Ethnicities. nations

ethnic communities. In science under ethnos(from the Greek ethnos - people) is understood as a community of people historically formed in a certain territory, which is characterized by the unity of origin, culture, language, as well as the consciousness of its unity. A person recognizes himself as a descendant of a number of previous generations that belonged to this ethnic group. The memory of ancestors is passed down from generation to generation. As a result, a historical and cultural heritage is formed, which determines the integrity of the ethnic group.

Since any ethnic group is replenished due to inter-ethnic marriages and the inclusion of representatives of other ethnic groups in its composition, attempts to divide people according to the “purity of blood”, to distinguish between “clean” and “impure” representatives of an ethnic group are devoid of serious scientific grounds. ethnic


community is based primarily not on the unity of "blood", but on the self-consciousness of people. In almost every genealogy that goes far enough into the past, people from other peoples are found.

During historical development of humanity, ethnoi, like people, were born, lived and died, giving rise to other ethnoi. Various historical periods in the development of society, three forms (stages) of the development of an ethnos correspond - genus and tribe, nationality, nation (Scheme 2).

Stages of development of the ethnic group

Genus and tribe are characteristic of primitive society.

Genus is a group of people related by family ties and having a common ancestor. There is no formal system of leadership in the life of the clan. Various issues are resolved either by the eldest in the family, or by the spiritual leader of the family (shaman), but most often - by the meeting of the family. Oral traditions are used as laws.

Tribe- a larger formation than the genus. The tribe consists of several genera. People who are part of a tribe speak the same language, have common household rules and religious rites, and consider people from other tribes to be strangers. In a tribe, unlike a clan, there is a formal leader - a leader, as well as a council of elders. Decomposition


tribal relations occurs in connection with the emergence of private property and exchange. At the same time, the role of military leaders is enhanced, tribal nobility appears.

Nationalities usually consisted of several tribes close in origin and language, or from multilingual tribes mixed as a result of conquests. In the process of folding the nationality, a mutual language(usually the language of a larger or more culturally advanced group of tribes). A territorial, cultural and partly economic community of people included in the nationality is being formed. The formation of the state contributed to the strengthening of nationalities.

nations represent a higher level of self-organization and consolidation of the ethnos. They are formed as a result of the combination, mixing of representatives of various tribes and nationalities. Modern nations were formed during the formation of capitalist relations. As a result of the development of commodity production and trade, the formation of regional and national markets, the medieval isolation of the population was gradually overcome. The creation of centralized states strengthened the economic community and accelerated the formation of nations. Related to this are the processes of creating a national language, the development of a national culture, the formation of features of a national character and way of thinking, the emergence of national self-consciousness.

Nationalities that have been divided into parts by state borders can give rise to several nations (Portuguese and Galicians, Germans and Luxembourgers, etc.). The ancient Russian community of people was the single root of the Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian nationalities, which subsequently developed into a nation.

The nation is considered in science not just as an ethnic unity of people, but as a political, civil, territorial community, as a community of citizens of a given state, united by one government.

Both ethnic and national affiliation of a person is determined primarily by his self-consciousness.


But if ethnic self-consciousness depends on the origin of a person, then national self-consciousness depends on his inclusion in the national culture and a sense of belonging to it. Sometimes ethnic self-consciousness and national self-consciousness do not coincide. Getting into a new ethnic environment, for example, as a result of moving to another country, people do not change their ethnicity. But they can either retain their national culture and national identity, or assimilate, that is, master a different culture and acquire a new national identity. In modern nations, there are many people of different ethnic origins - American Belarusians, Russified Germans, etc. To denote the ethnicity of people today, the term “nationality” is used, and the concept of “nation” is often identified with the concept of “people”. For example, the Belarusian nation is the Belarusian people, uniting all citizens of our country.

As a rule, each nation has its own language. But there are exceptions to this rule. Spaniards, Argentines, Cubans speak the same language, although they are different nations. And the existence in France, in addition to French, of four more languages ​​- Breton, Gascon, Provencal and German did not prevent the formation of a single French people. In the Republic of Belarus there are two state languages- Belarusian and Russian.

