STRUCTURE/SOCIAL ORGANIZATION

institutions – Religion is an important part of any ZYRO. To us religion does not have a multiple categories or names. A neighboring ZYRO might only believe in YEE while others may believe in all of our gods. Either way we all thank YEE. Religion brings every single ZYRO closer together which leads to harmony among our society. Nobody truly knows the origins of our gods or who implemented their beliefs on us. Nevertheless, it helps our culture by being helpful to other. In addition, our marriage helps to keep structure in the islands. A marriage is the bonding between men and women. It helps our society by keeping an understanding to whom everyone is attached. We have marriage because we believe being by ourselves decreases our life expectancy. Two hard working people helps our values instead of having one Zyro working by themselves. The islands leaders divide our government. No leader has more or less power than the others. We know that the less problems we have the better that is why a specific islands will handle their own politics. We have government to help control and move forward in our social life. Like mentioned hard work and leadership is important to us. Which is why many ZYRO work hard to become leaders in our government. Also, our economy is important to our social structure.  One can afford to buy better hunting and fishing material by having enough economic value. Usually economic value is gained by trade or by hard work. Like chopping down tress, fishing, hunting animals and later exchanging or selling. Economy helps with our hardworking value, which allows us to prosper in our lives.

demographics -  ZYRO men and women live beyond 40 years but almost never past 60. Since we believe in having at least one male and one female with our spouse, the islands see no decrease in either gender. All ZYRO are of a light brown skin, however with time the sun god changes our appearance. We believe that some of our ancestor came from a faraway land since some of us have blue eyes with thin hair while others have brown eyes with thick hair. Our age difference are balanced from the oldest ZYRO to the newborn ZYRO.

ritual- we have funerary and birth rituals as well as marriage rituals. They all consists of gathering safe flowers and presenting them to the ZYRO being married, buried, or newcomer. However, the one difference is when the rituals begin. Marriage rituals initiate when the sun god has left the sky. Funerary ritual begin when the sung god is halfway done with his day. In addition, birth rituals are done when the sun god begins his day.

food strategies- We eat from the ocean and the jungle. Both the ocean and the jungle have various amount of animals to eat. We have to hunt and battle animals in the jungle to eat them. ZYRO get ocean animals by hand, and use our weapons for big ocean animals. 

life cycle- when a new ZYRO is born into the world he or she is expected to be strong and hardworking. The parents decide when the child can being to help around their island. A ZYRO life consist of nonstop movement from birth to death. From young adulthood ZYRO, man and female must choose between fishing, hunting, or government. Adulthood sees a specific ZYRO grow to be a strong hunter, fisher, or strong political figure. When a ZYRO leaves our island and no longer lives she or he is not talked about. Unless, they are mentioned in a conversation filled with joy. We assume the gone ZYRO is with their favorite god.
