Work: A reality of the tradition the Ethiopia

Ethiopia is the second most populated country in the World as the last united nation report tell us. This is why Ethiopians are hardworking citizens and find satisfaction in their personal and spiritual labors.

Since the begging of time, Ethiopian culture has been known for their agriculture and their exports with products like coffee, corn , fish and cow distribution.

Now a days Ethiopians is based their agriculture work , as done in the past with a few differences like the manufacturing process speeds up and redistributes in different amounts the income. This is why the Ethiopians is still known as a third word country.

All in all , Ethiopians are very warm hearted and motivated in their daily jobs and labors. Making their love of god a priority in their lives.

CONTRAST AND SIMILARITIES AMONG HEROS DE ETHIOPIA


Menelik was a son of Salomón and the Queen of Saba. Born in the population of Hamasien in Eritrean. Their mother when it returned from Israel to Ethiopia it was in state of Menelik I. it Took the Ark from the Alliance to Ethiopia when he/she took a trip to Israel to know their father. Haile Selassie was the I finish emperor from Ethiopia, but it is also recognized as God made man, the Lord, among the members of the movement rastafari.


Both have having been emperors from Ethiopia in common, it also unites them the I toss of having the same real descendant and having been proclaimed emperor king on the part of one of their relatives, in the case of Haile Selassie through a coup, and Menelik 1 with the help of their mother that I name him emperor.


But big differences can also be observed, since, they were born in different countries, Haile was born in Ethiopia, and Menelik he was born in Eritrean. This last a mortal emperor was proclaimed, while Haile today in day God made man, the is considered lord, among the members of the movement rastafari. The time in which they governed its command was very different, since Menelik was emperor in the year of 1300, Haile it exercised its command in the year of 1930.


Although these two characters have things in common and different things, it unites them the fact of having transcended the history of Ethiopia

FAMILIES IN ETHIOPIA


The structure of ancient Ethiopian families was so important for them culture, why? Because social life, include politic and economic, turned around family. Everyone person in the family played an important roll that I am going to describe next:

FATHERHe was the worker; he spent time at landscapes with animals and other economic activities. The work includes a lot of things, such as crops, sailing, hunting and manufacturing. Ethiopian culture was so much in everything, at parties the man was the person who drinks all that he wanted; men could chose the wear (women could not) . When a man had a son, he had to be naked and carried his child, in a ritual dance, around the household.

MOTHER: They had very limited freedom outside the home. They could not assistant to parties, just funerals or something related with religious festivals. What was the role? She was the responsible of the house, she had to run the house and bring up children, but they did not do like a wife house, ancient Ethiopian women had slaves.

CHILDREN: Children were youth under the age of 30. Their role did not have importance, they had to help their mother, and help in the fields, if necessary. What did they love to do? Played with many toys, clay animals and stick horses on 4 wheels, with yo-yo’s and girls preferred to play with dolls.In brief Ethiopian families were so religious; they believed in a lot of “gods”, they were polytheist. They had some ritual routines based on mythological situations, they believed in deities and legendary characters.They were so different like us, cultures change and people change. Traditions at eastern are really different with western traditions, it depends at the history and maybe legends.

Ethiopia and the Origin of Civilization


FACES IN ETHIOPIA

ETHIOPIA AND THE ORIGIN OF CIVILIZATIONS

A Critical Review of the Evidence of Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Comparative Religion: According to the Most Reliable Sources and Authorities By John G. Jackson (1939) "It is pretty well settled that the city is the Negro's great contribution to civilization, for it was in Africa where the first cities grew up." E. Haldeman-Julius "Those piles of ruins which you see in that narrow valley watered by the Nile, are the remains of opulent cities, the pride of the ancient kingdom of Ethiopia. … There a people, now forgotten, discovered while others were yet barbarians, the elements of the arts and sciences. A race of men now rejected from society for their sable skin and frizzled hair, founded on the study of the laws of nature, those civil and religious systems which still govern the universe." Count Volney "The accident of the predominance of white men in modern times should not give us supercilious ideas about color or persuade us to listen to superficial theories about the innate superiority of the white-skinned man. Four thousand years ago, when civilization was already one or two thousand years old, white men were just a bunch of semi-savages on the outskirts of the civilized world. If there had been anthropologists in Crete, Egypt, and Babylonia, they would have pronounced the white race obviously inferior, and might have discoursed learnedly on the superior germ-plasm or glands of colored folk."

CIVILIZATIONS OF ETHIOPIA


THE ETHIOPIAN'S FAMILY


Africa is a continent which does not really matter for many people, this continent has a very important history but the world has been evading it for many centuries. In schools teachers teach just American, European, and Asian history, as result the humanity knows just a few things about Africa like it’s a poor country, like Africa was the slave’s continent and things like that, but have we asked ourselves about the true African history? Although people think that african history is just poor people, Africa is our life history. There is a family in this continent which has very rich culture its Ethiopian family
Ethiopian family is a very old family because it has history from the dynasty of Salomon. this family is a black family. It is in the only continent which has black pure people (original black people). The first family in the world was a black family therefore the white people are descendants of black p people, and if the first family was black then it has to be an African family, that’s why probably god (Jesus) was a black man. It’s important to know about Ethiopian families because they are the cradle of humanity,
The African family is called amhara, old people are very respected, women and men have the same rights, They don’t eat pig neither turkey. They eat white meats. Days there don’t start as here in the midnight, it starts when the sun appears, The chrismas is not at the end of the year it’s at 7 of January. Their ritual more important is called Fasika. The New Year is when the rain is over, these things are their culture.
Unquestionably Ethiopian family is our mother family, its proved that a black man or black woman can have white or black children but a white man and white woman can’t have black children, just white children consequently it stands to reason that the black people are our mother family. Then the black race is even religious and saint race because Jesus was a black man it’s logical because Jesus born in a place where the families were black, it has been hidden for a long time and thus was easier to have black slaves, the black people had to stand racism and injustices because of a lie, it wouldn’t have happened if the Catholic empire didn’t hide that our forbears are black people. It is right now in movies and in images where we can see that they just want to show that the white race is more beautiful than the black one
Finally it’s clear that Ethiopian culture and even more African culture are cultures which we have to learn more about because it’s our history too, these cultures are forgotten by the humanity and maybe as result Africa is now like it is, forgotten. There is missing a lot off information that we have to know about our forbears that we even don’t care about Ethiopian and therefore African cultures.
