Fraternity

The definition of fraternity is as follows a local or national organization of male students, primarily for social purposes, usually with secret initiation and rites and a name composed of two or three Greek letters or another primary definition is any group or class of persons having common purposes, interests, etc. When put into a complete world view, the brotherhood of all people exists regardless of conflict. The people of this planet will be joined by one common aspect regardless of all other, we all inhabit the same Earth. The world can be seen as one continuous band of brotherhood even through separated by borders and different cultures. i would draw the parallel between fraternity and religion. Each country can be seen as a different fraternity, speaking as fraternities as they are seen on college campuses, the brotherhood exists in the population being the members of the fraternity. In this fraternity, both sexes are included. As with each different religion, Islam, Buddhism, etc these can also be seen as a symbolic fraternity. Each religion or fraternity brings something different to each member, identity, community and social bonds. Both fraternities and religion offer similar benefits such as identity, belonging and support for their members. regardless of the country, religion or fraternity, all people are part of a community that relies on each other for many social rewards. Each of these has the connection of brotherhood.
