We Are All The Same!

29 April 2014

The English word tribe occurs in 12th-century Middle English literature as referring to one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The word is from Old French tribu, in turn from Latin tribus, referring to the original tripartite ethnic division of the Ancient Roman state. Dating as far back as the hunting and gathering stage was humanity’s first and most successful adaptation, occupying at least 90 percent of human history. Until 12,000 years ago, all humans lived this way.

As human beings we all descend from tribes. A tribe is viewed, historically or developmentally, as a social group existing before the development of, or outside of, states. Many people used the term tribal society to refer to societies organized largely on the basis of social, especially familial, descent groups like a clan or kinship. A customary tribe in these terms is a face-to-face community, relatively bound by kinship relations, reciprocal exchange and strong ties to a particular place.

Hunting and gathering was presumably the subsistence strategy employed by human societies beginning some 1.8 million years ago, by Homo erectus, and from its appearance some 0.2 million years ago by Homo sapiens. What this brief look into history tells us is that we all descend from the same place. In fact it is our differences that make us unique. In modern business today we see these differences being celebrated more and more in all aspects of culture from food, music, fashion, art and even architecture. in fact globalization is uniting the four corners of the globe at record speed.

What this means is that 20 years from now we will most likely have a global society one which is governed more by the human consciousness than government thus it will become more important to accept our global partners and explore more what we have in common than what sets us apart. Never before in history has the human experience had so much say in determining how societies progress through technology and inter-connectivity via the internet. There is a collective consciousness which speaks out loud and fast against human injustice big and small.

We all want what is interesting and cool and makes us feel good about our lives and are willing to look for these things in other cultures if we are going to consume the cool and exotic from different cultures then we should at least be willing to respect the differences since at the core “We Are All The Same!”
