Ethnicity can be defined as an
identity with membership in a particular national, cultural group and
observance of that group’s customs, beliefs, and language. The term ethnicity
is often used on a negative basis, whereas ethnicity is two-sided. This is
majorly because; negative ethnicity has far-reaching negative impacts. However,
it can either be positive or negative. This article focuses on emphasizing the
positive side of ethnicity.
Positive ethnicity is vital for the
economic performance of a country, not only regionally but also globally. Take,
for instance, a leader who has lived in Kenya amidst the diverse cultures and
communities. It’s needless to say that such a leader has interacted with
various people from the diverse communities on the Kenyan soil, as such; he has
gained valuable experience of dealing and coping up with different groups of
people, races, regardless of their diverse views. Such a leader, therefore,
stands a higher chance to succeed at the global level. This is a plus for our
country’s economic development since the leader will be crucial in formation of
key economic development ties and platforms for our country.
Ethnic diversity comes along with
diverse ideas. In fact, our reasoning and the ideas we raise are largely
influenced by the encounters we have had in our daily lives, yet most of those
encounters are very unique to specific ethnicity. Diversity of ideas gives an
individual a wide range of ideas to choose from. As a result, the individual is
most likely to end-up with the very best of the ideas. However, this is only
limited to those individuals who have developed a capability to listen and
understand people from other ethnicity. Shhh…Whispers… such an individual is
also lucky to choose a spouse from a wide range of tribes!
