They do many things there that Americans would consider barbaric including inserting lip plates and body painting. Men also use scarring as a type of beauty and bravery. Their style of beauty is far different from America's. Their style, culture, and way of life are barely comparable to American culture today.

When the tribe members think of rich tradition and their culture in the Mursi and Surma tribe, they think of their body painting, applying lip plates, and scarrring. This interesting art begins during the October Harvest, when the least amount of work is done. Everyone in the village participates in the activities in applying lip plates and body painting. First, in the body painting the body is covered with a mixture of chalk and water. Then, the artist removes the chalky mixture with their finger to make the pattern he or she wants. Patterns can be any shape or size and are designed for three reasons. The first reason is to attract the opposite sex with certain kinds of patterns or marking. The second reason is to scare away other tribes or potential enemies. The third reason is that little children also put markings on their body so they look like one another. Paintings can also be put on the face to resemble a mask or series of stars. This form of painting also can apply to pottery and tools (Gish 101). <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">Very interesting! Women in the Mursi and Surma tribes show their culture using lip plates. The plate is pierced into their lip, stretching and extended the lip. These plates are decorated with paint to show many other things (Mursi online). The designs can show tribal designs and can be personal preference. Plates can be circular, square, or rectangular (Africa guide). When the plate is removed, the lip will hang because it is stretched so much. The plate is made from clay or wood. Most women in these tribes wear the lip plate (Mursi Online). <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times New Roman;"> There are quite a few reasons for why the Mursi and Surma tribes of Ethiopia insert lip plates. Most of them are for ceremonial reasons, or to show their wealth (Woods). The plates are inserted around the age of 15 or 16. The size of the plate is a choice made by the individual girl, but some can get up to 12 centimeters or more in diameter. The reasons why they are inserted are to show that a girl is ready to be married, to show sexual maturity, or to show how much wealth the woman's husband has. How much money one family has is measured not by dollars and cents, but by how many cows the husband owns. It is said that to marry a man, the man must own at least 60 head of cattle. The women's marriage is arranged (Mursi Online). <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">Good info <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times New Roman;"> First, to insert the giant lip plate, they must cut the bottom lip. It's usually done by the mother or another woman in the settlement. The cut is held open by a wooden plug and stretched until the wound is healed. They use a razor blade to do this. Next, in order to fit the plate, they cut out the bottom teeth. This is very painful. Next they stretch the cut lip until the wound is healed. The girl decides how far it will be stretched. They need to stretch out the lip to be able to insert the plate. They make the plates by using clay and letting it sit out in the sun until it dries. This process only happens to the Surma and Mursi women of Ethiopia. It's never done to men, or young children (Mursi online). <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">Why not? The plate is often taken out because it causes discomfort to the women wearing it (Phillips and Carillet 207). <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times New Roman;"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">I bet it sounds really painful. In Ethiopia scarring is a sign of bravery in many ways. It is done with a razor blade and is very painful. Scarring is started at puberty and is continually done well into adulthood. Each tribe has different designs and tattoos.The tattoos are designed to keep away evil spirits and keep black magic away (National Geographic). To show the tribe members form of bravery, scars are added after member kill someone from the enemy tribe. Anthropologist see these methods as ways of controlled violence and a way to get young trive members used to pain and blood. It is also to introduce children to their violent life (Wikipedia). <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">Wow that's sad. In conclusion, Ethiopian beauty shows others their different culture and individuality. Lip plates, body painting and scarring all symbolize their culture. Ethiopians stand out against other’s culture with style and uncommon traditions. Even though many of their ways are painful they are important to them and the don't know differently. These traditions add much meaning to their lives. The people of the Mursi and Surma tribes of Ethiopia, are truly special and rare. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);"> This paper is very informative and well done!
