Diaspora

The word “Diaspora” is of Greek origin and it is used to refer to the people who have been displaced from the same territory or land. The dispersion usually occurs throughout the world. There are different understandings of the Diasporas. Diasporas may desire to be absorbed into the new environment they are living, but they may still want to maintain their distinction to other races. This they want to do as a Diasporas community due to their loyalty to their community. The institution and network formed by these people allow them to establish and adopt patterns that are usual to the community as an ethnic group that is surrounded by a majority community but is also aware of their primordial particulariosm. This refers to their language, religion and culture. A diasporas community has loyalty that exists beyond the boundaries of the environment they are living in. this causes them to be loyal that cross the boundaries and thereby link them to a transglobal entity. This is the reason why they are therefore less permeable to assimilating into the culture of host country. Such communities then prefer to love close with each other while retaining their language, culture and values. They may be equally participating in every day affairs such as education, schooling, work and other aspects of socializing, but still remain unabsorbed into the culture of the host country.

It remains true very much to its original culture.

This implies that the processes which the Diasporas community goes through may differ from one ethnic group to the other or differ from country to country. This means that it is not necessary that the characteristics shown by one diasporic community will also be found in the other diasporic community. They will probably differ a lot. This is due to several reasons. The most important reason is the loyalty that the members of a particular Diasporas community have towards their religion, culture and language. The second reason is how their culture conforms to the culture of the host country. Yet another reason is that the Diasporas community may come out to be severely restricted in the host county. Despite these many different reasons and factors, the common things about a Diasporas community are that it such communities tend to remain united. They commonly live in close communities and have their own groups and social events. They may use a different language with members of other community but with each other they use their traditional language. The same goes towards other forms of socializing.

Earlier on, the diasporic discussion was mostly related to the concept of homeland and that of the Jews. This is to say that the most common Diaspora was ...
