People: Encyclopedia II - Chosen people - Christianity

Supersessionism is the belief of many Christians that Christians have replaced Israel as God's Chosen people. In this view, the Jews' chosenness found its ultimate fulfillment through the message of Jesus; Jews who remain non-Christian are no longer considered to be chosen, since they reject Jesus as the Messiah and son of God. Christians who ascribe to supersessionsism, cite the Bible verse John 14:6, attributed to Jesus: "I am the way, the truth, and the life, No one comes to the Father except through Me" as ev ...

People: Encyclopedia II - Chosen people - Islam

Some Muslims believe Islam is Exclusive, and some do not. Muslims who believe that Muslims, Christians and Jews all serve the same God cite Qur'anic verses such as: Say, 'People of the Book! come to a proposition which is the same for us and you - that we should worship none but Allah and not associate any partners with Him and not take one another as lords besides Allah.' If they turn away, say, 'Bear witness that we are Muslims.'(Surah Al 'Imran; 3:64) Today all good things have been made halal for y ...

People: Encyclopedia II - Chosen people - Hinduism

Whilst the caste system of India confers a degree of birth-right to the " chosen " Brahmins, there exist a few cults or New Religious Movements that consider themselves to be the Chosen people, e.g. the Brahma Kumari World Spiritual Organisation [B.K.]. The B.K.s consider that the world is at its end and will soon be destroyed, that they and they alone will inherit a Golden Aged paradise on the basis on the efforts they make following their leader Brahma Baba at this time. Further that Brahma Baba is ...

People: Encyclopedia II - Basque people - History

Basque people - Origin of the Basques. The key sources for the early history of the Basques are the classical writers, especially Strabo, who in the 1st century AD reported that the north of modern-day Navarre and Aragon (the area immediately east of the modern-day autonomous community of the Basque Country) was inhabited by a people known as the Vascones. Although the word Vascones is clearly related to the modern word "Basque", we do not know for sure if the Vascones were indeed the ancestors of t ...

People: Encyclopedia II - Basque people - Culture

There are interesting social differences between the Basques and their neighbours. The Basque people have an unusually close attachment with their homes. A person's home is their family in the Basque Country. Even if one does not still live there and has not for generations a Basque family is still known by the house in which it once lived. Common Basque surnames could translate as "top of the hill", or "by the river" all relating to the location of their ancestral home. This is interesting evidence for considering the Basques to be the only people who ...

People: Encyclopedia II - English people - History

The English as an ethnic group can trace their heritage back to the Anglo-Saxons (or Old English), who between the 5th and 7th centuries, after the withdrawal of the Roman Empire, came to occupy most of lowland Britain (although a lack of documentation from the "Dark Ages" (Early Middle Ages) means few individuals can prove such descent). The name of the area known as England derives from this settlement. The tribes participating in this conquest of Britain included the Angles, the Jutes, ...

People: Encyclopedia II - Sinhalese people - History

Legendary accounts relating to the Indian epic saga, the Sanskritic Ramayana discuss largely unverifiable events of deities battling over the fate of the ancient island of Lanka (presumably modern Sri Lanka), as the name of the island and its various peoples are often traced to the peoples and places named in the saga or some analogues that are believed to represent them. The Sinhalese derive their language from Indo-Aryan invaders from India who are believed to have invaded the ...

People: Encyclopedia II - Ainu people - Geography

For historical reasons (primarily the Russo-Japanese War), nearly all Ainu live in Japan. There is, however, a small number of Ainu living on Sakhalin, most of them descendants of Sakhalin Ainu who were evicted and later returned. There is also an Ainu minority living at the southernmost area of the Kamchatka Peninsula and on the Kurile Islands. However, the only Ainu speakers remaining (besides perhaps a few partial speakers) live solely in Japan. There, they are concentrated primarily on the southern and ...

People: Encyclopedia II - Japanese people - Origins

Archeological evidences show that Stone Age people lived in Japan between 33,000 and 21,000 years ago in the Paleolithic period. Japan was then connected to Asia by land bridges, and nomadic hunter-gatherers crossed over from the continent. They left flint tools, but no evidence of permanent settlements. The most accepted theory is that present-day Japanese are descended principally from both the Jomon, a paleo-Asiatic people, and the Yayoi, a neo-Asiatic people, with cultural influences from the Korean kingdoms of Gaya and Baekje, and also ...

People: Encyclopedia II - Dravidian people - Ethnology

The term arose from nineteenth century Western scholars assumptions that Dravidian speakers were a distinct group within India, separate from the speakers of the Indo-Aryan languages in the north of the country. It was supposed that the generally darker-skinned Dravidians constituted a distinct race. This notion corresponded to racial hierarchies of the time according to which darker skinned peoples were more primitive than light-skinned whites. Accordingly, Dravidians were envisaged as primitive early inhabitants of India who had been parti ...

People: Encyclopedia II - Adi people - Culture

Owing to cultural isolation and economic insignificance, the Adi culture only elaborated simple manifestions and was spared major disturbance. However, since the late 20th century the people themselves are gradually opting for modernisation, e.g. road connecting them the the outer world, metal roofs, etc. Dormitories play an important role among the Adi tribe, and certain rules are observed. For example, a male can visit the dormitory of a female, although he is not allowed to stay overnight. At times, guardians will have ...

People: Encyclopedia II - French people - Diaspora

There is a sizeable French diaspora in the Western Hemisphere. The Canadian province of Quebec is the center of French life on the Western side of the Atlantic. It is home to the oldest French diaspora community and to vibrant French-language arts, media, and learning. There are sizeable French-Canadian communities scattered throughout the other provinces of Canada, particularly in Ontario and New Brunswick. The United States is home to millions of people of French descent, particularly in Louisiana and New England. The French communi ...

People: Encyclopedia II - Tagalog people - Culture

See main article: Filipino Culture The Tagalog culture of the Pre-Hispanic times was totally different from its forms today. From a former tattooing tribe, the Tagalog culture grew steadily to accept foreign, especially Hispanic, Chinese, and American cultural influences, and their culture today remains the backbone and the representative of all other Filipino cultures. Traditionally, the Tagalogs are for the most part agriculturalists, although there are some who engage in fishing. Today, the Tagalogs are disproportionately represent ...

People: Encyclopedia II - Indigenous peoples - Definitions

An indigene is literally someone or something that is native to or originating from a given place. Therefore, when indigenous is used purely as an adjective, an indigenous people is a group or culture regarded as "coming from" a given place. In this broad sense almost any person or group is indigenous to some location or other. As a contemporary cultural description, however, the term indigenous peoples has a much narrower common meaning. The more restrictive criteria as outlined need to be satisfied in order to identify an indig ...

People: Encyclopedia II - French people - Language

The French language, the mother tongue of the majority of the world's French, is a Romance language, one of the many derived from Latin. In addition to its Latinate base, the development of French was also influenced, in both grammar and vocabulary, by the Celtic tongues of pre-Roman Gaul, the Germanic tongues of the Franks and the Norsemen/Vikings who settled in Normandy. More recently, French has been heavily influenced by other global tongues, particularly English. French is not the only language spoken by the inhabitants of France ...
