How did lineage groups effect hierarchical structures within african societies?

History

Answer:

One common social structure among ethnic groups in sub-Saharan Africa is segmentary lineage organisation. Segmentary lineage societies are characterised by the foremost importance of kin relationships in determining individuals’ social and political allegiances, as well as their patterns of residence.1 Several anthropologists have posited a direct link between segmentary lineage organisation and violent conflict (especially Evans-Pritchard 1940 and Sahlins 1961, but also Bohannon 1958, Kelly 1985, Lewis 1961, 1989, 1994, Salzman 2007). In particular, they argue that clearly defined allegiances based on genealogy make segmentary lineage societies well designed to mobilise combatants for conflict. To our knowledge, however, this relationship has never been studied systematically or empirically.

Consider the diagram in Figure 1 of a hypothetical (patrilineal) segmentary lineage society. Triangles represent men and each row represents a generation. All individuals descend from a common ancestor ‘I’ and are also members of smaller lineage segments with other individuals who are increasingly closely related to them. In Figure 1, if individual ‘i’ were to have a dispute with individual ‘ix,’ all individuals belonging to ‘Major Segment A’ would be allied with, and come to the defence of, individual ‘i.’  Similarly, all individuals in ‘Major Segment B’ would be allied with and come to the defence of individual ‘ix.’ Thus, a dispute between two individuals escalates into a dispute between two large communities, as individuals mobilise to support members of their lineage or lineage segment.

Compose a 250- to 300-word essay on the importance of religion to art in the Middle Ages. You may do other research for more inf
Anastasy [175]

The essay must show that religion was important to art in the Middle Ages because it promoted didactic teaching of religiosity and what was expected of the population.

<h3>Structure for writing an essay</h3>
  • Introduction: Introduce the subject of the essay. In this case, you will show how the Middle Ages had religion as their main promoter of political and social organization.

  • Body: Write two or more paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you must show how religion dominated society and for this dominance to occur, it was necessary for the population to be taught religious concepts that showed what was right and wrong. In the second paragraph, you should show how the most democratic way of promoting this teaching was through art since the population had little access to formal education and this was not necessary to understand works of art.

  • Conclusion: Conclude your essay by showing how religion was important in the artwork of the Middle Ages to promote the control of society, establish politics and rule, and present the way the population should behave.

You should search for articles that highlight how art was a socioeconomic promoter in the middle ages and that's why religion was so important in these works, as it was an institution followed by the entire population and that determined all social factors.
