1000 different languages; different tribes

Conclusions: Regionalism or tribalism NOT nationalism Tribes see tribe as more important than individual and country

Problems of Tribalism Today 1. The tribe is more important than the nation. 2. Communication problems. 3. Inter-tribal warfare --> civil wars. 4. Tribal favorites for government jobs: Urbanization: Breaks down tribal traditions. Tribal intermingling on the job.