The development of nations and national relations. Modern humanity is represented by about three thousand different nations and nationalities. Most of them live in multinational states. The well-being, and often the very life of people, depends on their ability to dialogue and mutual understanding, on their respectful attitude to the peculiarities, customs, mores, and views of representatives of other nationalities.

Each nation is characterized by the presence of a system known to all its representatives traditional forms behavior, household symbols, other elements of culture that ensure their mutual understanding and similarity of worldview.


Modern India

AT modern world no nation can live in complete isolation and necessarily enters into interethnic relations, establishes economic, political, ideological, cultural, legal ties with other nations. These bonds can be stable (permanent) or unstable (periodic). They can be based either on rivalry or cooperation, be equal or unequal.

An example of the rapprochement of nations is the European Union (EU). As of January 1, 2007, it included 27 states whose peoples speak at least 40 languages. A single European citizenship has been introduced, a single currency - the euro, a single European law has been developed. The supremacy of European law over national law is recognized by all EU states. In case of conflicts, a “third power” is organized to solve complex problems - the Court of the European Communities, the decisions of which are binding on all EU states. In the post-Soviet space, such associations of countries and peoples as

national identity. Through self-awareness the nation determines its fundamental interests, goals and ideals, its own place among other peoples and attitude towards them. National self-consciousness is based on historical memory and involves an assessment of the past of one's nation, as well as its current state.

A person independently classifies himself as one or another nationality based on the knowledge of the language that he speaks and considers native, adherence to the traditions and customs that he observes, the culture that he

People have a feeling national pride but they understand it differently. For example, we are justifiably proud cultural achievements Belarusian people, but at the same time we respect the values ​​and interests of other peoples. This position is opposed by another: "Everything that is ours is good, everything that is foreign is bad." People who hold this point of view are ready to praise the good and justify the bad that characterize the past and present of their people,


and blacken history and modern life another people. This is how national strife and confrontation arise.

(According to E. Benes)

Based on the text, name three factors that are the reasons for the decentralization of public administration.


The problem of centralization and decentralization of public administration and legislative power in different states and societies manifests itself in different ways, depending on the circumstances, the needs of the people and the state. Depending on the circumstances, this problem appears in some states as federalization, in others as autonomy, in others as simple local decentralization and an expedient division of competencies between central and local executive and legislative bodies. In some places decentralization is forced by the question of the heterogeneous composition of the population, in other cases by too large a territory, in still others by the cultural or economic maturity or immaturity of certain areas. On the European continent, a very frequent argument in favor of decentralization is historical traditions and remnants of the past in public administration, due to how states were formed or expanded at the expense of different provinces and new territories.

Democracy in its theory and political practice proceeds not from the collectivist consciousness, but from the consciousness of the individuality of an individual, and considers human as primary and basic, and the state, which is made up of individuals, as secondary. Rigid centralization is the first and basic condition of every dictatorship; democracy, on the other hand, greatest strength draws from the free conviction of citizens in their belonging to the state and people's whole.

However, no state, including a democratic one, will embark on the implementation of broad decentralization if it is threatened by separatist movements and aspirations. If it is under the threat of losing part of its territory as a result of voluntary decentralization in favor of the separatists, then no one in the world will force it to voluntary decentralization. If decentralization movements arise only because of rivalry and personal ambitions, from the desire for power or the establishment of party rule, then a great sin and crime is committed against one's own state and people.

ethnic community- a stable set of people historically established in a certain territory, possessing common features and stable features of culture, language, mental makeup, self-awareness, historical memory, awareness of their interests and goals, dignity, difference from other similar entities.

To ethnic communities, as a rule, refer to the clan, tribe, nationality, nation.
Historically, the clan and tribe were the first to develop.

Genus- a group of blood relatives leading their origin along the same line (maternal or paternal).
Tribe- a set of genera, interconnected by common features of culture, awareness of a common origin, common dialect, unity of religious ideas, rituals.
Such communities are characteristic of primitive communal systems.

