Question

The traditional life of a Rome or Gypsy

Answer 1

Roma or Gypsies are an ethnic people who practice nomadism and are known to have migrated across Europe for over 1,000 years with a rich culture in oral tradition, with a family emphasis. They have been portrayed as strange and exotic facing persecutions and discrimination over the centuries. According to Roma Support Group, an organisation created by the Roma people Roma means "people", promoting awareness of Romani traditions and culture. 
Due to their dark skin, they faced discrimination, and in 1554 a law was passed by the  English Parliament to make being a Gypsy/Roma a felony punishable by death. For survival, they kept on the move with a reputed nomadic lifestyle, and due to this movement, most did not attend school. They lived under a complex set of rules that governed things like purity, cleanliness, respect, justice and honour.
