Age Grade
In sociology and anthropology, an age grade or age class is a form of social organization based on age, within a series of such categories, through which individuals pass over the course of their lives. This is in contrast to an age set, to which individuals remain permanently attached as the set itself becomes progressively more senior. The number of age classes, the determining ages and the terminology vary significantly between traditions. Even within a single society, a person may belong to several overlapping grades in different spheres of life, e.g. per year a different school class and yet for several years on end a child, then an adolescent, finally an adult. In tribal societies entry into an age grade – generally gender-separated – is often marked by an initiation rite, which may be the crowning of a long and complex preparation, sometimes in retreat. After a period of some years, during which they often perform certain common activities, alone or under senior gui ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Anthropologists have seen cases of women with Ichi scarification, although only men are amongst the ''Ozo,'' a title which accords the individual extreme prestige, power, and influence in the community. Taking ''Ozo'' title is extremely expensiv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