With the deepening division of labor and the complication social connections new forms of community of people begin to take shape - nations and peoples.

Nationality- a historically established community of people, united by a common territory, language, mental warehouse, culture.

With the development of capitalist relations (XVI-XVII centuries), new forms of interethnic consolidation arise - nation.

However, there is no single interpretation of the concept of a nation. There are at least two interpretations of this concept.
First. A nation is a historically formed community of people based on a common territory, economic structure, system of political ties, language, culture and psychological makeup, manifested in the general civic consciousness and self-awareness.

Second. A nation is a historically formed community of people, characterized by a common origin, language, territory, economic structure, psychological make-up and culture, manifested in ethnic consciousness and self-consciousness.

In the first case, the nation is understood as a fellow-citizenship based on an industrially developed socially oriented democracy. This understanding is accepted in Western sociology.
In another interpretation, nation means ethnos.

Nationality- belonging of a person to a certain ethnic group or co-citizenship, depending on self-identification.

National mentality- way of thinking, spiritual disposition, characteristic of this particular ethnic community. This is a kind of memory of the past, which determines the behavior of people who preserve historically established traditions.

Ethnic groups in the modern world.
Modern humanity has from 3 to 5 thousand ethnic groups. The process of formation of ethnic groups (ethnogenesis) is quite intensive.

Ethnogenesis factors:
1) Demographic. If at the beginning of the 20th century the population of the Earth was about 2 billion people, then at the beginning of the 21st century it exceeded 7 billion;
2) Geographical. They distinguish the peoples of Europe, the peoples of Asia, the peoples of Africa, the peoples of America, the peoples of Australia and Oceania;
3) Language. Exist various classifications language. Language families are usually distinguished, such as, for example, Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, Altaic, Semitic-Hamitic and others.
4)Anthropological. Based on the principle of dividing peoples by race. It is customary to distinguish four races: Caucasoids, Mongoloids, Negroids, Australoids. However, the process of racial genesis goes on continuously. This is due to the constant mixing of races. For example, in recent times began to distinguish the Brazilian race from a mixture of Indians, Africans and Europeans.

10 minor races, more than 130 nations, nationalities and ethnic groups live in Russia.

Russia is a multinational country. Therefore, knowledge of such concepts as "ethnos", "nation", "nationality", "national mentality" will help to understand the ethnic diversity of our country.

On display slide 2. The objectives of the lesson are named. On display slide 3. Students write the lesson plan in their notebooks.

II. Learning new material.

1. What is ethnos.

Mankind throughout the history of its existence consisted of various peoples (ethnoses). What is an ethnos?

3. Nationality. Distinctive features of the people.

Nationality develops with the appearance of classes and states. This social community is characteristic not of primitive society, but of the era of slavery and feudalism. decisive role in the transformation of the union of tribes into a nationality, the state played. It united vast territories, establishing a closer connection between people and ethnic groups. Most often, closely related tribes are consolidated into a nationality, and often unrelated ethnic groups are also included here.

Demonstrated slides 8, 9.

4. Nation. Signs of a nation.

On the basis of nationalities, nations are formed - the highest historical type of ethnos.

Capitalism activates economic and cultural ties, creates a single national market, eliminates the economic fragmentation of the medieval state, and unites the various nationalities included in it into a single national whole. A nation emerges. On display slide 10.

Nations are more numerous than nationalities; they number tens and hundreds of millions of people. On the basis of common territories, a single national character and psychological warehouse. There is a strong sense of solidarity with one's nation.

Class assignment. Why do you think it was at this time that national patriotic and national liberation movements, interethnic strife, wars and conflicts arise?

National patriotic and national liberation movements, ethnic strife, wars and conflicts arise as a sign that a nation has been formed and is fighting for its sovereignty.

Large ethnic groups now exist only as a nation, while small ones, preserved from ancient times, are included in nations as ethnic minorities.
