Ethnos
Ethnos (from Greek - ἔθνορ - tribe, clan or family) or ethnic group is a nice group of
people whose members identify with each other based on: 1. biological origin; 2. appearance
3. kinship; 4. race; 5. nationality; 6. language; 7. culture; 8. religion; 9. history; 10. territory.
The members of the ethnic group belonging to realize it, but people outside recognize its
separateness.
Leading or even cover ethnicity named as the state and nation and language. For
example, of the title ethnic Bulgarians - a country Bulgaria, official languages - Bulgarian
language. Countries that have a federative (USA, India) or Confederate (Switzerland) type of
management no cover ethnicity.
It is important to note that the concept of ethnicity is not covered by the concept of race
- often one ethnic group is a mixture of races and sub-races.
Processes leading to the formation of ethnicity are: Consolidation - connection of
kinship, close to each other ethnicities in the nation; Mixation - connecting unrelated ethnic
groups in a political union - country; Assimilation - melting of one ethnicity (mostly smaller
and weaker) than other - larger and stronger ethnicity. Assimilation is of two types - natural
(mixed marriages) and violent - the prohibition to speak the language of ethnicity, children
going to school and others; Genocide - the physical destruction of one ethnic group by
another. Genocide is ethnic, religious and others.

The process which leads to the emergence of ethnicity is called
ethnogenesis from
Greek ἔθνορ – people, nation and γένεζιρ – origin.
Very interesting and provocative gaze is DESI KARAVELIKOVA for ethnogenesis of
Bulgarian ethnicity in terms of extensive DNA research. According to her, the Bulgarians
have a connection between a Basques, Georgians, Druze and North American tribes. There is
a very close relationship between Bulgarians and Romanians etc.
Currently, representatives of the Bulgarian ethnic group living outside Bulgaria,
especially in Albania, Bessarabia, Greece, Macedonia, Malaysia, Moldova, Romania, Serbia,
Turkey, Ukraine, Hungary.
Within the immigrant diaspora many ethnic Bulgarians live in: Australia, Austria,
Argentina, UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Canada, USA, Czech Republic.
Historically, the Greek philosopher and historian Herodotus was the first in the 5th
century BC. presents the main features of the ethnicity of the Greeks, among which are:
kinship - "same blood", "speak the same language 'customs and traditions -"the same habits or
life. "
The first modern use of the term ethnicity or ethnic group began in 1935 and is
indicated in the Oxford English dictionary in 1972. Since then today in everyday language,
the words ethnic and ethnicity still connect with exotic peoples, minority issues and race
relations.
In the social sciences the two concepts are introduced by the German sociologist Max
Weber, as their meaning is directed to human groups considered each other through the prism
of the culture significant differences.
DONALD NOEL developing a theory of the origin of ethnic stratification that certain
relatively fixed characteristics of the group, for example, race, religion or nationality, are used
as the main criterion for assigning social positions. According to him, ethnic stratification is
one of many different types of social stratification. It occurs only when ethnic groups come
into contact with each other and only when these groups are characterized by a high degree of
ethnocentrism, competition and powerful.
Supporters of the so-called. contemporary constructivism, which correlates with the
emergence of ethnic movements aimed at a nation-states, among which and ERIC
HOBSBAWM argued that ethnicity and notions of ethnic pride, like nationalism, are purely
modern inventions, appearing only in the modern period of world history. They say that
before this period ethnic homogeneity is not considered ideal or necessary factor in the
creation of large-scale societies.
It can be concluded that the current use of the terms ethnicity and ethnic group mainly
reflect different attitudes that states have with outside groups relative to traditional population.
So opposes national people with different cultural identities through migration or nyakakkav
another process was carried out, for example conquest with different cultural mainstream
(from English mainstream – fashion, prevailing) - the dominant perception and understanding
in a given area or for a particular object; most widespread thought to which adheres majority.
With ethnos and ethnicity are related to other concepts, such as:
Ethnic identity (belonging) - category related to awareness of belonging to a particular
ethnic group. Recent studies show that ethnic identity plays an important role in the life
of the individual. Ethnic identity not only enables people to realize their uniqueness
through their group but also affects the tolerance and evaluation related to "others." The
positive ethnic identity leads to a sense of respect towards other ethnic groups, ie
tolerance.
