosmopolitan Nairobi city my parents and grandparents were close to their Kikuyu culture and through them and the many writings about our culture I find that my way of thinking and relating affected by my background and cultural beliefs. I do know that culture relates to a peoples way of life and particularly their beliefs and traditional practices but I believe as well that these evolve through time especially with intermarriages between different tribes that come from different cultures; in fact I have married from the Kenyan Luo tribe and being a cosmopolitan person based in the Nairobi City where all cultures have been thrown into the same melting pot my children are challenged unlike myself in observing two different cultures that are very different but ofcourse still African. Despite these challenges there are certain attitudes and values my children have definitely picked up from my tribe mainly by virtue of the patriarchal nature of the majority of African cultures where children belong to the fathers tribe but their exposure to other tribes and particularly my wife’s culture will influence their lives and even their own children.
