...A Study of the Garasia Tribe and Strategies to Evangelize Them 1.) Overview of the Tribal Groups in Rajasthan Rajasthan is a state steeped in culture and history. Rajasthan, or the realm of the Kings, as it is known, is perhaps one of the princely states of all in India. Its history is abundant with stories and legends about its kings and rulers. In its golden age, the region was ruled by the Rajputs, and in their honor the state was known as Rajputana in its erstwhile years. These were the royal people, the Kshatriyas, the warriors and they were known to be fierce fighters, extremely proud of their heritage and position. But the state itself comprised of many other people groups, most of them tribal in nature. The state even now comprises of five major tribal people groups with many other either being the branches of these major groups or minor ones. These five tribal groups are Mina, Bhil, Garasia, Saharia and Damor. Of these tribal groups, the Minas are the largest of the lot with almost a share of close to 50 percent of the total population; Bhils come close with a population of 45 percent and then come the Garasias with a population comprising 3-4 percent of the total population of tribal people. The population of the Garasias in Rajasthan has been dwindling in the recent past because of their migration to North Gujarat. 2.) The Garasias Numerically speaking, the Garasias constitute the third largest group of the state of Rajsthan. Though they are also...

...(Richland 2010 p33) and it is important that we understand their term definitions. II. What is Law? | A rule or set of rules, enforceable by the courts, regulating the government of a state, the relationship between the organs of government and the subjects of the state, and the relationship or conduct of subjects towards each other. The term “LAW” for Anglo-American society “means the way in which societies express who they are and the ways of life they value as a people” (Justin B. Richland, 2010). Law for one tribal nation is often different than what law looks like in another (Richland p8). The Indian Civil Rights Act 1968 provided a Bill of Rights to Indians in their relations with the tribal governments. It authorizes a model code for tribal courts for Indian offenses and requires Indian consent, by states of jurisdiction over Indian territory. | | | III. What is a tribal legal system? Please provide examples. The tribal legal system is made up of the norms, structures, and practices of the tribe. Norms are the values and beliefs held by the community about the proper and improper ways to act toward other people, places, and things (Richland 2010 p4). There are two kinds of norms, substantive and procedural. The substantive norms are the ways we decide how to handle a dispute or wrongdoing (i.e. Do not steal, Do not murder). The procedural norms are the rules we follow when handling a dispute (a lawyer may not talk to the jury). Structures...

...Tones Tranquility- The first stanza makes us envision a beautiful sunset and gives us a sense of serene beauty, the sun calmly fading away leaving the night in peace. Reminiscence- The second stanza makes us feel that the Indian chief is longing for his tribe and his way of life and is looking back on memories, remembering the days when his teepee was not the only one standing there. Pride- We get a feeling of pride in the third stanza because the Indian chief stands strong, out side his teepee looking into the empty land which used to be occupied by his people. Despair- The tones changed to a more saddening mood because the chief is only able to look back at the vibrancy of his memories. Pain- This stanza makes us feel pain because the Indian chief is all alone, nothing is left but emptiness and skeleton bones. He is surrounded by a complete silence. Sunset- The sunset symbolizes the end of the day or the end of the tribe. It implies that they left peacefully and as smooth as the sunset. Skeleton- The skeletons show how the land naked and bare the land has become and how the tribe’s ways have died off. Shadow-like- The shadow is the chief’s memories, always right with him but never close enough to touch. His memories like a shadow that just pops out on nowhere. Empty west- The west is empty land; everything is gone, lonely and dark. Bleach- It could mean that the reason for the tribe disappearing is from bleach skinned...

...What Is a Tribe? A tribe is any group of about 20 to 150 people who know one another enough that, if they saw another walking down the street, would stop and say “hello.” Tribal culture exists in stages, going from undermining to egocentric to history making. Every tribe has a dominant culture, which we can peg on a one-to-five scale, with Stage Five being most desirable. Tribes emerge from the language people use to describe themselves, their jobs, and others. For most people, language is something they just live with and don’t think about. We can predict the performance of the tribe by counting the number of people who speak the language of each stage, and noticing who is in positions of leadership. What Is Tribal Leadership? Tribal Leadership focuses on language and behavior within a culture. “Using words to get the best out of people, to change everything.” Each cultural stage has its own way of speaking, types of behavior, and structures of relationships. Tribal Leaders do two things: (1) listen for which cultures exist in their tribes and (2) upgrade those tribes using specific leverage points. Description of Tribal Stages Signs of Stage One. (2% of all work cultures) Many people are socially alienated, never talking to anyone. When they cluster together, they form isolated gangs that operate by their own rules, often based on absolute loyalty to the group. The theme of their words is that life has given them a bad deal, so it’s ok to do whatever it...

...Service Learning is the cornerstone class that links academic studies at the College of Muscogee Nation (CMN) with the student and the communities. Each will strengthen the other as we learn to use cultural and historical facts and traditions to face social problems, meet human needs, promote civic responsibility and provide a basis for future citizen support. My service project is using volunteerism to improve the quality of life for the children in the Okmulgee area by applying the Muscogee traditions and culture taught to us through the curriculum of College of Muscogee Nation and our ancestors. The first goal of this service learning project is to improve the quality of life for the children of the low-income Okmulgee community residents. A historical assessment of the Okmulgee area provides a picture of drastic change and a people trying to make genuine progress in face of pressure beyond their control. This area, like the United States, has experienced drastic changes in the last fifty years including loss of manufacturing plants such as the Peanut Plant, Phillips 66 Refinery, Americana Window Glass, Ingersoll-Rand, and Ball Brothers Glass. The 2013 U.S. Census Bureau lists the population of Okmulgee as 12, 373 with 25.5% below poverty level. The per capita income for the 12 months (in 2013 dollars) is 16, 981 compared to the national per capita of $24,208. According to Oklahoma Unemployment records the unemployment rate in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma was 4.1% in April...

