What makes us HUMAN? Inuit People in the Arctic Kung People in the Regions Kalahari Desert of Canada in Namibia Nationality and Ethnicity The concepts of nationality and ethnicity are not interchangeable. Both, however, are capable of informing an individual's behavior and habits due to a set of cultural norms that each category provides. Nationality is the identity that is tied to being part of a nation or country—a “group of people who share the same history, traditions, and language” and who inhabits a particular territory delineated by a political border and administered by a government. Gender According to the World Health Organization (2013), gender “refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women. Unlike sex which refers to the biological characteristic of humans such as male or female, gender categories are more varied, accommodating identities such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (collectively referred to as LGBTQI), among others Socioeconomic Class The concept of socioeconomic class varies between societies as the ideas associated with being poor or rich differ based on the collective experiences of individuals GLOBAL SOUTH – Developing Countries GLOBAL NORTH – Developed Countries or industrialized nations. In Great Britain, a new survey revealed the fragmentation of the British traditional three-class system which includes the upper, middle, and working classes, to the seven-class system: “elite, established middle class, technical middle class, new affluent workers, traditional working class, emergent service workers, and the precariat” Political Identity Political identity as a social category refers to the set of attitudes and practices that an individual adheres to in relation to the political systems and actors within his or her society. Religion The belief in the supernatural has been one of the universal preoccupations of humans as early as 60 000 years ago The earliest forms of religion revolved around making sense of natural occurrences such as extreme weather conditions, natural and man-made calamities, sickness, and even death. The Sorcerer of Les Gabillou is an example of a Paleolithic artwork. This artwork depicts the supernatural ability of a religious practitioner to become half-man and half-animal. WORLD RELIGION MAP After reading the article, answer the following questions, and discuss your answers with your classmates: How did religion influence the conflict in the region?
