Ethnic Group
An ethnic group is a distinct category of the population in a larger society whose culture is usually different from that of the society. The members of such a group are, or feel themselves, or are sought to be, bound together by common ties of race or nationality or culture. In other words, a group of people having common racial, religious, linguistic, or national characteristics is known as an ethnic group.
The cultural elements, i.e. language, religion, faith, belief, nationality, customs, and traditions that have been passed on from one generation to another are of paramount importance in the division of mankind. In fact, division of mankind can be most accurate and precise when based on ways of living and thinking.