...establishment. On the other hand conflict-affected areas present some of the most difficult challenges for delivery of aid, and there is a heightened risk that aid can favor groups on one side of the conflict or indirectly benefit armed actors, which can make the situation worse. Keeping all this in mind, the main motive which has been in these areas during conflicted times is how to get food and water for their family much less a stable job and a salary at the end of the month. These people focus on the need of safety, shelter and food, at times also arms and ammunition to protect themselves from adversaries. As these areas are very close to war grounds especially considering Sawat (during the operation), and the present situation of the tribal areas, there were hardly any chances of anyone getting a proper job except some poor people who could go around relying on their cattle to feed them. People who didn’t own cattle or were seriously poor were either victims to the elite or the militants who...

...Introduction Today, the commercialisation of sports is developing gradually in a way that not only is importance given to manage sportsmen, but the preferences of consumers are being closely looked into before any decisions are made as well. Organisations, as a whole, face implications when it comes to fulfilling both of their needs evenly in order to be certain that the respective sports industry will continue to be stable and sustainable. Therefore, it is crucial for these organisations to explore the characteristics of their target market and acquire a deeper knowledge of their interests and preferences. As such, this report will explore and highlight the unique characteristics of sports fans as consumers, discuss the implications of sports marketing that may be faced by organisations and lastly be finished off with a personal reflection. 2. Sports fans as consumers People are known to be fans when they are seen to develop a diehard interest in a particular subject. It could involve sports, authors, musicians, celebrities and so on. According to Reysen and Branscombe (2010), a person can be considered a fan when they become passionate and enthusiastic about their particular interest and show loyalty to it. Both sports fans and normal spectators may share similar characteristics however, there are various factors which would clearly differentiate fans from spectators. For example, their degree of loyalty, commitment, emotional significance and value to the supporting clubs as well...

...To accomplish the goal of bringing my Café to the new millennium I will assesses our ability to compete in the new market based off Porters Five Forces. The five forces are buyer power, supplier power, threat of substitute products or services, threat of new entrants, and rivalry among existing competitors. These forces will allow us to approach each situation with a proven business model. Buyer power in our current community is high. The ability to substitute the products we offer is significant. Grocery stores, major franchises, and other markets are able to sell salads, coffee beans, pastry and more. The ability to switch between venues is effortless and with the addition of Dunkin Donuts as a competitor, the buyer power will be even stronger. To compete against the buyer power we will need to create a rewards program. The rewards program also known as a loyalty program will be offered to all customers. The company’s offerings will be discounts on purchases, reward points for future purchases, special coupons, and more. The objective of this program is to give my Café the advantage for purchases and to bring the customer in along with new friends to my store. Supplier power is how many choices a buyer has to obtain the product of choice. In the current market, the supplier power is very low due to the business-to-business (B2B) through the Internet. B2B is essential for keeping cost down and to guarantee our coffee bean distributor stays in line with competitors...

...Peter Pap is an established businessman specializing in textiles and tribal weavings, and antique rugs and carpets (Peter Pap Oriental Rugs Incorporated). He operates a business by the name Peter Pap Oriental Rugs Incorporated. Peter is in his own level dealing in the most valuable rugs in the United States. His customers are mostly well off individuals. At present, Peter Pap operates a highly profitable business but sales have from recently been declining consistently day by day. The reason behind this decline is the absence of financial, technological, and administrative skills aspects of his business (O’Reilly 1). He himself lacks all these skills. His business is a one-man show. That is, he spends 80 percent of his time doing things he should be delegating to others. Peter Pap is an expert in educating people on Oriental rugs, appraising, and buying but he spends most of his time performing technological and administrative tasks (O’Reilly 1). Analysis The major concern of the Peter Pap Oriental Rugs Incorporated is the declining sales. Pap would rather follow up a new client willing to purchase a $5000 rug than addressing an old customer interested in a $250,000 antique (O’Reilly 2). Pap’s business has many customers many of whom he has lost or failed to collect their e-mail addresses. Altogether, Peter Pap Oriental Rugs Incorporated lacks a working online marketing program (O’Reilly 2). Alternatives and Conclusions The popularity of Peter Pap Oriental Rugs Incorporated...

Conduct a PEST analysis. The focus is on external environmental ANALYSIS. It is not a collection of data or an explanation of PEST but the application of theory. Please use proper references and analyse the environment. Clearly formulated arguments and analysis are a must. The analysis must be backed by substantial research and referencing. 3. Highlight any unique resources and capabilities associated with the brand/company. This requires an internal analysis of the organisation. Please read the papers by Fahy, Wernfelt, Hamel and Prahalad etc. before you undertake this part of the exercise. The main requirement is to identify the tangible and intangible resources and the capabilities of your chosen brand and further filter these resources and capabilities to identify the unique (key) resources and core capabilities. The question is a means to test the hypothesis of the resource based view; that claims the success of the frim is due to the possession and alignment of key resources and core capabilities (core competencies) This could mean the organisation that owns the brand not necessarily the brand in itself. 4.
