In the modern world is quite an acute problem: "Nationality - is a political, social or biological concept?"Before talking about nationality, should get acquainted with concomitant terms.
people.Ethnicity.Nation
people - the "new generation", "people kind" of people united by a common territory - a fundamental concept in our theme.From the definition it is clear that this is only a biological term - people who have a close relationship.
Ethnos - a people that is formed over time from the family of peoples group of people who have the same language (belong to the same language group) and a common origin, the roots, but not geographically bound.
nation - a people with a common history of its development, culture, customs.If one people create their own national state, it will be called a nation.Thus, it is more aggressive, political concept.A nation can include several similar national groups.
Nationality - is ...
Nationality refers to any nation on biological grounds.It has no connection with a particular country or territory.For example, Germans, Kazakhs, or the British, who live permanently in Russia - their nationality remains the same with the change of residence of the state.Without nationality (characteristic of kinship between people) will not be of the people, he will not become a nation.
Now, almost all states are multinational, but also there are separate national republics.
important not to confuse citizenship and nationality.The first concept - social means to the society of which country is the individual.Second, as is clear from the definition, biological and shows who the person is by birth, descent.
Although in some countries the word "nationality" - it is still determining the nationality of the individual.
Awami National
people - is the smallest unit in today's debate, it is literally possible to perceive the word as a kind of family.In the course of its development, family (families) grows, divided, joined with their neighbors.But as they had common roots, and life took place in cooperation with each other, the territorial proximity, then gradually formed the general, the similarities are so genetically strong that transferred (-yutsya) descendants, regardless of time and distance - nationality peoples or folknationality.
So, if you look at the Germans, for example: nezhesaksonskie Germans frankontsy, Saxons, Swabians, the Bavarians - that's how many sub-ethnic groups (nations) refers to people of the same nationality.
In Russian, there are about thirty ethnic groups throughout Russia and abroad.And just two dialects - northern Russian (okayuschy) and South Russian (akayuschy).
How to determine the nationality
It would be easy.He lives in Germany, the Pope - a German mother - a German woman, he is also a German!But the path of humanity on Earth is already quite long.All mixed up - nations, ethnic groups, nations ... Identify a person belonging to a particular nationality very difficult.Especially when the pope in the family Poles and Jews, and my mother Spaniards and Finns, and all live in Australia.
Several ways still there:
- Nationality child receives from his father.Father from his father, and thus built up a pretty clear related (national) line.It happens all around the world, but a few nations.The Jews, for example, the child takes the mother's nationality.
- Some folk groups have a very bright, similar external signs.The structure of the body, or traits.On grounds such person is referred to a particular nationality.
- People who have no way of knowing the nationality of their ancestors (Orphans, for example), take or receive in the course of education, older features of the national group, which react most (foster parents or employees of the orphanage).
- most basic method has two interconnected processes definition - subjective and objective.First - this is what nationality a person carries himself: what he observes the tradition, has the features of appearance and character of native language it is.Second - it is perceived to his relatives.That is, identify whether the people selected national group with that person.Thus, nationality - a personal consciousness and the surrounding agree that a person belongs to the (unrelated) to a certain group of people (nations, ethnic groups).
