Tribes in the middle east have existed for centuries. Effective communication and culture propelled tribes into what they are today.

IK is unique to given cultures, localities and societies and is acquired through daily experience. It is embedded in community practices, institutions, relationships and rituals.

In order to understand the concept of national integration, one must first look at the definition of state and nation building. The creation of a single territorial unit’s infrastructure and its economy is the concept of state building, while nation building differs in that it relates to the creation of a community within the state.

The bringing together of a socially and culturally cohesive group into a single territorial unit is the first process of the national integration of a society. After this a society is then able to establish a national identity within this single territorial unit. Another aspect of national integration are the four parameters that need to be discussed, these include the language of the society, the religion of the individuals, their race and tribes. Along with the parameters of national integration, there are several tasks that can be done in order to achieve nation building within a state. These include the territorial integration of the culturally and socially discrete groups, value
