Tribes and Tribal Cultures Reconsidered

Authors(1) :-Dr. S. Mehdi Abbas Zaidi

People in today's society are interested in a variety of things, and they have differing perspectives about the nature of the cosmos and the things that exist within it, as well as how those things are related and work. These elements influence people's perspectives in such a way that any universally applicable understanding of the world order is unlikely. It is difficult for a metro dweller to picture trees and their utility because one's perception is limited by the surroundings to which one is exposed. Despite these variances, there is a common cultural classification. Each culture has its own set of economic, social, and political institutions, as well as religious beliefs, marriage and etiquette standards, and language and technology. No one goes hungry as long as food is accessible everywhere within a predetermined kinship circle, according to the oxiom.
