Ethnic group

An ethnic group or ethnicity is a category of people who identify with each other based on common ancestral, social, cultural or national experience. Unlike most other social groups, ethnicity is primarily an inherited status. Membership of an ethnic group tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, origin myth, history, homeland, language and/or dialect, symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, art, and physical appearance.

Ethnic groups, derived from the same historical founder population, often continue to speak related languages and share a similar gene pool. By way of language shift, acculturation, adoption and religious conversion, it is possible for some individuals or groups to leave one ethnic group and become part of another (except for ethnic groups emphasizing racial purity as a key membership criterion).

Ethnicity is often used synonymously with ambiguous terms such as nation or people.

Depending on which source of group identity is emphasized to define membership, the following types of (often mutually overlapping) groups can be identified:

  • Peoples (store)

    Peoples is a defunct chain of department stores located in the Puget Sound area of Washington.

    The company was founded in 1888 in downtown Tacoma. The flagship store opened in 1895 at the corner of Pacific and 11th Street, which was the main intersection of downtown at the time. The store was expanded to the south in 1957.

    Peoples first expanded in the early 1940s by operating a chain of appliance stores called Electric City in many Puget Sound cities. Many of these stores would later be expanded to include apparel and would be rebranded under the Peoples name.

    By 1948 there were twelve stores in the Peoples chain. By 1968, the chain had consolidated its 12 small stores into seven larger regional stores. The new stores anchored several malls as well as stand-alone locations in downtown areas.

    The company was shut down by its parent company, Mercantile Stores, in 1984. The flagship Tacoma store was remodeled and renamed Puget Sound Plaza and currently houses offices and a Key Bank branch.

    I'll Be There

    by: Bubbles

    Most of the time life can make you happy
    Spinning on a merry-go-round
    Most of the time laughing and parties
    You got your friends all around
    But when you're sad and lonely
    You know you can phone me
    Anytime when you're feeling down
    O la la don't be unhappy
    O la la dry your tears away
    O la la Monday to Sunday
    O la la I'll be there
    I'll be there I'll be there
    Whenever you need me
    I'll be there
    Once in a while when the rain keeps falling
    You don't know what you're gonna do
    Once in a while when your heart is calling
    And nobody will listen to you
    Bridge
