Papua New Guinea is one of the most culturally diverse countries on Earth. According to recent data, 841 different languages are listed for the country, The country is one of the world's least explored, culturally and geographically, and many undiscovered species of plants and animals are thought to exist in the interior of Papua New Guinea.It is also one of the most rural places, as only 18 percent of its people live in urban environment.Strong growth in Papua New Guinea's mining and resource sector has led to Papua New Guinea becoming the sixth fastest-growing economy in the world as of 2011.Despite this, many people live in poverty, with about one third of the population living on less than US$1.25 per day.

It is estimated that more than a thousand different cultural groups exist in Papua New Guinea. Because of this diversity, many different styles of cultural expression have emerged; each group has created its own expressive forms in art, dance, weaponry, costumes, singing, music, architecture and much more. Most of these different cultural groups have their own language. In my research I found one tribe that sticks out to me The Etoro, or allso know as Edolo.They are well known among anthropologists because of ritual homosexual acts practised between the young boys and men of the tribe. In the United States we have strict laws agiasnt this and this is why I find them to be so diverse and made me wanna reseach them more. The Etoro believe that young boys must ingest the semen of their elders to achieve adult male status and to properly mature and grow strong.The Etoro believe that people have an individual amount of vital force, but the highest concentrations are encountered in semen. This power is transmitted between the members of the tribe by means of sex. That's why young boys, even at the age of 12, get it from the sperm of the older males. The boy gets "power" orally by a young man assigned to be his partner. Few years later, the teenager is formally involved in relationships with many male sex partner The former older male partner in many cases has to marry the sister of his former younger partner. Most Etoro men marry, but even so, they delay marriage as much as possible, and in fact, as they have to marry a relative of their male partner, they actually reinforce bonds with him.Women are regarded as wasting the vital force if heterosexual sex does not end up in a pregnancy, and the role of the women as mothers and wives is neglected. Men and women live separated, thus social contact between them is scarce and in most cases hostile.The Etoro homosexual society is one of male exclusivity, attributing to women a low status. this is the case of Etoro, a tribe of 400 people living by hunting and small-scale gardening in eastern New Guinea, on the southern slopes of Mt.
