After watching the video clip, answer the following questions:

1. Write a summary description of each of the three cultures you found. Be sure to include why each culture deserves to be classified as a band, a tribe, or a chiefdom.

A culture that is defined as a band is the Sicangu of Lakota tribes. This group of people are regarded as a band because of their small population of people, where flexibility and kinship were the biggest importance to the people. The Sicangu have their own lifestyle where they roam and move from place to place, with their own language and customs that are different than the Lakota tribes. This is classified as a band because they have no agricultural systems besides hunting and gathering, they are constantly roaming, and their is a small population for each said group. Then a tribe that I found that the Karen tribe located between Burma and Thailand to be very fascinating group. I find the practice of the women and the rings around their necks to be an interesting customs, and that it is so intriguing for people that they feel the need to visit their space for tourism. The group is very similar to the bands in the United States, but they have a much larger population of people and have a little bit more advanced system of agriculture. These people are not their own chiefdom because there are still small breakdowns in their governmental procedures, as well as they are not as advanced in agriculture. Lastly, an example of chiefdom would be the Ashanti in Africa. This chiefdom came to be because they had become more than just a developing group, but were not a state declared. They had a substance based agriculture which they could live on, they had a social class ranking where there were slaves at the bottom and at the top was one person, their chief. This is defined as a chiefdom because the hierarchy and agricultural development was more advanced than a tribe or a band, but they were not developed enough to have a military or a completely stable agricultural practice.

2. NGOs operate largely on grants and donations from private funders. Write a funding proposal for your NGO as if you were presenting it to a group of people to convince them that it is a worthwhile organization to fund.

My NGO is Circle of Sisterhood, which is a charity that is funded by the Panhellenic community. I am writing today because the Circle of Sisterhood has a lot of great potential that will your help can exceed out goals. The Circle of Sisterhood is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping poorer regions build programs and schools for girls around the world. The statistics for how education can positively increase the health of women in these communities is staggering, as well as the overall infrastructure increases more positively as well. The expense of $40,000 to implement in a society seems expensive in the short term, however, the proven monetary facts show that within 5 years the women who attend these schools save the government more than thousands of dollars, and actually increase the labor force participation and job markets. Why should anyone be denied education, especially if those being denied are bringing up the future generations? The funds will help more people today, because it is giving everyone a better future tomorrow, and that is where your money will go to, better our tomorrow.
