WHAT DOES TRIBALIST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tribalism

Tribalism is the state of being organized in, or advocating for, a tribe or tribes. In terms of conformity, tribalism may also refer in popular cultural terms to a way of thinking or behaving in which people are more loyal to their tribe than to their friends, their country, or any other social group. Tribalism has been defined in engaged theory as a 'way of being' based upon variable combinations of kinship-based organization, reciprocal exchange, manual production, oral communication, and analogical enquiry. Ontologically, tribalism is oriented around the valences of analogy, genealogy and mythology. This means that customary tribes have their social foundations in some variation of these tribal orientations, while at the same time often taking on traditional orientations, and modern orientations, including monetary exchange, mobile communications, and modern education. The social structure of a tribe can vary greatly from case to case, but, due to the small size of tribes, it usually involves a relatively undifferentiated role structure, with few significant political or economic distinctions between individuals.
